- Windows XP Security >> Screen Saver settingsIn the display settings, the screen saver tab has everything greyed out so
that you can not make chanegs to it. I have checked gpedit.msc and all
aspects involving the screen saver settings are set to "not configured". Is
there a place in the registry to lock out the SS settings? Am I missing
something here?

- Windows XP >> looking for software to auto move fileshi, i am looking for a piece of software that will help me clean up my
desktop.
i need it to move all files from my desktop on a scheduled basis to
another disk on the computer. it must move directories as well as
files, and preferably have the ability to exclude selected
directories.
anyone know of something that fits the bill.
the closest i have found so far is second copy 2000 but that leaves
behind empty directories so its not quite what i want.
thank you

- Windows XP >> Unexpected Outgoing eMailOccasionally, when I send/receive email, I notice that my antivirus software
appears to be scanning an extra outgoing email. This is particularly
evident when I know that I am only sending one email, but I can see scanning
indicated for 1 of 2, and 2 of 2. On checking my "sent" folder, there is no
evidence of an extra email, and I know that I have not replied to an email
within a folder other than my inbox where replies would be stored. I have
set my options to never send a receipt for incoming email. Interestingly,
this never seems to happen when my outbox is empty before I send/receive.
My configuration is Windows XP Pro, Office XP (I never use Outlook Express
for email), Norton System Works 2003 with Personal Firewall, and a D-Link
firewall. I update software daily, run an antivirus scan daily, and update
D-Link firmware monthly. I also run AdAware, SpyBot, and SpySweeper weekly.
Advice? Is there undetected spy ware? Is NSW erroneously reporting the
number of outgoing messages being scanned? Help!

- Windows XP Security >> XCACLS causes error in permissionsAfter using xcacls from the resource kit to change permissions on a
folder and its contents, explorer reports an error on the permissions.
This happens in XP as well as Win2000.
[Xcacls should be the same as cacls, with the exception of an added
"/Y" switch to make it easier to use from a batch file].
What I did was grant access to one account, and revoke (deny) it for
another:
xcacls <path> /T /E /G User1:F /Y
xcacls <path> /T /E /D User2 /Y
After executing these commands through wshShell.Run in a script,
opening the security tab in the folder's properties (or any item
within it) causes this message to appear:
The permissions on <name> are incorrectly ordered, which may cause
some entries to be ineffective. Press OK to continue and sort the
permissions correctly, or Cancel to reset the permissions.
Clicking OK or Cancel >>seems<< to do what the message says, but the
changes aren't saved when the properties dialog is closed: the same
error reappears the next time the security tab is opened.

- Windows XP Support >> What's the best synchronization software?What's the best synchronization software?
Hi all,
I have a working directory at work on my office PC. And I some times do work
at home at my home PC. And I also keep a copy on my laptop. Due to company
policies, I have to use USB drive to copy and paste from one computer to
another. I keep adding/deleting/modifying files on these three computers and
the directories are now a mess. I lost track about which PC keeps which
version of my work and when the files get more and more the whole situation
becomes a nightmare.
Could anybody recommend a good and effective sync software to handle these
things, esp. the sync through the USB drive? I assume the software should
not only copy and paste, but also resolve the conflicts by merging and
asking me to decide how to merge or discard files/changes.
I need the best sync software to boost my productivity. Thanks a lot!

Windows XP Security >> A question on whis is my firewall icon blinking.
I have a very simple question, but it is not simple if you
don't know the answer. I have Norton's Personal Firewall
Protection, and I am wondering why the Firewall icon on the
taskbar at the bottom of the window is blinking.
I looked in the help section, but the answer is probably so
simple that it is not there. What does that red blinking light
on my Firewall icon mean? Thanks anyone for an answer.

Greetings --
Do you have the firewall configured to show the Alert Tracker? If
so, it's probably telling you that it has blocked an attempted
intrusion.

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Video capture failsHello,
My Sony DCR-TRV22 has offered loads of movie-making fun up till now. As of
today, this is what happens when I try to capture video:
1. Tape rewinds okay
2. Capture starts and immediately pops up this error message: "The device is
not responding. Close any other application that is using the device and
try capturing again."
As far as I know, I have no other applications using this device, and MM is
the only application open.
The only recent/relevant changes on my system that I can think of are:
1. I installed Power DVD 4.0 and (after many MM crashes and PapaJophn's tip)
the recent patch from CyberLink (which solved the problem).
2. I had some network and security issues during which I accidentally
enabled a firewall on the 1394 connection. Since then I have disabled that
and then uninstalled and reinstalled the connection. I have also tried to
"repair" the connection, but the system tells me that TCP/IP is disabled and
cannot be repaired. This seems somewhat strange since the TCP/IP connection
box is checked and the properties tell me that things are functioning
properly. But having checked with other users of working cards, this
response is standard.
So is this more likely to be a MM problem or a connection issue? And how to
proceed?
I have found reference to a utililty
(http://www.tek-tips.com/gviewthread.cfm/lev2/5/lev3/60/pid/581/qid/346979)
that restores registry keys that may have become corrupted, but am hesitant
to use this until I know for sure that this is the source of the problem
(although there is a backup function).
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

- Windows XP >> Misplaced Product KeyI bought a new computer from Radio Rentals just before christmas 2005 for my
son, i would like to format his computer but we did not received a Win XP
Home Edition disk with the system when we bought it, but we did get a Product
Key which i registered and activated with Microsoft straight away.
I asked a sales man in Radio Rentals about the disk and he said they dont
give out the CD's anymore just the Product Key.....
The problem i have at the moment is i would like to format my sons computer
but we have misplaced the Windows Product Key that came with the system.
Is they anyway Microsoft can help me with finding the product key within my
sons computer, or does Microsoft have it stored somewhere in their data base?
We have three computers in the household all using Windows XP Home Edition,
registered and activated through Micosoft.

- Windows XP Setup >> Curious ScreenSaver behaviorI installed the Plus! Aquarium screensaver. It shows a tank of swimming
fish and also has the option to produce a bubbling sound., which I turned
on.
The computer is set to go on standby after a longer interval, so if left
unattended, the screensaver comes on in about five minutes, and the monitor
and hard drive goes into standby after fifteen minutes.
Once in standby, the screen then goes blank. But the bubbling sound
continues.
I'm guessing that the screensaver is in RAM, so the process doesn't require
the use of the hard drive nor the monitor. Is that what's going on?

- Windows XP Network >> Beginner Network ProblemsGood Evening All -
1. Purchases two new HP Pavillion PCs - have two eMachines - all with XP
SP2. One Linksys Hub - Cable for internet connection.
2. All PCs connected to the internet just fine.
3. Run the "Create Home Network Wizard" - when provided for the option to
create a disk - I do not see my DVD or CD drive as a choice - so I assume
that I don't have to create one, as all PCs are XP - so I say no and finish
Wizard - this is obviously not the solution.
4. Questsioned someone (you know the one - that knows enough to be dangerous
and destroy all in their path) why no CDs came with the new PCs - they said
to create one through some place under control panel - not very explicit with
instructions - sort of a blah blah blah...
so where to go to now - I would like to understand why I don't see my CD
drive as an option (I do see it in Explorer and am able to run DVDs and CDs -
the system sees them and there are no 'exclamation points' indicating a
conflict or problem of sorts)
and would love to get these things connected to share my other limited
resources of printers/fax and files...
