My Computer folder problems when Folders pane is displayed
by Guest KarenH- 0 replies
- 79 views
If I try to display the Folders pane from My Computer when logged in as a standard user, it closes down. If I am logged in as an administrator, the Folders pane displays, but flashes as if refreshing very frequently. The cause of the problem seems to be a folder called 'Image Folder'. As an administrator, if I click on this folder, the flashing stops. If logged in as a standard user, the 'Folders' pane is ok if the 'Image Folder' is not visible (for example, if I go in to 'My Documents', the Folders pane is ok until I expand the My Computer node). Any ideas how I can get the folders pane to display properly?

Greetings people, I'm having some problem here with my removable drive. I can no longer open it by double clicking on the icon in My Computer but instead, I'll have to open it by right clicking > Open. Each time I double click on the icon, a window will appear and ask me to select the programs to open the Removable Drive. I don't have such problem with my friend's removable drive. Could you guys please help me get around this? Thanks a lot. Cheers!

Something really weird is happening that I have never seen before after years of using XP Home/Pro. This is a brand new install of XP Pro on a completely formatted HDD that I have been using for about 2 weeks now. I've been migrating stuff from my previous XP Pro which resides on my 2nd HDD (the 1st HDD is much more capacious, hence why I'm doing this). In the Explorer window the Standard Buttons bar has gone MIA. I used to have it but it mysteriously disappeared. I can't for the life of me recall what I was doing between the time it worked and didn't work. I am able to temporalily turn it back on but it goes away again when I close and reopen a wi…

Despite having Firefox set as the default browser, when I click a web link within an email, nothing happens, i.e. the link is not launched in Firefox. The problem is not unique to just to emails in Outlook, it doesn't launch web link from any other programs. I am not sure if this is a Firefox problem, or XP problem. Any suggestion?
