- Windows XP Security >> Windows Update Error 0x80072EFDHi
Just attempted to install latest Windows update feature.
However during the initial download of the the update I
chickened out and cancelled the download. After reviewing
the Windows update feature I decided to give it another
try. While my computer was being analyzed to establish
whaat updates were required I recieved the following error
No 0x80072EFD. There is are similar errors posted by
Microsoft to troubleshoot this problem but none with the
same error No:
Any help appreciated in resolving this problem as I cannot
update Windows (although maybe this is not such a bad
thing)
Regards

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> PC Booster SoftwareI am now using XP after using ME (upgraded). My computer
seems to be a lot slower with XP on it, and I have seen
some articles about PC BOOSTER software which claims to
increase the speed of your computer and stop crashing and
so forth. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if these
products are safe to use or will I be inviting trouble
fiddling with the computer. Also if I was to run it would
I be able to un-run it and get back to being slow again if
I don't like what it has done to my computer? Can anyone
give me a suggestion?

- Windows XP Support >> Need Help with Microsoft Management Console (MMC)I have two machines, one on my left and one on my right.
By design I have named the machines LEFT and RIGHT :<)
The machines are LAN'ed together via a router and are able to share
each others folders in their root directories just fine. So my
network must be set up okay.
I want to try using Remote Management, and am trying to set up MMC to
do so. On LEFT machine, I brought up MMC (via command line) and went
to 'Add/Remove Snap-in', clicked on 'Add', and added 'Local Users and
Groups'. It asked me to name the computer I wanted to manage and so I
wanted to choose machine RIGHT. So I chose 'Another computer' and
'browse'. I then clicked on 'Advance' and 'Find Now'. It found LEFT
and RIGHT in Workgroup MSHOME, and I selected RIGHT. MSHOME\RIGHT
then showed in the select computer window. I then clicked on OK
and Finish. I immediately got the error 'Unable to access the
computer RIGHT. Access is denied'.
What have I missed?
Thanks

- Windows XP Network >> Copy files from one computer to another!I have two computers, one has Windows 2000 Pro installed

computer to the other? Your help will be greatly

- Windows XP >> Documents & Settings Can of Worms: Too Many FoldersI've got eight different sub folders under Documents and Settings:
Administrator
Administrator.MICRON
All Users
All Users.WINNT
Anonymous
anonymous.MICRON
Default.User
Default User.WINNT
What do you call the concept that these sub folders refer to?
"Profiles"? "Users"? "I.D.s"? For now I'll call them "Users" for
lack of the proper term.
Trouble is, important data and program files have somehow gotten
scattered around amongst all of these different "Users."
I am the only user of this computer and so would like to have all of
my data and program files together in a single "User."
How may I sort out this mess?

a.k.a. "Clueless"
P.S. As for the question of how my Documents and Settings folder got
so scrambled up in the first place, I only have part of the answer.
One cause was that I first installed Windows 2000 as an upgrade to
Windows 98. But that installation became so unstable that I tried a
clean install of Windows 2000.

- Windows XP Network >> network not resolving users names in Manage in WINDOWS XP PROThe issue I have is this.
I have several models of PC, diff mfg, with Gigabit nics in them. Once I
put my windows XP image on the PC, under computer management under local
users and groups, my network users are not being resolved into there proper
names. ex. domain\Domain admins, or even domain\userID.
What will appear is the list of users, that look like this:
?234937213974213830
It will be like this for each of my users.
Like this I am not able to log onto the system and network.. very bad.
Know... when I DISABLE Media Sensing... it will work fine.. all my users get
resolved into what they should be.
I dont WANT to Disable Media sensing as I have a ton of mobile users that
need connectivity from office to office. If I disable media sensing, they
will need to reboot there PC everytime. AND THEY DONT WANT TO. Plus were
installing Wireless, and it would be nice just to pick up there PC and move
it where ever they want.
Any suggestions out there as to what I need to do. OTHER then keep Media
sensing disabled ?
Thanks in advanced !!!!

- Windows XP >> System restore, where are the back up filesAfter being unable to get into windows, I did a system
restore using the restore cd. Now I need to know where
it backed up the files to, so I can get them back. Did
it remove all of my programs? In the restore section,
going through windows, it won't let me pick another date
to restore from, I was going to just go back to another
day.
Any advice would be appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> Can't access private folderHey. I had xp home installed on one partition of my hard drive, and had
relocated My Documents to another partition. I had it set to Private. I
didn't have xp home for all that long before i reinstalled it (about a
month). After the reinstall, i changed My Documents to where i had it on the
second partition, but when i tried to access the folder it gives the same
message that you would get if you trying to access a private folder from a
different user.
I've checked in the properties menu, and "Make this folder private" is not
checked. I even attempted to share the folder on the network I got an error
saying i don't have permission to access the drive. Does anyone know how I
can access it? It has a lot of important stuff in there.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Search Engine Opening Out of Order?Every time I go to open a file folder the Windows XP "SEARCH" engine keeps
popping up instead. It took me a while to notice that "OPEN" had been replaced
by "SEARCH" as the primary function at the top of the box under the "FILE"
function command (?) list {what is the right name for those boxes under "File,
etc., etc. etc., etc. ..."}. Can I swap "SEARCH" for "OPEN" in some way, or
remove it from the list of "Command Functions" altogether (or at least place it
toward the bottom in a standby position)?
I know this sounds silly, and it was my own damned fault for not slapping my
hand when fiddling with important functions. Unfortunately, it has gone beyond
"SYSTEM RESTORE", I did something to make "SEARCH" a _permanent_ feature on the
list. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> Chkdsk problemI recently performed a Windows XP repair install on my system and,
fortunately, the install went well. The only problem I have found is that I
am now unable to run Chkdsk.. When I go to perform a scan via Tools on C:
properties, I am given the message "Windows was unable to complete the disk
check."
I have tried to run Chkdsk through the command prompt but receive a message
telling me that Chkdsk does not work on NTFS volumes - although I never had
this problem before the repair install.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction? The Microsoft website hasn't
been very helpful.
Thank you.
