Legacy Operating Systems

Hi, Please help when I open "My Documents" no Explorer Navigation buttons (back, forward, up a folder, search, folders, etc) or menus (file, edit, view etc) at top of My Documents in Windows XP x64. The same if I download something and then say open folder. I find it most inconvenient for navigation. Is there any setting to make them have these controls. If I start explorer.exe it has these controls. Up until recently I had these controls on all the windows I wanted them on. I don't know if I've changed a setting to make the disappear or if it's one of the many updates that I've downloaded that has caused this. Thanks for any advice.

Hello, My OS is XP Home/SP3; The "My Pictures" folder was deleted. Please tell me how to get it back.? The recycling bin has been emptied and system restore did not bring it back. Will appreciate any help. -- George

How can I create a RamDrive? Microsoft does this whenever it is installing Windows, so hopefully everyone knows what I'm talking about. I don't need something as low level as what Microsoft uses, but I'd like to know how to create a virtual drive through Visual Studio (C++, C#, VB). Is it possible? Who cares why - can it be done?

How to I set the XP taskbar so I can drag applications onto it? ALso, hot to I get the "minimize desktop" icon to show up. I've screwed around with the properties I'm reinstalling XP for the first time in years and I used to know this stuff.

(I've been Googling but, today is not my Google day !) ....after working in Adobe Photoshop and sometimes other programs. Even after a fresh restart, then using Adobe to work on a photo or two, ...when I quit Adobe, it exits fast enough but, Desktop takes ages to refresh, i.e. 10 or 15 icons takes ages to turn from like a plain postage stamp to their proper little graphic. Any idea where I can rummage to tweak this, or is it just the norm. ? regards, Richard

IE will not open with Desktop Icon, but will when URL in my computer is open or when I use a faverite, it works.

So this computer has 12 out of 19 GB used. Now, even after defragmentation, do programs run slower simply because more of the hard disk has been used up? For that matter, in general, how much is performance slowed down for every fraction of disk used up? (Obviously a rather vague question, I guess I mean if my total space is T, and an additional x space is used, on what order does speed slow down if any?) Thanks! (In case you're wondering, I'm thinking of burning rarely-used data to blank CDs, which I have a lot of).

As a little project, a little while ago, and with lots of TLC and attention to detail, I built myself an extra AMD based PC, with all sorts of goodies in it, and it Benchmarks out, in HOTcpu Tester Pro Lite at: X6000+ Total 11413 Metamark to MHz ratio 3.79 ....compared to my "old" Intel D935 which only gets: D935 Total 7438 Metamark to MHz ratio 2.33 Now ! I want my "old" main system box unplugged, and moved about eight feet to the left, and the AMD one moved about eight feet to the right and all plugged in, of course. And of course I want all my Windows settings transferred from old to new system box, and also one of the hard-disks in my "old" bo…

Can anyone explain why some printers will spit out notification that a job was sucessfully printed and other will not? On my windows server 2003 print server, under printers & faxes>server properties>advanced tab, I have "Show informational notifications for network printers" selected It works for the most part except on a few older machines (say an IP based HP LJ 4000) Any thoughts or direction? Is it a printer I/O setting or something with Windows? Ian McCulloch Sydney, NS Canada

While watching on line movies my computer lags badly.It just started happening a couple of weeks ago.My CPU usage is only 24% and I have already tried going to my computer / properties and clicking on best performance.This did not resolve the problem. I was made aware that using a registry cleaner can be very harmful (to your computer) in the hands of an inexperienced person user (like me.) Should I run a spy ware scan? If so which one should I use?Help !!Thanks.

I have tried to reset auto updates does not work keeps going back to disabled and stopping. ( no stop , start , just stoping. will not change to allow automatic.

I'm not talking about the Windows dialog box that pops up when you put in a CD. That dialog box can be disabled by right clicking the drive icon in Windows Explorer. There is an 'auto play' tab where it can be disabled. OK. I'm not talking about that dialog box. But many CDs have an 'auto run' feature. When you put the CD in it displays it's own menu on the screen. Is there a setting somewhere that will stop the disk's auto run feature. I mean: can I make the PC do nothing ? Just like when I put in a floppy. When I put in a floppy disk the PC doesn't ask questions. It doesn't do anything with the floppy disk until I tell tell it to look at the flo…

When I copy & paste, sometimes the pasted info will include previously copied & pasted info stuck into my current paste at weird locations. I copy & past dozens of times a day and this just started happening a couple of days ago. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what did you do to correct this issue? Is it a problem with copy & paste feature in Hotmail? Thanks a lot for your advice! -- Travelers Lane
