Hi, since a while i got two problems related with images files in my Windows 2000 machine, both are
very closely related because them happen with Windows Explorer and with Internet Explorer 6. The
problems are: Windows Explorer Thumbnails Preview : The problem with this option of the View menu
is that it doesn't show any thumbnail preview of any image in my hole computer, i verify this
problem for jpg, jpeg, gif, png or bmp files, but it works fine and generate the thumbnail previews
for html files. IE Save as... dialog and JPG files extension : Every time that...

I've just reinstall my system. But I can't delete old profiles in C:\Documents and Settings

I heard it is possible to run more than one computers on the same serial of Windows. I also heard
that it can be registered and use all the functions of any legal copy of Windows. Lets say I have 4
computers in my house and don't want to pay $800 for windows on each one if I build them all
myself. I can just put same serial on all of them. But I heard this is also breaking the EULA
agreement with Microsoft which redeems this being illegal or improper use of windows. I would like
to hear your sides on this, or the whole truth behind this. If so does this mean somebody...

Hi there. Who of you has service packs and what are they good for? Does it worth the huuuuuge
download (keep in mind I have a 56k connection)? I said I wasn't going to update it but I got a
video editing program and it asks me to have Service Pack 1 installed and that made me reconsider my
choice... Thanks....

Hi, all illegal Windows XP users WILL NOT be able to download any updates or software from Microsoft
website. Automatic Updates will no longer work, because Microsoft will have to ask for your Software

This is a sad tale of a man and his machine that would not start again. The story continues with a
sorted affair between two operating systems and a battle to win the love of this man’s heart. My
problems began last weekend when I started my computer after it had been off from the previous
night. Everything went normally throughout the POST but once Windows XP started I heard the dreaded
clicking from the hard drive. After several reboots and a Spinrite diagnostic I gave up and called
the time of death around three in the afternoon. This is not all bad because I had...

Is thre a file where password information is kept in windows XP? If so what is it's name and
where is it located?...

I was upgrading some software and came across a corrupt file that halted the installation process. I
went to see what was wrong with the file, and failed to manually delete it. I tried moving
(cut&paste) it to another location, and the installation succeeded. However, the file is still on my
drive, taking up a KB of space. I know that's not a lot, but where am I supposed to put it? In a
folder created especially for all the corrupt files on my computer? /blink.gif"

I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but...

OK, I'm running Windows XP and my iPod is not detected when I plug it in. The only things that
I could guess are wrong are that I recently had a trojan, known as BackDoor-AWI and that my router
flaked out and I have no internet on the computer in question now. I'm not sure what happened,
but for some reason, McAfee is telling me that it's all screwed up on startup. So it's not
even running anymore. My computer does recognize USB keys, but will not see my iPod for some
reason. Any ideas?...

I would like my system to automatically log the user Administrator at power-up or at system reboot.
And I don't want to remove the Administrator user password. I knew how to do this with Windows
2000 : in the command prompt, type "control userpasswords" and you see the user admin pannel coming
up, you uncheck "user must provide a password", the system asks you the default user passwords and
then you don't need to give the password again at each boot. How do you perform this under
Windows XP ? I would not like to directly edit the registry settings, I would like t...

Hi, I'm tired of wasting so much time on a site when I have to reinstall Windows from scratch.
Want to speed up the process a little since I have to install Windows XP, any Service Packs, Norton
Antivirus and Microsoft AntiSpyware for the computers. I want to create images of good working
Window states, but have some questions. 1. How much faster would this be compared to reinstalling
everything manually? I will be doing this from an external hard drive. 2. What are the chances of
an image not working assuming that the image created is good? I heard that these ...

With all the different flavors of Windows, what in your opinion is the best version? Win95, Win98,
Win98SE, WinNT, Win2000, WinXP, Vista, and even remember Windows 3.1? I hear that hardcore Windows
users are in love with Win98SE for some reason? Is there any justification behind this? I mean
this is a version of Windows that is definitely not supported anymore, but is the security and
stability of this version that much better where it doesn't need support? Personally, I really
like Win2000 over any other version. It seems more secure and stable, and I'm pr...

I remember doing this before in the past with a DOS partition. It wasn't working properly, so
the office tech told me to use fdisk and delete that DOS partition. Then recreate it. To my surprise
Windows still worked after that. I always thought that fdisk would corrupt the Windows partition
somehow since it was a destructive partitioning tool. So I have always used Partition Magic instead
for my partitioning needs. If I install Linux on a separate partition and decide to get rid of it
later using fdisk, Windows will still be intact right? From my understanding now,...

the All Programs start button option, and then type 'systeminfo'. The computer w...

Does any one know where is the encryption key in Windows XP stored. In other words how can one get
encryption key. Or how to retrive the data without the encrytion key. By encrypting a file or
folder, we are converting it to a format that can't be read by other people. A file encryption
key is added to files or folders that you choose to encrypt. This key is needed to read the file.
