- Windows XP Security >> Supid question, help though!Hi, I need to know something really simple, so simple I can't find an answer
anywhere as of course everyone knows this but me! ;-) How do I "browse" to a
file or folder in the command prompt window? That is my question. I am
learning scripting, and while I am able to double click and get a dialog box
with the script in it, I am unable to open the scrip in the command prompt as
it keeps telling me "Unable to locate file". The file is right there in the
My Docements folder in a sub-folder called My Scrips. The command prompt has
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name then the curser blinks. I tried putting
My Documents at the curser point, but it returned an "invalid command" My not
recongnized as an internal command.
I know this is stupid, but somebody please tell me how to do this right?
Thanks very much,

- Windows XP >> Cannot delete item from desktopThis is a re-posting. Thanks to those who have already
offerred suggestions.
I had to access some very old DOS based Lotus 1-2-3
files - Release 2.4. I installed my old software and
wanted a shortcut to it on the desktop. Instead of
creating a shortcut, I actually moved the 123.exe file
from its folder to the desktop. When I try to delete
it, I get a message saying: "Cannot delete 123. It is
being used by another person or program. Close any
programs that might be using the file and try again."
Nothing or no one is using the file. The computer is
part of a network at home. But even when this computer is
the only one on, I still can't delete it.
I have tried the following - none of which work:
- booting in safe mode and trying to delete it
- using the add/remove programs option in Control Panel
(it's a DOS based program and doesn't install
itself into Windows and doesn't appear as a program in
Add/Remove programs).
- bringing up the Task Manager to see if there is a
version of it running. There isn't, so there is no task
to end.
- checking that I have Administrator's rights.
Anyone with any ideas?

- Windows XP Hardware >> No windows audio control... or audio for that matter !Hi all,
Wonder if anyone has come across this before:
I have an NForce chipset PC with Athlon XP. Onboard sound and lan etc.
The sound works fine with media player (wav, mp3 and videos) and games but
doesn't work with windows sound effects. Any ideas why?
The default audio device is corrupt in some way. In the control panel I'm
unable to "preview" windows sound effects and the default audio device is
blank... I can choose the Nforce device and press OK but the setting returns
to the blank state again.
I've removed the hardware from "devices" and re-applied the Nvidia drivers
off the website to no avail.
Any ideas what to do next ??

- Windows XP Setup >> ME removalMy PC originally came with Windows ME installed - drive C.
I have since split the hard disk and installed XP - drive D.
I no longer have a use for ME and I want to remove it and put XP on drive C
and, eventually, remove drive D leaving XP installed on drive C.
I have tried to install XP but I don't get the option of removing ME. The
installation program keeps selecting drive D which I don't want to change -
at least initially.
How do I replace ME with XP?

- Windows XP Support >> Is there a bootlog.txt (or equivalent) in WXP?I booted up with the F8-bootlog option, and got as a result a
'bootlog.dat' file. I assume that the bootlog.dat file is same as the
old bootlog.txt file under W98.
Anyway, I can't read it with normal programs. Is there a 'bootlog
analyzer' that I can download/use to see the content of the bootlog
file? Of course, I would like a demo/shareware/freeware copy.
Or, as an alternative, is there another way I can 'log' my boot-up and
look at such a 'log'?. You see. the boot-up is hanging up 2-3 minutes
during boot suddenly and I have no idea why.
Help?

- Windows XP Support >> Windows Genuine Advantage Kit - Report Help neededAfter buying a used computer, I've found that the copy of Windows XP Pro in
it was not a legal copy. I've gone to the site to purchase the Windows
Genuine Advantage Kit and filled out the Online Counterfeit Report. The
problem is - it doesn't allow me to put in the approximate date of purchase
in, which I don't even know. I'm at a total lost on who to contact and where
to proceed.. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

- Windows XP Support >> DOS outside of WindowsI have a Dell laptop with WIN XP with Svc Pk 2. My problem is the name
under the Documents and settings folder was pre-set when I got the machine
(I received it from a friend). Rhe folder is named JOSEPH. When I tried to
change that name, Windows said it was a system folder and may not be
changed. I really want to change that folder name. Do i have to find a way
out to DOS in order to do it?

- Windows XP Setup >> Domain profiles.I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup to post this, but this is
something I always wished I knew how to do. Scenario:
Small network of 2000/XP workstations. Domain controller is added to
network, computers are added to domain. Domain user accounts are added as
local users/administrators on workstations using "control userpasswords2"
OK, now what I *want* to do, is use an existing profile on the workstation
for when the user logs in to the domain. I've tried copying the profile to
where the computer loads the domain profile from (usually C:\Documents and
Settings\user.DOMAIN) and checking permissions, etc.. no joy...
Is there any easy way to do this? Do any proposed solutions also allow one
to copy a domain profile to a local user profile?
Thanks in advance!

Windows XP Network >> Peer to Peer network problem pinging
Hi,
i am in desperate need of help or i will go insane!
I have an XP Home host and a 98se client.
the client can ping 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.10.2 (it's own IP address)
However....the host can ping 127.0.0.1 but when i try to ping 192.168.10.1 i
get the now dreaded "reqyuest timed out".
At the same time my task bar is showing that my LAN is connected and running
at a speed of 100 Mbps.
in desperation i've bought another network card and put it in a spare slot
to se if this will fix the problem, but this just tells me that i have a
cable unplugged and refuses to work........
GRRRRRRRR

I assume that "192.168.10.1" is a typo and that you've actually pinged
"192.168.0.1" on the host.
When a computer can't ping its own IP address, the problem is probably
caused by a firewall program.
While troubleshooting, disconnect from the Internet and un-install
(don't just disable) all firewall programs. After un-installing, go
to Start | Run | Msconfig | Startup and disable any remnants of
firewalls. For example, ZoneAlarm sometimes leaves bits of itself
behind.
Don't re-install a firewall until everything is working.

Windows XP Network >> Peer to Peer network problem pinging

do this, do you think this would help? sorry if i'm slow to respond but it's

Did you use Internet Connection Sharing to set up client and host
computers? If so, it should assign 192.168.0.1 to the host and
192.168.0.x to the client. If you manually changed the addresses
assigned by ICS, all kinds of strange behavior could result. If
that's the case, disable ICS, re-enable it, configure the client to
obtain an IP address automatically, and don't change any other
settings.
If you've installed a firewall program, un-install it as I described
above while troubleshooting.
If, after trying the other things that I suggested, you think that
TCP/IP might be damaged, try these procedures:
For original Windows XP and Service Pack 1, follow the steps in the
section "How to Recover from Winsock2 corruption" as shown here:
How to determine and recover from Winsock2 corruption
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259
For Windows XP Service Pack 2, type this line at a command prompt:
netsh winsock reset catalog

- Windows XP Network >> 'Protected Object' query10-Jul-06
'Protected Object' query.
Accidentally went into "My Network Places \ Network Tasks \
View Icon for Networked UPnP devices" - via Explorer.
Popping up at top of list in right pane was
"ADSL Modem/Router IGD". Properties gave the device address as
"http://192.xxx.x.xxx/" (have x'd out the last 3 sets - in
case it's a private thing).
This revelation was fortuitous as I'd been looking for info on
accessing the Router in case a problem ever crops up here.
When dble-clicked object, got "Connect to 192.xxx.x.xxx" User
Name / Password box - for which I don't know the details as
this small home net was set up by some IT man over a year ago.
When clicked "cancel" or "OK" (among others), got message:
Protected Object. This object on the ROM PAGER SERVER is
Protected".
Question: How to access the Router without the rqrd info?
My knowledge on this is marginal at best but having read thru
and downloaded many of the excellent 'networking' solutions at
this forum over many months, in effort to pick up on the issues,
it appears that one of these days I may need to tackle
items like 'DHCP', among others - and I'd like to be ready
for it.
Appreciate any info whatever on subject.

After 3 weeks it is only at 40% and I have since ordered and received the CD

from continueing everytime I logon? I have tried clicking on the icon (both
left & right) and cannot get any pop-up menu to appear. Will the download
discontinue if I go ahead and install Windows SP2 update via the CD
