- Windows XP >> cleaning up C drive and window viewsTwo questions please.
1) My C drive is loaded with files the look
like "$NTUninstallQxxxxxxx$" with the "x"s being numbers.
What are they and can they be safely deleted?
2) I like to open some windows as thumbnails, some as
icons, some as a list, etc., but quite often they revert
on the next reboot to another type of view. Is there a
way of having them remember my preferences?
Thanks.

- Windows XP >> Where Can I Buy a Zombie PC?The answer is ... pretty much anywhere. If you can purchase a PC that runs
Windoze XP, you've got the potential to have your very own Zombie PC.
"Four-fifths of spam now emanates from computers contaminated with Trojan
horse infections, according to a study by network management firm Sandvine
out this week. Trojans and worms with backdoor components such as Migmaf
and SoBig have turned infected Windows PCs into drones in vast networks of
compromised zombie PCs.
Sandvine reckons junk mails created and routed by "spam Trojans" are
clogging ISP mail servers, forcing unplanned network upgrades and stoking
antagonism between large and small ISPs."

- Windows XP Network >> Automatically Connect - WirelessI've setup a wireless network now using a new Dell Laptop with Intel Centino
with Windows XP SP2.
More often that not when I shutdown my laptop or restart it doesn't
automatically connect to the Wireless network upon startup.
I have to right click the connection and hit repair, then it works fine.
On the router I disabled broadcasting the SSID and also set it to "hide".
Also restricted access via MAC addresses & enforced WPA. I've also made sure
the "automatically connect when within range" is setup.
Anyone have any clues ?

Windows XP >> My pictures leak into desktop backgrounds
Hi Sherri,
The pictures that show up under display properties, desktop are located in
these folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Pictures
C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
Under My Computer scroll down to Shared Documents/Shared Pictures. If
Shared Pictures is listed, remove it.
TweakUI for XP: Unchecking "Lock Web Content" under Explorer to be added
to desktop disables the pictures from being listed.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
Workarounds:
Create another folder (under your user profile), remove the pictures from My
Pictures that you don't want listed under Backgrounds and in the My Pictures
folder, create a shortcut to the new folder. Or create subfolders within My
Pictures.
Add Folders to the "Save As" Dialog (Places Bar) Line 117
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Disable Default Save As to My Pictures (Line 263)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Add Folder to Start Menu to replace/re-route My Pictures (Line 2)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

- Windows XP Update >> UpdatesA short while ago, SP2 autoupdate on my wife's computer downloaded Media
Player 10 and asked if she wanted to install it.
The same day, SP2 auto-update on my computer downloaded Media Player 9
(which I already had) and asked me if I wanted to install it.
There seems to be no way either autoupdate, Windows Update or Media
player's own update search can be persuaded to find Media Player 10. I
know I can download it, but that seems to defeat the object of the
update procedures.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP >> Longdistance Fax problemsHello,
I need to figure out how to send faxes long distance using a 2 digit long
distance access code. I have an internal fax modem and can make local faxes
fine. I have to dial a 9 for an outside line then the 1 XXX - XXXX, but to
dial long distance calls, i have to enter a two digit pin after i dial the
number. I am trying to figure out how to set this up. I have tried just
adding ,XX after the number for the pin but that didn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks.

- Windows XP >> No picture from DVD in Media Player 11Ever since I downloaded Media Player 11 I have not been able to watch
DVD's. I thought it was the DirectX so I updated that. I have
installed a new decoder, updated drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled
drivers, programs and everything else I can think of to no avail. If
I try to play a newer DVD like "Troy" I get no picture and no sound
but the timer is counting up like it is playing the video.
What can I do next?

- Windows XP >> Difference Between Home Edition and Professional EditionHi
Can, I found information on what is the difference between Home Edition and Professional Edition. Since, I am setting up a Network at home with Windows 2003 server and XP Home Edition, am not sure according to MCSE curriculum I need to have XP Professional to work and practice on it. So, I am just assuming whether it is ok to work with Home edition connecting to the WIN2003 Server
Or, if I have to have professional edition then I may have to buy the software to proceed with it
thanks

- Windows XP Support >> Mousepointer makes icon in taskbar disappearAll of a sudden when I want to open a program by rightclicking the
respective icon in the taskbar the icon dispappears as soon as the
mouse pointer hits the icon. The icon is for my Kerio firewall.
Has anyone a clue what the problem could be
A second problem which bothers me refers to the taskbar itself. On my
win xp home I do not know how to line all the icons (9) back onto one
single line. While trying to solve above issue I must have changed
something and the icons now show in a block on 3 lines

- Windows XP >> Reboot loop - can't see error messageI've been working on this for hours and hours now:
XP is stuck in a reboot loop. Can't make it to login screen. Just Welcome
screen and start over. There is a brief glimpse of blue before it reboots
and although it could be the login screen, I'm pretty sure it's an error
message screen.
Can't do Safe Mode or Last Known. chdsk hasn't helped much.
I'm in the Recovery Console off the XP CD, but I'm not sure what I should be
trying to fix. Is there any way to find out what that error says? I've also
tried in the bootlog and it's not there.
Thanks for your help.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Formatting used hard driveI have Windows XP Home Edition with a 40 GB hard drive. My
old computer used Windows 98 and had one of the first
pentiums, and Windows 98 only registered 7.5 GB for a 30
GB hard drive. I installed the 30 GB drive in my new
computer and tried to format it. Windows XP would not let
me format the drive and it also registered 7.5 GB with XP.
I have removed/delete all the files from the 30 GB drive
and still XP will not let me format it. I want to be able
to format the 30 GB drive and have it display 30 GB. What
do I have to do to accomplish this? The 30 GB drive was
formated with FAT32.

- Windows XP Hardware >> XP Pro Boot up procedure cyclesI have just fitted a new MSI K8N Neo motherboard, Athlon
64 Processor and 512K DDR RAM.I'm running Win XP Pro. On
switch on it begins to boot up then just before opening
the desktop window I get the message 'Not enough Virtual
memory or paging file quota to run the specified
operation'. The system then restarts. This then
continually cycles until I switch off. I can't get into
Safe Mode because the system then freezes, I can't even
acess POST even though quick boot is disabled in the
BIOS. I've tried booting from CD-ROM (Win XP Pro) but the
same error message and restart cylce occurs.
Any ideas, anyone?
