Quick Launch Toolbar disappears at each boot after we allowed install of SP3 Win XP Pro system. We reset it (with lost icon sequence), but it's gone on next reboot! What's wrong? -- Knowledge Spunge (knead spill-checker & SinTax checker)

A friend did who knows what with her XP and now: the taskbar hides the bottom of all windows (incl. scrollbars, etc) both in maximized and normal size mode. The taskbar is set to "always visible", "auto-hide" is off, "lock" is on. I never seen such a thing in my life, I'm totally buffled what she might have done. I have tried to set the resolution back and forth, switch locked and auto-hide, restart...nothing helps. Maybe she clicked a shortcut, but I do not see logic in taskbar hiding the bottom of windows. Anyone encountered something similar? Or is it some kind of bug?

All: I am trying to get a text dump of the following: 1.Shares along with permissions 2.NTFS permissions of all directories and files (any local disk) fyi: I've tired xcacls but I can only use it one dir at a time??? perhaps a switch that isn't listed will help transverse all dirs/files??? TIA! Fusebox

Server: TS Windows Server 2008 I set GPOs for folder redirection but when the user logs in and opens up his user folder, it shows all the folders in double. E.g., there are two "documents" folders. One has the regular folder look (it points to c:\users\%username%\documents) and the other has the green windows standard folder...and it points to the redirected folder location on the network (ie \\server\redirects\%username%\documents). I've added a "rmdir" to the login script to automatically delete the local C: drive fodlers, but it seems odd that I should have to do this. Is there a more official way to make this happen without resorting to my "dele…

I am trying to remove a programme by highlighting it and hitting "Remove" in the Add or Remove Programmes page of Settings. It fails, saying it can't find the program. I know that most of the programme's details have long since gone. Sometimes when this happens, the option to remove the listing is offered, but not always. When it's not, is there any way to remove it manually? donwb

Hi all. I have a problem with my Caps Lock key which keeps reactivating itself whenever I restart my computer. When I check the keyboards properties in the Control panel, the "Disable" option is checked, but it simply doesnt stick. I'd appreciate your 2ps.

I have successfully set up sound through my RDP session. My problem now is that the sound is skipping. I have tried a few tests with sound through IE or sound actually stored on the server HD. Both skip. When you log into the RDP (and have Windows default sound activated) the start up sound does not appear to skip. I am wondering if this is a setting that can be worked on or if it is based on the physical internet connection. I am trying this from a remote site. I haven't gone to the physical location of the server to test an RDP connection from that office. IE has always been a bit slower through RDP than on your local desktop. Is there…

A quick curiosity question... When Microsoft issues a service pack (eg SP3) does it include new drivers for devices that have appeared since the original release of Windows, back in 2001? Thanks Jon

I have a Proliant DL380 G4 with 4 72.8 GB drives in it. I added 2 more drives and expanded the array. In the HP array configuration, I have 164705 MB of unused space but don't see this in disk management. When trying to use diskpart in normal mode, I get error message the specified disk have less than 1 MB of free space available. The volume I chose has 34 GB of free space while the other volume (not chosen) has 11 GB free. How can I get diskpart to work?

How to speed up computer start up ? I have removed all desktop icons. The booting is slow because of actions taking place in the 'tray' icons on right hand bottom corner. One of the icons is for 'HP Product Update'. Other Icon says "Keep your computer uptodate", then another Icon says "safely romove hardware". They get loaded one by one with the pop up messages as each one gets loaded. Can it be eliminated thereby speeding up the computer start up ? Is there any way to speed up the computer ? What is the 'normal time' to boot up the computer ? Even after my computer gets booted, I see some action on my hard disk. -- Shrikant

I thought I was wise to get XP on my new Dell PC, since I needed little problems with program compatability from the software apps I was running on my prior SP2 XP machine. But since the new Dell XP came with SP3 it appears I am screwed . . . SP3 doesn't (appear) to work with 16 bit apps . . . I've spent 8 hours testing and reviewing all the latest MS kb articles on this topic to no avail. E.g., I use a Cpen 800C handheld scanner in my work that will not work with SP3, and they don't make these devices anymore, the current versions don't work unless hooked up to a computer, the old version has an LCD display and allows you to work in the field and then come back …

I have XP SP3. When I went to shut my computer down tonight, instead of the normal standby, turn off, restart popup, I had that, but there was a Windows security shield superimposed on the turn off icon, and a message at the bottom of the popup saying "Click Turn Off to install important updates and turn off your computer. Click here to turn off without installing updates." This scares and weirds me out. I have Windows set up to download updates automatically, but only install after I review/approve the updates. But the little yellow Updates shield isn't showing in my system tray area. I went to Windows update and the last activity was September 9, wh…

Hello there, Is there a way to reset or decrease the number of IPC$ logged under computer management, shared folders, shares on an XP machine? My goal is to reduce the number of client connections. I have an XP machine sharing some folders and although the number of incoming PCs connecting to the shares is only 5 I am already getting no more connections can be made to this machine error. I noticed the IPC$ is high under the client connections, the shared folders connections is normal. With only 5 PCs connected to shares I already have 10 or more IPC$ counting against the client connections limit. Thank you, T

OS: Win 2003 Faxboard: Diva Analog-4 (4 ports) If I receive a fax it takes almost a whole minute (58 seconds) before I can receive the next fax, the line does not pick up calls during that time. If I start a CAPI application the line is always free if no fax is being received. My configuration does not allow any outgoing faxes on that two involved lines, so this can not be a reason for this problem. Is there such a built in delay in Microsoft fax? Thank you for your time Oliver
