- Windows XP Security >> MI5 Persecution: Stasi 21/4/96 (16217)Subject: Chief Constable Alderson Condemns "Stasi" MI5
Newsgroups:uk.misc,uk.politics,uk.media,uk.legal,soc.culture.british
Organization: Toronto Free-Net
Summary:
Keywords:
John Alderson, former Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall, had the
following to say about the expansion of the Security Service's powers, in
a recent magazine article;
"It is fatal to let the secret service into the area of ordinary crime.
MI5 is not under the same restraints as the police. They infiltrate
organisations, people's jobs and lives. They operate almost like a cancer."
"At the moment the acorn of a Stasi [the former East German communists'
secret service] has been planted. It is there for future governments to
build on."
The message is clear. Criminal subversion and criminal harassment by an
unpoliced minority not subject to the law, "infiltration of people's jobs
and lives" is with us today.

- Windows XP Support >> deleting files and folders WinXP HomeHi y'all,
I've done a little searching in the KB and didn't find anything to help me
with my problem. I've even looked here and nada. Any way, I cannot delete
nor open some files and folders on one of my drives. I have admin rights.
I've tried safe mode, tried command prompt while explorer is closed (a
suggestion from someone here). I've tried everything I can think of. Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Robert

- Windows XP Support >> corrupted system fileI'm working on a dell xp pro machine with the following error upon restarting:
Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
I went into the recovery console off a xp pro disk (was not installed on the
hard drive) and replaced the c:\windows\system32\config\system file with the
c:\windows\repair\system.bak file (.bak extension removed).
I used the "system.bak" file because, in the \repair folder, a "system" file
did not exist (contrary to ms kb artical 307545). I have other dells in the
office and tried to copy the "system" file onto a cd for transfer onto the
flawed computer (too large for a floppy), but it's useless because the
recovery console is running from an xp disk in the only cd drive.
Upon exiting, windows now boots until it reaches the black microsoft windows
xp screen, but never makes it any further (in normal mode). In safe mode,
windows boots until it gets to a list of drivers and then locks up.
I tried going back into the recovery console, and it's now asking for a
password, which of course is invalid. I looked up fixes for this problem and
they all require going into windows. I also noted that it may be possible to
work around the password if you boot from a windows 2000 cd.
I would greatly appreciate any advice, including opening the window and
throwing the thing onto the street.
Thanks

Windows XP Setup >> Upgrade to XP Pro from 98 SE
I tried upgrading from 98SE to XP Pro. However, it looks
like it got all the way through copying all the files and
then hung. Any advice as to what to do next? At this
point, I am a little gun shy.

- Windows XP Support >> new name for computerWhen I first turned on my computer, it asked me to name the computer, and
said that i could always rename it once setup was complete. Instead of
giving it no name, I gave it a really foul and embarassing name. Now that
it is displayed on th bottom of the screen, I need to change it, bu cannot
for the life of me figure out how. It is probably so easy that I keep
overlooking it. Please help.

- Windows XP Support >> Winzip 10.0 QuestionI know how to zip up a group of individual files.
Is there an easy way to zip a set of files in a group of nested folders? In
other words, suppose we have top folder A which holds Subfolders B and C. B
and C each contain a set of files or other folders, etc..
Is there an easy way to have Winzip to roll up all the files continued in
all the nested folders, without having to go into each subfolder and
individually add all the files?

- Windows XP Network >> Reset the router?I'm going to network my desktop with my laptop this weekend. After I
run my Cat 5 cable I've got to insert a Netgear Router into my system. The
router was given to me by a friend who has used it in the past. I'm not sure
if it still has his settings on it so should I press the reset button to get
it back to factory settings before I connect to my system? It is a Netgear
RP614.
I'll have to download the manual from Netgear's website.

I'm having problems with my DVD-burner for it doesn't always read disks.
If I boot up and there is no disk on DVD then nothing happens but when there
is a DVD-disk inside then it works OK.
Can this phenomenon be caused of that I have more than 4 IDE devices
attached ?
If so,is there any way to fix it?
3 SATA disks,DVD-burner +2 IDE disks.
Mobo is Asus P4C800-E deluxe and I'm using RAID-1 with 2 SATA-disks.
I have another problem with UltraTX2-card and booting but that's a issue
with Promise,not Windows .
Too many hard disks...

- Windows XP >> bad shortcuts!i have a couple of shortcuts to folders which have become bad. i suspect
they are trying to be shortcuts to folders on my office machine, but the
shortcuts are on my home computer. i think the ip address of the office has
changed and now the shortcuts dont function.
anyway, however they became inoperative, they are so screwed that i cannot
even get rid of them. if i try to right-click to then pick from the
right-click menu the delete, explorer just puts up an hour-glass and locks
or the screen does a quick 'flash' and focus comes off the icon.
is it possible to find the entries in the registry perhaps and kill them
there so they will go away?
thanks.
