- customize >> Customize the Desktop IconOK...this one has me stumped. Anyone know how to change the icon used for
the desktop? For example, when you open my computer in the explorer view,
and the very top level icon in the folders tree view on the left says
"Desktop"....I want to change THAT icon.
I've searched through the registry and can one find one reference to the
explorer.exe with the appropriate icon group and that is the key:
HKCR\CLSID\{9E56BE61-C50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}
with a DefaultIcon value of "C:\windows\explorer.exe,-103
This, however, doesn't appear to be the correct place as I can change the
defaulticon default value to something different yet the icon will never
actually change....so I'm either overlooking something simple...or this
isn't the proper registry key that tells the system what icon to use for
desktop.
Any help greatly appreciated cause this is starting to drive me batty.

- Windows XP >> trouble with system restoreI cannot get my system restore to work. I do all the steps, the computer does all the steps & then says that my restore was unsuccesful. It will not undo my last restore. It has worked in the past & I have only 12% of space taken up by previous restores. Please help .

- Windows XP >> Windows Xp shut down-Blaster maybeWindows is shuting down about a minute after it starts up
so now I am running my computer in safe mode. I have ran
the balster virus tool from symantec and it says that I
don't have the blaster virus. So what else could cause my
computer to shutdown and turn off suddenly after a minute
or less after starup. I am running the blaster tool again
to see if it finds something this time. Also, I have run
an online virus check and it said that my computer is
virus free.

- Windows XP Hardware >> cd/dvd drive claims "insert disk" and there is disk inside, no hwI get "insert disk" message when accessing dvd drive from explorer (there is
disk inside). From cmd.exe I get "invalid function" when trying to access dvd
drive.
There is no hardware failure and the disk is ok. Other tools (like ultra
iso) can read de cd.
If i install daemon tools or alcohol virtual drives, i get de same message
when trying to access these new virtual drives.
I tried to remove the dvd from the device manager and the same message
remains.
I tried Microsoft Autoplay repair wizard.
I search the upperfilter and lowerfilter keys in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and they are not there.
I will appreciate any help.

the wires. I will not use the wireless because I'm saving
that for the future. Have three PCs and a playstation. Is
there anything I need for this setup. Not sure how the

- Windows XP Setup >> Installing Windows XPI was having a problem with my Windows XP. I asked several people I knew, and
most of them told me to format my hard drive and reinstall Windows.
So I formatted my PC ( full format), and began to reinstall Windows XP Home
Edition on my hard drive. It starts to install, begins "INSTALLING DEVICES"
and about half way through that ( it says there is 34 min. remaining to
install), it freezes up. The little boxes in the bottom right hand corner
just stop moving too, and my pc is making the usual noises it makes when
"working". You can tell it just stops. I reset the pc, and it keeps doing the
same thing everytime.
Any Ideas.
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Panda AntivirusI'm having problems with Panda Antivirus in Windows XP.
The anti virus program seems to be running fine, but
whenever I try and open the user interface it just dies
(just the user interface not the antivirus).
I do not believe this is caused by a virus, as we have
independent servers virus scanning in- and outgoing
traffic and network drives.

Open My Pictures or any other folder with images. Right
click on the image and you will see the option to resize
images.
You can do one or more at a time.

Windows XP >> Powertoy Resizer
Have you looked in add/remove software to see if it is shown
as being installed? If it is, why not remove it and then
re-install.
It works just fine on my computer, it does show in
add/remove but not on the start menu.

If you select a picture file, or files, and right click, there will be a
'Resize Pictures' on the popup menu

Thanks Alex but as said in my original post it does not appear when I right
click. I've started my computer in safe mode and still the program is not
there so I'm beginning to think it isn't loaded properly but install shield
tells me it's already loaded if I try to load it a second time. Definitely
puzzled.

Safe mode only loads the minimum files needed to run
Windows, you need to be in normal boot mode and you need to
install the application as an administrator.

- Windows XP Support >> Domain and WorkgroupI have a laptop that is configured for my office domain.
I also have a home network that has a workgroup.
I would really like to be able to access the storage on other computers from
my laptop, but can't figure out how to do that without disabling the domain.
If it matters, the computer I most want to access is Vista, not XP. But the
laptop is XP pro.
I can ping the computers from each other while on my home wireless network.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Network >> Network cable unplugged, but it's NOT!!!! Broadcom 440x NICThanks for looking and for any help you might be able to provide.
My laptop says that a cable is unplugged, but I've tried 3 different cables
that all work fine on another machine. This is a Broadcom 440x integrated
10/100 NIC and I have the suite that I can test the card. It passes all the
tests!
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and the card. Nothing, still
says the cable is unplugged.
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be??

- Windows XP >> Missing task barI am operating with Windows XP pro and currently I'm missing my task bar.
Not sure what I changed to make it go away but it's no longer on the bottom
of the screen. I cannot grab it to bring it up, it just plain isn't there.
Any ideas on how to get it back would be appreciated.
Thank you,

- Windows XP >> Disappearing "Documents and Settings" directory - HELP! HELP! HELPWhile preparing to send my wife's Dell D510 in for repairs (Blue Screen of
Death for a bad video chip), I was starting to back up her data to a CD ROM
drive. I was doing this inside of WinExp and was simply grabbing all of the
sub-directories under "Documents and Settings" and moving them to the D:
drive icon, prior to issuing the "burn CD" command.
The copy process got hung up, and I attempted to cancel it. Just then (sure
enough!), I got the BSoD and had to power down the laptop.
When I powered back up and logged back in (we have three users), my screen
showed only the icons for IE and Recycle! When I pulled up the Start Menu,
the "All Programs" selection shows "(empty)". When I try to access the
different document files (my login has Admin status), they are all empty!
I used the "Run" option and opened up Explorer. It showed no "Documents and
Settings" directory on the C drive, but it did show the three logon Document
Folders and the Shared Documents Folder as standalone icons. However, each
of those folders are empty! The D: drive cache shows only the "All Users"
and "Administrator" directories.
I have tried the http://www.tweakxp.com/article36827.aspx trick to no avail.
Of course, in the midst of all of this frantic keyboarding, I get the BSoD
popping up fairly often, necessitating a cold reboot.
Can some please tell me how to save my wife's files (and therefore my skin!)?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Setup >> Timer for XP loggon?Hello. Is there any way limit the amount of time a user
can be logged on when using multiple loggons on a Windows
XP Home computer?
I have four sons and I'd like to give each their own
loggon on my Window XP computer. To exercise a bit of
parental control, I'd like to limit the amount of time
each spends on the compter per day. My vision is that each
could loggon with their own loggon (that's the easy part)
and then the computer would start a timer that runs in the
background that would warn them as their time draws to a
close and then log them off at the expiration if they
don't logoff voluntarily.
Is something like that even possible with with Windows XP
or will I have to install third party software. If so,
does anyone have a suggestion about whre I could find such
a program?
Thanks.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Detecting video cardHello everyone,
I'm borrowing a computer my friend built and I don't know
what kind of video card he used. It's a Celeron 1.7GHz
w/376 MB RAM. The Device Manager has a question mark
next to "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" and the
computer is incredibly sluggish for the processor and
bus. Is there a program that can detect what type of card
I'm using so I can go get a driver for it? I don't know
much about the Windows OS because I'm used to the MacOS
so I'm a bit lost.
Thanks in advance
