Windows Themes

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 was recently surfing the web when i came across an article that talked about running Mac on
Windows. I was wondering if anyone knows a program that might let me do this. If you follow this
link http://reviews.cnet.com/Make_your_PC_look_...23.html?tag=vid you will see a tutorial program
that allows you to change the appearance of your Windows XP into a Mac OS. THis is not what i am
looking for. I am looking for a program that will actually run mac on XP. Can anyone please let me
know if there is an application like that....

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 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...

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...

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?...

Hi, all illegal Windows XP users WILL NOT be able to download any updates or software from Microsoft

Does Windows XP/Vista 64 bit editions work well with 32 bit applications? How about in terms of the
processor (64 bit Dual Core) being compatible with a 32 bit Windows OS and its applications?...

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 ...

Our family computer is running Windows XP Home SP2 with all the latest updates installed and we
constantly get Blue Screens of Death. The most common is DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS in NDIS.sys
and portcls.sys. I have googled this many times and found nothing to help but I have heard the two
files are for the network card and sound card respectively. The computer has the following specs:
- Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz - Gigabyte 85661FXMP-RZ motherboard with Award v. 6.0 BIOS - NIVIDIA
GeForce FX 5200 - No idea what the network card and sound cards are but we use the net...

ATTENTION ALL READERS! WINDOWS VISTA IS AWESOME - I REPEAT - WINDOWS VISTA IS AWESOME! I think
Windows Vista is an incredibly good operating system which allows you to do so much more than XP.
The new look, design, simplicity, controls and layout are all fantastic. I've got a clock and a
calendar on the right hand side of my desktop and all my icons easier and clearer to recognise. It
takes under 5 seconds to log in and the graphics are just great. I've got Windows Vista Home
Premium and as long as I install the compatible drivers, all the software works! I'...

Okay, I am halfway to being able to add the My Videos Folder (the only of the special My folder I
really use) to the start panel. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, make
sure you have the new XP start menu not classic, then open your start menu. The right side is the
start panel, and it should have links to things like My Documents, My Music, My Computer, etc. The
only one you can't add to it (you add features to it from the properties page) is the My Videos
File. No, my method: 1) Knowing Windows as well as I do, first thing after ex...

Which version of windows is microsoft releasing after Vista?I heard that it is releasing microsoft
windows black /. Does anybody know about it?...

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...

its been a couple or more year, Microsoft haven't release a 3rd version of their service pack,
for Micorsoft's Windows XP. In the late 2007, Microsoft had announce of the release of their
Service Pack 3 for Microsoft Windows XP. Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) is currently in
development. As of January 2008, Microsoft's web site indicates a "preliminary" release date to
be in the first half of 2008.A feature set overview has been posted by Microsof and details new
features available separately as standalone updates to Windows XP, as well as features backpor...

Is it possible to downgrade a Windows Media Center Edition computer to use Windows XP instead?
Someone is having so much problems with this machine and I think it's the Operating System
causing the problem. I told her to reinstall Windows MCE, but I don't think they gave her any
Windows CDs. I think she got it burned from a recovery partition after I told her to look for one.
But that doesn't seem to work. So I'm thinking of downgrading to XP as a possible solution.
Isn't Windows MCE very similar to Windows XP, aside from the extra media features? Th...

Disclaimer from the site: QUOTE Disclaimer: I do not applaud piracy, but I do feel people
should have access to their personal files, regardless of whether Windows has expired or not. This
tutorial should not be used to bypass Windows Activation, nor does it restore full Windows
functionality, but I provide it to those who are in desperate need of accessing files that are
suddenly lost to them through the Microsoft Genuine Advantage activation system. I just
came across this interesting tutorial. By now, everyone is familiar with Windows XP's...

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.

when will microsoft release windows7? does it have any cool features or new feature? can anyone tell
me more about this ? thanks......

Recently, I have received an "Exploring Windows" email from Microsoft, which led me to an
interesting link called 100 Reasons You'll be speechless. Thought it was related to Windows
Vista, and it was. Here are some of my opinions: 1. It makes using your PC a breeze, if Windows is
responding most of the time. Also, many users have complained about User Account Control, which say
that it makes using the PC not a breeze. I haven't tried it yet, but from others' point of
view, it seems to be intrusive and annoying. 2. Your music may be a click away from your re...

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...

Lets face facts Windows is currently the most used operating system in the world. That said, let us
also admit that Windows is not the greatest OS out there either. (that would be Unix) So ignoring
completely ones opinions of Windows let's imagine we had the power to chance Windows completely
and were able to disregard previous Windows implementations (if you so choose ie the start menu) and
Microsoft marketing techniques. How would you change Windows to make it better? For me the most
fundamental change would be to make it more like Linux or OS X and have the kern...

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....

Few days before, I have used the power toys to rebuild my system icons. After that, all icons
showed on the screen only with 256 color. Prior Windows XP, Windows 2000 have an option on the
display applet that let me show all possible colors. Hmm..., Is there any way to restore the
ability ? Thanks, P.S. If I switched to another resolution. It is fine. But once back, it lower
the color to 256....

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...
