- Windows XP >> Paswording a Jump DriveIs there a simple means or perhaps a Windows or third party utility to
enable putting an overall password for accessing the files on a jump drive
which contains nmerous files? In other words, a single password which would
open the drive for normal use, but render it useless to someone who didn't
have the password.

- Windows XP Network >> file sharing and printing problemsI am using a Laptop (win XP HOME; SP2) and a PC (WIN XP HOME SP2) along with
a wireless router and PCI card for my laptop to connect to the internet.
The main problem is I cant access computers through the network. I have
disabled the firewall and enabled all the exceptions. however, that has still
not worked.
When trying to access the network, I am able to see all the computers on the
network, but it does not let me access them. I get the following message
"The PC is not accesible. You do not have permission. Access Denied"
Before SP2, I did'nt have any problems related to filesharing or network
printing.
Please help me in what I should do in such a situation. I have tried every
thing and am thinking removing SP2.
Please Help

- customize >> Help Help, Desktop Folder problemOk guys here is the deal, I generally like to keep as
much off of my C:\ drive as possible and leave it just for
the OS. My "My Documents" folder and "Desktop" Folder
were moved to my F:\ drive. Now this was for my Admin user
of Tony. Alright ...this was all working fine until..
For some reason I decide to move the "Desktop" folder
of "Administrator" and "All Users" to my F:\ drive as
well. Windows threw the standard "This folder already
exists" message but I clicked to go ahead and do it anyway.
Now every file in my "Desktop" folder has icons appearing
twice on my actual desktop. I delete 1 and they both go
away so it's like windows is showing me one icon for my
logged on user and once again for "All Users".
I only have one consolidated Desktop folder on F:\
Anybody know of way to correct this? Is there a way to
recreate a Desktop folder per user? any help would be
appreciated.

- Windows XP Security >> Can't clear search historyI am not very technically literate with regard to
computers, so please bear with me. When I double-click on
the search box of any search engine, I get an alphabetical
listing of all of the previously searched-for items. I
have attempted to perform a "Clear Forms," but it never
seems to work. I have also tried restarting after
performing the clear forms, but that also doesn't work. I
have also attempted to delete cookies, history,
and "temporary internet files" under "Internet Options."
None of this has worked. Every time I go back to a search
engine and begin typing in the search box, a list of
previously searched words/phrases keeps coming up. How do
I erase that search history?

- Windows XP Setup >> Win XP licensing questionI recently found out about the "one operating system, one
computer" policy, the fact that Msoft limits the
activation of Windows XP--purchased legally--to
installation on one & only one machine. Here's my
question: What if the machine that I install XP on today
burns out a week from now? The going price at the IT
store in my neighborhood for Win XP Pro is $300.00+tx. I
find it very difficult to believe that a company as
affluent as Microsoft would not have a policy in place
to "cut some slack" to customers who've paid the serious
bucks for their op system software and then suffer the
misfortune of having something else (e.g., mobo, cpu,
etc) going out. I'm very much looking forward to an
answer on this one.
Thanks for your time & attention to detail [:-)

- Windows XP Security >> No Computer AdministratorSomehow I lost my Computer Administrator User Account for

Administrator User Account?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> XP Pro Profile Corruption?I have a dell inspiron 8200, 512k ram, P4 2G. I have 2
user profiles on it. My main profile has recently become
very slow when trying to connect to the internet for
anything - such as using IE or retrieving email. It
takes sometimes 20 to 40 seconds for my initial
connection to the web when using IE, and ~20 sec to load
each page thereafter. If I go to my second profile -
which is a guest profile, it operates normally - 1-3
seconds to load a page, often faster.
Can a profile corrupt?
Is there a way to restore it?
Thanks

To search for a file:
@echo off
dir /s /a-d c:\Ekka*.*
For a folder:
dir /s /ad c:\Ekka*.*
For both:
dir /s c:\Ekka*.*

Pegasus thats great thanks. Can you also do this as a registry export (not
using regedit.exe)? In other words search for and then export the information.

No. To search the registry you must use regedit.exe or a
similar tool.

- Windows XP Network >> (newbie) frequent need to restart wireless routerI tried searching around newsgroupd but couldn't find a clear solution.
I have an AirLink AR315W wireless router and a max 6 PCs connect to it.
Two of these PCs use 802.11g and the rest use 802.11b on DLink and
AirLink cards. All PCs use XP's builtin wireless configuration and the
router is doesn't use any encryption.
My problem is occassionally the network simply "hangs" Plain and
simple, I can see the SSID from the client PCs but when I hit "Connect"
it just won't push through. Only solution is to restart the router.
This happens about 10+ times a day and its getting frustrating.
Any suggestions?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> How to make XP CD Format when Clean Installing??Help! My friend has a new computer, and he already kind of goofed up the
registry (after just three days, ai-curumba). So he wants to do a clean
install. He does have the XP full install disk. However, we ran into a
problem.
When we did what we thought was a clean install, it seems that the hard
drive was not formatted, so that the pre-existing mess of program folders
created by my friend still resided on the drive, and it almost seems like
the registry had the same program entries as before. So, what the heck, we
wanted to just reformat the hard drive to wipe everything clean, and then
install everything from the very beginning.
But, how do you make the XP CD forma the hard drive when doing a clean
install? (When we did the install we chose to keep the previous disk
partitions the same, and installed XP to its previous location. I'm
guessing this is the reason the XP CD didn't reformat the hard drive?? If
so, how much space should we leave for the OS partition? Total drive space
is 60Gigs.)
Thanks for the help!
