- Windows XP >> Can't Delete "Microsoft Websites" from FavoritesI'm using Windows XP Prof, SP2 at work. I use Favorites menu in Windows
Explorer and "Microsoft Websites" is one of the entries. I didn't add it to
Favorites and every time I delete it, it comes back the next time I open
Windows Explorer. It also shows up in IE7 links. How can I make

- Windows XP Support >> Fast User SwitchingI'm lost in trying to figure out why the Fast User Switching (FUS) box
keeps getting "unchecked". (Fast User Switching is located via Control
Panel / User Accounts / Change The Way Users Log On Or Off).
Bottom line is that I am unable to switch users without getting logged
off myself. I also tried to check the FUS box is SAFE MODE, but it
didn't save my changes.
Is it a registry problem or am I missing something. FYI - I have
already disabled Offline Files.
Tks!
P.S. Sorry if my message appears twice...I'm a new registered user and
just getting myself acquainted with this forum.

I'm excepting to have <1ms values only.
I'm having troubles to keep connected when playing games online (such as
BF2).
Always disconnected from the server.
When I'm restarting Windows, the problem is disappeared and repeated again
after.
What are those weird values?
Is my TCP/IP stack screwed up?
Is it possible that my network driver or adapter is buggy?
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Inactivity PasswordWhen I don't use my computer for at least 15 minutes, then it automatically
brings up a password screen. The only way to begin working on my computer
again is to enter a password. Is there a way to disable this feature? I
have been told that it can be fixed on Control Panel, Display and using the
Screen saver tab. The problem is that I don't have a screen saver tab. How
do I add this to my system?

It appears to be permanently set to C:\....\My Videos, and I want to save
all my projects on my E drive, and in a folder called Projects. I have to
navigate to that folder every time I create / save a project. (I find "My
Videos" too general a name and I like to split my work into separate folders
i.e. Captured Video, Projects, Saved Movies).
I know how to change the default for temp files but that is not the issue.
My query concerns only Project files.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> MegaFLOPS and hyper-threadingI have a P4 2.8 w/HT, 1G Ram. Sony VAIO. (PassMark Performance Test)
I am a day trader and work from home. My software - MetaStock runs some
serious calculations and my computer runs it so slowly - so I have been
trying to get the most I can. I just finished formatting and starting clean.
I have run a test that shows a main score average around 330 and a MegaFLOPS
score of 220. I figured this was good but checked on friends and family's
computers and their MegaFLOPS scores were in the 500s and 600s.
Just for fun - I disabled HT in my BIOS. My main score moved up a little to
349 but my MegaFLOPS went balistic and hit 630 - about 400 points.
1) Which score is more important for normal users? ...overall or MegaFLOPS?
2) I run a ton of programs at the same time - mail, music, MetaStock,
internet,etc., should I have HT on or off ?
3) Is it normal that HT would bring down my MegaFLOPS score?
4) Can I improve this?
Thank you so much !!!!!

- Windows XP Network >> "Use simple file sharing" setting will not stay changed!Hi Everyone,
As the subject states, I am clearing the Use simple file sharing setting
(no check mark). Once I restart the PC, the check mark is back!
Also, connected with this issue, the Forceguest setting under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
changes back to it's default setting of 00000001 after a reboot (I want it
to stay at 00000000).
I require this setting off as it is affecting my Dell IT Manager, but it
will not keep it's setting!!!
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!

Windows XP >> Access WinXP Pro shares from older MS network
I have now been trying to get a box running XP Pro (not joined any domain)
to work in a peer-to-peer network with Win98 and LanMan DOS (network boot
disk).
I understand that MS now have made the peer-to-peer different than earlier,
but I can't really understand in what way. I have been running "Windows XP
Simple File Sharing" and disabled "ForceGuest" in the Reg.database.
So now I am able to share folders like "in the old days" with WinNT Pro and
assign ressources as I am used to.
But... it does not seem to work. When I use a bootdisk (which works up
against a Win2k server) to do a "net use" against the XP Pro, it does not
connect to the XP Pro, but returns an error instead.
If I try to connect (browse via Network Neighbourghood) to the WinXP Pro
from a Win98, it also returns an error. The XP Pro does show up in the
browse list though.
I am accessing with usernames and passwords that are created and granted on
the XP box. What more do I need to do in order to get it working as with
WinNT?
Regards, Lars.

- Windows XP Update >> Blue Screen after W2K Update Rollup?Hi,
I just attempted to update a Windows 2000 Server SP4 through Windows Update
including the Update Rollup. After reboot it shows a Blue Screen.

KMode_Exception_not_handled

All F8 options don't work. There have never been any problems with the

Does anybody know a solution? Should I run a repair installation from CD? Is
there a known problem with the update rollup?
Thanks a lot,

- Windows XP >> 3d minesweeper game released3D Minefield is a 3D minesweeper game, it is a refreshing concept of
the old minesweeper game. It is a challenging game of strategy and
luck, taking its payers to the wonders of 3D environment. The game is
based on the classical minesweeper game with adjustable parameters that
allow you to change and complicate the game. Changing the classic
two-dimensional game to an original three-dimensional game has added to
the playability without changing the basic game logic.
To play 3D Minefield:
1.You can uncover a cube by clicking it. If you uncover a mine, you
lose the game.
2.If a number appears on a cube, it indicates how many mines are in the
six cubes that surround the numbered one.
3.To mark a cube you suspect contains a mine, right-click it.
4.If you are uncertain about a cube, right-click it twice to mark it
with a question mark (?). Later, you can either mark the cube as a mine
or remove the markings by right-clicking the cube again once or twice.
5.If you have marked all the mines around a numbered cube, you can
uncover the remaining cubes around it by clicking the numbered cube
with the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously. If not all mines
surrounding the numbered cube have been marked, the remaining covered
or unmarked cubes will flash when the numbered cube is clicked with
both buttons simultaneously.
Controls:
In this game, you can operate a camera that allows you to survey the
playing field by keyboard.
W or UP -- rotate up;
S or DOWN -- rotate down;
A or LEFT -- rotate left;
D or RIGHT -- rotate right;
Z -- zoom in;
X -- zoom out;
ESC -- quit.
You can download this game at http://www.softsession.com

- Windows XP Support >> System restore xp home doesn't workI recently disabled and reenabled system restore in order to resolve a
spyware issue( Symantec's suggestion which didn't help, although I did
solve the problem).
I have a Dell Computer with XP home, and have tried to use system
restore. Even though there are restore points, system restore won't
work and I get an error message that system restore isn't working.
I looked at the Microsoft troubleshooter, and both task scheduler and
WMI are listed in CMD netstart.
Suggestions for reenabling system restore?
