- Windows XP Security >> Repost of serious problemIf I try to open a file from within Windows Explorer by
double clicking on it the file fails to open and the error
message says that the file does not exist or the path may
have changed.
Reading the error message a little more carefully it is
breaking the file name at every space so trying to open a
file called "Year End Sales.xls" would give errors for no
file called year.xls then one saying no file called
end.xls then one saying no...sales.xls.
If you delete the spaces then it opens just fine
Any thought as this is a real pain!
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP Setup >> Disk Clean UpPrior to running Disk Cleanup, I empty my recycle bin, go to Local Settings
and clear out the History/ Temp / and Temporary Internet Files folders.
When I then run Disk Cleanup, it still listed files (over 400,000 kbs) under
'Temp Internet Files.' Is this a different cache than the one under Local
Settings? If so, where is it-- I would like to manually empty all traces...

- Windows XP Security >> Weird Security Settings Blocking IEHey everyone;
I have been setting desired restrictions on the local
Guests group of a computer in a Workgroup. For some
reason, when a User who is a meber of this group runs
Internet Explorer 6 they cannot run ActiveX, Java, or
Flash. I have made sure they have read access to the
C:\Windows\System32\Macromedia folder and their Internet
Options are allowing ActiveX and Java to run.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

- Windows XP Security >> Javascript in Content AdvisorHi,
I'm triyng to use content advisor to restrict the sites allowed for some
users.
The problem that I have is that even if a site is allowed in the content
adviser allowed sites it is blocking the javascripts.
I've found that if I know the javascript function name I can add it in the
allowed sites (it works). But I don't want to add all functions one-by-one (I
don't even know their names).
What I need is a way to allow all javascript functions running in one
allowed site (I've already add this site to the trusted sites and allowed
everything in here).
Can someone please help me with this ?
Regards,
Miguel Campos

Windows XP >> Strange user logon message
When I boot to the User logon window there is a message
next to my logon icon "20 unread messages".
This has not ever happened before (over 2 years). There
are no unread messages. I have deleted all of Deleted
Items and have five read message in the Inbox.
Windows XP is fully updated, my anti-virus likewise, my
XP firewall is enabled. I have scanned for any virus
presence. I have Office 2000 therefore Outlook 2000, both
are fully updated.
I am absolutely unable to determine what the problem is
or the cause.
Ideas/suggestions please. I may need to access the
registry to correct, any clues?

Windows XP >> Strange user logon message
If you hover over the message it will tell you the email account in a =
tip. It's probably the hotmail addin for MS Messenger telling you your =
the hotmail unread count. If you right click messenger and can choose My =
Hotmail Inbox and it works then the addin is installed.
It only does the main accout too. If you changed accounts this can =
occur.

Use TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from (if you have installed XP
SP1)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
If you have not installed SP!, the earlier version can be found at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/Tweak=
UiPowertoySetup.exe
Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP
In Its Logon - Unread Mail is a check box - uncheck to turn this
facility off

- Windows XP Support >> Oh My Boot.ini's Gone NTFSI have a two drive RAID 0 computer with two partitions and an NTFS file
system, running Windows XP Pro. I mistakenly removed the last line of my
boot.ini file (multi(0)disk ..and so on.). I was trying to remove a partially
installed Win XP OS that resulted in my having a dual-boot setup with my
original Win XP Pro and a Win XP Pro Setup listed as options.
Booting now fails as a result of the loused up boot.ini file. It is not the
results of:
A loose hard disk drive cable
A corrupt version of Windows XP
A corrupt boot sector/master boot record
A corrupt NTLDR and/or NTDETECT.COM file
A computer hard disk drive is not properly setup in BIOS.
If I boot from Win XP CD, installing the Silicon Image Raid SATA controller
drivers enroute, I can get the Microsoft Win XP Recovery Console to start. I
get a C:\ prompt and a set of commands I can use, but they can't see any
drives. So fixes, such as the one below, can't be executed:
Attrib -H -R -S C:\boot.ini
DEL C:boot.ini
BootCfg /Rebuild
Fixboot
I also can't use a MS-DOS boot floppy to access the NTFS partition to edit
or replace the boot.ini file
I imagine that I can't access a NTFS partition using an ordinary bootable
diskette. I've used various NTFS utilities on floppies and the best result
was with Active Date Recovery Software which shows me a listing of the files
in my two NTFS logical drive partitions,including the boot.ini files. I can
see the files, but I can't access them to edit or replace the boot.ini file.
Anyone have an idea for where to go now (hopefully, an idea short of
removing the two drives and hooking them up to another computer to work on
them - I don't have another computer that will accept the SATA hard drives.)
Thanks.

- Windows XP Security >> Why does the new SP2 Attachment Manager change the "Modified" date in "Blocked" downloaded files?Hi,
Before SP2, all files in a downloaded zip file kept there original
"Modified" date after extraction with the WinXP build-in zip option.
After installing SP2, I found out that the "Modified" dates of unzipped
files were changed to the current date at extraction.
After some searching, I found out that this was related to the new
Attachment Manager and the new SP2 Security option to block files from
unknown source. See also:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;883260
When I first "Unblock" the zip file, the behavior is again as it was
before SP2: the "Modified" dates are preserved.
The same thing appears to be happening with downloaded installer exe's: if
a program is installed from a "Blocked" installer, all installed files get
the current date as "Modified" date.
The further behavior of zip and installer files before and after
"Unblocking" seems to be identical as before SP2 except for this changing
date, so what is the benefit of this "Blocking" feature? Why are the dates
changed? And what exactly is being Blocked?
Thanks,

- Windows XP Setup >> Windowx Executive installing ... install appears to freezeWhen attempting to install Windows XP SP1 on a new system
(new hd) the install starts up and then after passing by
the custom driver F6 prompt stuff and the recover disk it
says windows is copying files (Windows Executive...) and
there it sits and sits and sits.
I've check my Bios settings to make sure things were ok,
I've set the bios to do the bare minimum (fail safe)
install. Each and every time I try this the same thing.
I've removed everything but the video card so there are no
PCI conflict issues, just my AGP ATI All in Wonder 128.
MB is a Abit VP6, 1 Ghz, 512 Ram, 120 Gig hd. VIA chipset.
HELP!

- Windows XP Hardware >> reformatIt looks like I have to reformat. I'm going to go ahead and put in a new
Seagate 200gb drive. I'm not sure if my Windows disk has sp1 on it or not,
so if I put the new drive in as a slave and format it while I still have
sp2, then take it out and change the jumper to master, take out my current
drive and replace it with the new Seagate will the install disk recognize
all 200gb, or will I be stuck with the 137 gb limit anyway since I'm
"starting from scratch". Whew! Thanks for any help! (hopefully the disk
has sp1!)

- Windows XP Update >> HP Memories Disc Creator?System: Win XP Pro SP2
Recently went into MS Windows updates to download new updates, I found an
update for some called " HP Memories Disc Creator ". I did a search for this
software on my hard drive but did not find anything. Is this legit? The
only HP related software on this machine that I know of are just the plain
Printer drivers for an old laser jet printer.

- Windows XP >> Two Address Books ConfusingHi:
There are 'two' e-mail address books that were created years apart, in the
past.
One of e-mail address books, that is older and has more e-mail addreses
while the newer
address book has less.
However, instead of older e-mail address that has more e-mail addresses,
newer e-mail
address book sitting at the top of Outlook Express.
I want to get 'older' e-mail address book sitting at the top of Outlook
Express,
because of abudance of e-mail addresses in it.
My question is;
How to get 'older' e-mail address book sitting at the top of Outlook
Express,
NOT 'newer' e-mail address book at the top of O.E.?
Thanks for any helps.

- Windows XP >> IME, Language Bar - IME Pad wont come upWith XP, I am using the language bar / MS-IME2002
to enter kana/kanji.
I am using notepad and Word (not office XP version) to
actually enter text. My problem is this... clicking
the "IME Pad" icon on the language bar does not bring up
the IME Pad. That means i cant enter Kanji by stroke,
character code, handwriting, etc.
I believe there is a bug fix for Japanese XP having
the "virtual keyboard" not working (which I beleive you
get the virtual keyboard by clicking on my IME Pad icon i
am talkinga bout).
Is there a bug in English XP? A Fix? The button is
there, so I think it's supposed to work ; ) I cannot
find anything about it on the MS website. The only entry
for the ms-ime2002 i could find at all was the Japanese
XP bug. And yes im sure i have ms-im2002 because that's
what the language bar says. Again, everything is working
but the IME Pad.
Thanks for any help!
