I have to remove the "Read-only" option from a folder.
When I right-click on the folder and then remove the read-

- Windows XP Network >> remote computer internet access thru office's internet connectionI had configured the host computer in the office with a
dsl connection to have ICS. Its OS is windows xp
professional. I also configured it to receive incoming
connection through dial-up modem from my home laptop with
OS windows xp home edition.
The laptop can connect to the host computer, but, there
is no internet connectivity which is the very purpose in
my configuring the host to receive incoming connection -
the home laptop to have internet access through the
internet connection of the office. But, reading the Help
and Support Center of Windows XP, it say that ICS cannot
be enabled on incoming connections.
So, I asked.
1. Is there an update of windows xp so that ICS can
be enabled for remote client?
2. If this cannot be possible in windows XP, is
there other solution that can be applied? any third party
software that you can suggest?

- Windows XP Security >> window update.I access the following website:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-

Then go to start Windows Update. Microsoft scans my
system to evaluate what updates I need. Then it mentioned
only 1 critical update is needed. And I started the
installation. After completed installation, I found all
my microsoft office files attached in my emails (no
matters incoming or outgoing) have been removed. Please
help how can I get those files back.

- Windows XP Support >> Explorer.exe error whenever i right click!PC is HP Pavilion m703, 2.8Ghz Pentium4, 1Gb DDR-SDRAM 333Mhz, 120Gb HD
Whenever i right click on any icons or whenever i try to cut, paste etc the
following error appears
explorer.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x1000a9fb" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The
memory could not be written.
click ok and i lose everything bar the background for a second and then it
goes back to the start menu with all applications closed. Works perfectly
until im stupid enough to right click again.
Final thing, i might be wrong but i think this happened while installing
one of the Windows automatic updates.

Well, in the meanwhile I found some additional discussion threads and
was able to individually download and install 2 of the 3 updates.
However, the Windows Installer v.3.1 is not one of them. I have tried
booting in Safe Mode, as well, as when I first tried when booted
normally, I received a message that said Access denied (I am in
administrator mode and have administrator privileges). I received the
same message in Safe Mode.
The number is KB893803v2
Any suggestions?
Thanks

- Windows XP Security >> Group Policy ProblemRecently I let a close friend look after my house which included my computer
system. I set up enough rights for this person to install games but not to
change any files or settings that could, i thought, drastically modify my
system. I came back and found after deleting his tempory user account that my
group policy settings are missing, could this be a registry hack on my
friends account? or can this change be done remotley?
I would appreciate any help on this matter as I would like to restore some
kind of security/policy on my system.
On loading the GPedit.msc I go to security settings for my system and am
greeted with a dlg box quoting
"The group policy security settings that apply to this machine could not be
determined. The error returned when trying to retrieve these settings from
the local security policy database
(%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb)was: The parameter is incorrect"
The file is in the above said folder and am clueless at what action to take
as re installing XP is a painstaking option.
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Re: Installed Pioneer DVD R Rw, lost my DVD RomThanks Cari
You are probably correct, Do you know how I can seperate them? I have them linked on the same IDE ( ithinks that's what it is) cable as there is only one slot on the motherboard, the end of the cable is in the DVD Rom and then a second connector is in the DVD R Rw, then a smaller cable goes from the DVD Rom to the motherboard, I think for the sound. should there be another cable from the DVD RW do you think? The power connectors are on the same leads also
on boot up there is only one of them showing as the master and there is no slave
your help is much appreciated
cheers

Every time I start up my PC, the speaker setting is set to

Is there a way to prevent XP to reset this every time I

- Windows XP Support >> I accidentally renamed my CD-ROM drives...I recently purchased one of those Sandisk multicard readers, and I wanted to
name the new drive letters based on the type of card the drive accepted. In
the process, I accidentally re-named my CD-Rom drives. I think at the time,
there was media in the drive, which allowed me to do the rename. Since then,
though, with the media removed, it kept the name. Also, Disk Management
doesn't seem to give a way to rename CD-ROMS, so I am stuck. How do I get
the drive names to go back to their default?

- Windows XP Network >> XP networking problem - "could not open http://......"I have 1 PC and 2 laptops networked at home using a wireless network. All are
running XP SP2.
My files are all stored on PC and Laptop 1 can see and share these files ok.
Laptop 2 can see shared c:drive but when opening files , always get the error
"Could not open http://(PCname)/c/(filename)" and then the file opens in the
application. When trying to save back to the PC , i can't.
I can create new files on the PC c drive from my laptop, and I can open and
save non Microsoft files e.g Adobe.
I thought it might be my security settings so I temporarily turned these all
off - no joy.
I get the same error if I browse to the file in Windows explorer and use the
"open with" command as I do if I open directly in the application.
Is there a setting which needs to be changed ?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Problem with Check DiskHi
Iam using Windows XP operating system. The operating
System is updated with windows XP service pack (Feb 2004).
The problem Iam having is when I give my drive C: for
a "Check Disk operation" (ie the disk consistency
check).It starts "verifying files and folders" operation.
But when it comes at 69% of completion it shows following
error message
"Error in reading folder (null) "
and abruptly terminates the operation,continues with
starting up Windows.
Iam only using the tools that comes with the operating
system itself . My Os is loaded in Drive C.
I have also run the scandisk.exe from a Windows 98
bootable CD.Although it has found one error and fixed it
but still it doesnt practically make any difference.
Because of this persistance problem the check disk utility
get activated everytime when I start up windows.
It will be nice if someone can tell me the possible
solution.
Thanking You

- Windows XP >> Mouse Icon ProblemHello Everybody,
First, I checked out the archives but could find nothing on this particular
problem; thus, I would be grateful for any help on the following problem:
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop. I reinstalled a Kensington Wireless
Mouse with accompanying USB receiver. When I moved the receiver to another
port, the mouse icon (please excuse the lack of specific terminology) then
added the following icons < <> > (which are solid black). I have a pencil in
hand icon. Directly underneath it is this black triangle pointing right, a
black diamond, and then a black triangle pointing right. I uninstalled the
kensington drivers and the problem still remains when using the Synaptic
labtop mouse or the Toshiba wired notebook mouse. I 've gone to the Control
panel, mouse pointer tab and even the Device Manager. The mouse works fine
as far as movement, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the additional
icon that moves with the hand. Does anyone know what I might have done
wrong/accidently and how I can correct it. Bonus question: What purpose
does this attached icon serves? Again, thank you for any help you might have
