- customize >> Can I set a login delay (tweakui)?Hello,
I have some new laptops w/XP on them using wireless
cards. THe problem is, the darn things boot so fast and
(we use tweakui) automatically log into the desktop, that
wireless communications/drivers are not yet fully loaded
with a (therefore cached) profile is loaded - causing some
of our programs to not work/launch properly.
Can I set a 3-5 second delay upon bootup before it tries
to log in?
Thanks!!!

- 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.

by default (2000 - it's enabled by default).
There seems to be no mention of how to enable in the

Is there an easy was to do this (even a consistent

- Windows XP Network >> XP takes 3 mins 10 sec to access win98Hi Group:
I have seen some great answers on this site.
I'm running XP home with SP1 and Win 98SE on a local network.
The win98 uses nwlink ipx/spx netbios to access the XP and works
always.
I've used the network wizard on both machines. I'm using a D-link Hub
and a cable internet connect. Both machines easily connect to the
internet thru the hub.
The XP has for protocol:
nwlink net bios, nwling ipx/spx net bios and tcp/ip.
When I try to read a drive on win98, the XP takes 3 mins 10 sec to
access the win98. Then everything reads and transfers normally.
Sometimes win98 stays accessible other times I have the 3 min wait
again.
The task manager says the network call not responding, cancelling the
call, machine hangs up and needs rebooting.
Thanks for all the help, sorry for being so long winded

- 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 Hardware >> HDD recognitionI installed a second HDD, but windows xp wouldn't

Thank you, Edward

- 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 >> Java Virtual Machine
Greetings --
As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft is no longer allowed to provide its own Java
Virtual Machine to Windows users. You can get almost the same
functionality by downloading Sun's version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html. If you want the broader
capabilities of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, some of which are listed
here: http://www.java-virtual-machine.net/download.html.

- 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.

- 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?

I'm having problems with my DVD-burner for it doesn't always read disks.

Can this phenomenon be caused of that I have more than 4 IDE devices

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
