  - Windows XP Security >> XP Home, userpasswords2 and Power Users - deadly combinationI posted this question on the end of an old thread - didn't check the date first. As it's not going to get seen there, I'm going to repost, please forgive the double-post.
    
    I'm used to XP Pro but am currently on a 'loaner' computer while mine is in the shop. I didn't realize there was a limitation in XPHome with Power users. I renamed and changed my account to a power user in Userpasswords2, which Home doesn't support. What this means is I can ctrl+alt+del twice and type in the username and password, but my account is no longer shown on the Welcome screen, or in any userpasswords control applet. Any ideas how to set this account back to administrator?
    
    Thanks.

  - customize >> System Tray iconsI have checked that the taskbar has hide inactive icons
    checked, but for some reason the icons in my system tray
    have stopped auto hiding when inactive, the little arrow
    does not appear and the icons refuse to hide.
    
    Any suggestions what could be causing this? I am running
    XP Pro with SP1.
    
    Many thanks

  - Windows XP >> Work Offline/Try again messageVery frequently "Work Offline/Try Again message" pops up
    while I'm in the Internet Explorer, and yet I'm on a
    cable connection with other internet items up and
    running. Is there a reason for this or a setting I need
    to modify to stop this, or could it be a firewall setting?
    
    TIA

  - Windows XP Support >> SP2 won't install..Hi there,
    
    I've got a Dell machine here and tried to do the repair install with the
    original CD Rom install disk and it completed and now it's back to SP1.
    
    I went to install SP2 on it and it failed to complete it due to permissions
    denied when backing up the registry. I took ownership under "administrator"
    of all the keys in the registry and it still won't complete. Then I just
    kept hitting "ignore" when informing me of the permissions denied in backing
    up the registry and it went along a lot further, but when it came almost to
    the end of install SP2 it all of a sudden came up with a permission denied
    in installing the SP2.
    
    So, I've failed miserably in fixing this one....
    
    What should I do?
    
    Thanks,

  - Windows XP Security >> damaged activexHello
    In internet options,settings,view objects there is a damaged activex this is
    what it looks like- codecs/i386/fhg.CAB.When I tried to dowload from any
    secure site I received the message your current settings prohibit you from
    running activex on this page etc.I checked the security settings several
    times to be sure that they were correct,they are at the default level,I
    cannot download from windows update or log into any secure sites.I received
    one other message which said setup could not verify the integrity of the
    update ,please make sure the cryptographic service is running,I looked there
    and it is running.Would this be caused by the damaged activex and how can it
    be fixed if I cannot use update,I downloaded the codecs/i386/fhg.CAB from
    microsoft but was not sure what to do after it was extracted,Itried to repair
    the activex by clicking on properties and then repair but it won't be
    repaired. the computer is running XP Home.Thank you

  - Windows XP Network >> Network Path Not foundI had a power outage the other night. My system came back up but now I am no
    longer able to connect to any of my shares on any computer. I receive the
    "Network Path not found" error.
    
    From my other systems I can access the shares on the bad computer with no
    problems.
    
    Here is what I have done.
    
    1. Made sure no firewall(s) were running.
    2. Ping the other machines with no problem, name lookup also works
    3. uninstalled the network card replaced it with another card.
    4. changed the workgroup name and IP addresses of each computer
    5. reinstalled sp2.
    6. uninstalled both Microsoft client and file and printshare then
    reinstalled.
    
    I can do everything dealing with the network except access windows shares on
    this computer. Any help would be great. I would like to fix this rather
    than blow the system away and reinstall clean.
    
    Thanks

Windows XP Security >> Using SRP to allow users rights to certain files. Can SRP be used to allow a USER to install a certain program if that
program EXE is listed as "Allowed" under Additional Rules?

Also, is there another rule aside from Unrestricted? That one
allows/disallows based on user level. Is there anyway where it would
universally allow without considering the user level?

  - Windows XP Basic >> A newbie question: activating XPGreetings,
    
    I'm new to Windows - have been using Mac for many years. In order to run
    some of the sofware I need for my work I bought an used PC, NetVista by
    IBM, where the terminal and system is made as one unit. It had Windows
    XP installed in it. Surprisingly, the system turned out to be very
    stable, with no problems and crashes. But I guess it's a human nature to
    create problems where there aren't any...
    
    Each time upon startup I was getting a message "new upgrade is ready for
    your computer." First I was ignoring it, but then one not so fine day I
    thought, "what the heck, let's do update and see what happens." What
    actually happened is that my computer downloaded Service Pack 2 and then
    asked me to activate the Windows. When I pressed the activation, it
    informed me that my product code had been used by another computer and I
    need to pay $240 for activation. I paid for this computer much less
    than that and, besides, I'm planning to buy a brand new system in a
    couple of months.
    
    So what should I do now? Before I installed the Service Pack 2 it never
    asked for any activation. Now it gave me 30 days to activate. From
    reading other posts in this group I realize that after 30 days my system
    will stop working. Should I try to restore the system to previous state
    by unistalling SP2? I just need this computer for a couple of more
    months before I buy a new one. One more thing: when I bought it, I
    bought it "as is" (at office liquidation sale) - with no disks or
    instructions. It never occured to me that my OS might by pirated - it
    was seemly respectable office, after all. I haven't talked yet to
    Microsoft customer service yet.
    
    Thank you in advance for any help and advice.

  - Windows XP Security >> XP SP2 blocks PDF filesEver since installing SP2 over Win XP Pro I can no longer
    open locally-stored PDF files in my browser. For example,
    if I create an HTML document and link to a PDF file on my
    hard drive, it will not open and instead I get a security
    warning and an image placeholder that displays in the
    upper left corner. This occurs even though I select the
    option to "allow blocked content" when prompted by the
    Information Bar.
    
    What's strange is that SP2 does allow me to launch Acrobat
    and open PDF files across the Internet, but not those
    stored locally on my hard drive.
    
    A solution would be greatly appreciated.

    disc space has been cleared and then the message
    regarding low disc space comes up again. I checked for
    viruses but did not find any. I did receive some e-mail
    notices saying that mail was undeliverable because
    the "too big virus" was attached. I delete all e-mails
    from people I do not know without opening them. I have
    always done this, but I do beleive a virus has gotten
    past my firewall and virus scans. I checked with comcast
    and the problems I am having are NOT related to the cable

  - Windows XP >> documents and settingsI don't know how to do a screen capture, but under my D&S folder there are
    20 sub-folders. There is Admistrator, Administrator.Goldberg,
    administrator.goldberg.ooo, all users, all users.windows, etc. Some are
    localservice.nt authority.xxx, networkservice.nt authority.xxx, etc.
    
    I would like to know which ones I can consolidate, and how do I know which
    is the "main" one my computer is using so after consolidation I can delete
    the other folders.
    
    Some of the sub-folders are Application Data, Cookies, Desktop, etc but the
    sub-folders are not the same in each folders, i.e. not all have "application
    data".
    
    Thanks!!
