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...

Hi, I've recently installed Apache 1.3.34 on my Windows XP machine. Does anyone know how to CMOD
files to specific values? I've read somewhere that if you set the file to 'readable'
that is the equivalent of CHMODing it to 777...is this true? By the way, sorry if this is in the
wrong forum section. I wasn't really sure where to put this....

I just read How To Login To An Expired Windows Xp System . This gave me a nice Windows Vista
mini-tutorial. Notice!!! I'm not advertising piracy!! It's just a matter of having
the rights to access your files, and it doesn't approve that it restores the full function of
Windows Vista, and besides How To Login To An Expired Windows Vista System 1) Login until you go

Ok so for a long time I had my dual boot working great, windows and ubuntu. But 2 days ago my
windows required a wipe and clean install because of some issues, like it usually happens after 8
months. So I reinstalled windows, well, first deleted the windows partition using the windows XP
install CD. Then assigned a partition for windows (same size) and left the ubuntu and swap partition
intact. But of course, windows deletes GRUB and replace it with their boot info, so now I can't
boot ubuntu (I can't choose). How can I reinstall GRUB without having to reinstal...

Windows XP cmd tip (DOS isn’t dead... it just smells funny) Some command-line folder creation
examples: To create multiple folders at once, add them directly to the "md" command: C:\> md this
is a test To create a folder several folders deep, use: C:\> md this\is\a\test Creating a folder
with a long name requires the double-quote at the beginning: C:\> md "this is a test Bonus tip:
Windows XP supports the forward slash "/" as a folder divider. Unix/Linux users: don't let the
DOS environment get you down. Use a Unix-style CD command to change your present worki...

Remote Desktop Connection in Windows Vista What is Remote Desktop ? Remote Desktop Connections
can save time and aggravation: It's a technology already installed in Windows Vista that lets
you sit at a computer in one place and connect to another computer in a completely different
physical location away from you. For example, you can leave programs running on your computer at
work and then see them the same way you do at work when you turn on your computer at home. You can
be miles away from the work computer but be working on it as if you had never left the off...

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...

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...

If you have a dual-boot Windows/Linux system, you probably know this problem: you can access files
from your Windows installation while you are in Linux, but not the other way round. This tutorial
shows three ways how you can access your Linux partitions (with ext2 or ext3 filesystem) from within
Windows: http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-par...ns-from-windows

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'...

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...

In this post I am going to give you a tip on which multimedia players are the best. The vlc player,
is a very successful and useful programm. It will play much more video and music formats, which
others like windows media player won't. Itunes. Nearly everyone knows itunes. Its used to
upload music to your ipod, or to hear music. Well itunes is quite good because of its music store
built in. Using a sort of internet browser in it, it will show music you can download from apple.com
for cheap prices such as 1 euro or 10 for a big album. So in the end, if you have bo...

So my uncle asks me to format his computer and install windows and stuff. So I did like I do with my
PC every six months. No problems at all, everything was working. So I proceeded to install drivers,
which I had already on my flash drive, a 2GB PNY flash drive. But, for some reason, the usb drive
was not recognized by windows XP on my uncle's PC, and I tried again on another port. No luck. I
was thinking maybe all the usb ports were broken or something... but then I went to my desktop and
proceeded to connect my usb drive to burn the drivers on to a CD. And what&#...

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 personally like Windows XP, and I get a lot of complimentery softwares from my dad who is
associated with Microsoft. It's pretty sweet. I've tried Linux before and don't like it
to much but it beats Apple's operating system. What do you think?...

I have a problem with my windows media player. It plays all videos in full screen mode. The media
player does not show any menu bars etc when it starts playing video. hence I cannot reduce the size.
I have tried pressing Alt + enter looking through options like video size, zoom etc, but to no luck.
Even try uninstalling and reloading different version but in all case the problem persists. I have
used ver. 9, 10 11 (beta). All versions are giving problems. Any help is appreciated. ...

On the first of this month I benchmarked my system running on Win XP using FreshDiagnose. The Hard
Disk Benchmark showed 32 MB/s Write Speed & 40 MB/s Read Speed for my first Hard Drive & 35 MB/s by
51 MB/s for the second. Since yesterday all the operations on the first HDD (360 GB) have become
extremely slow. A ~700 MB file copy operation on the same drive which used to take less than a
minute, now requires 7-10 minutes. I tried re-fitting the SATA & power cables for the drives but
that didn't help. The other drive (80 GB) is working fine. A dying drive is out of th...

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"

How to enable User Secure Login on Windows Vista You may have worked in a business,
educational or other network that uses Windows to log in. With or without being on a domain, most
business environments "require" you to press the key combination of CTRL + ALT + DELETE prior to the
log on prompt (the username, password and domain box). This is supposed to enhance login security to
verify the authenticity of the login box (so that no other malicious software makes a similar box).
This tutorial will show you how to enable this functionality on Windows XP Home Ed...
