Outlook Express problems
by Guest Bren- 11 replies
- 628 views
Using Windows XP, SP3 recently installed but I don't think this is the cause. 1. I cannot get OE to block Spam. I've tried setting it to delete it from the server, put it in my Deleted Items folder, delete it etc. but it still turns up in my Inbox?? I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions correctly. 2. I discovered that there is is a newer version of OE (OE7). I was previously using OE6. I downloaded and installed OE7 and restarted the computer when prompted. However, when I open Outlook Express and go to Help - About Microsoft Outlook Express, I'm told that I am still using Outlook Express 6 !! What is going on?????

Command Line command for Start>Run and Regional Settings
by Guest Richhall- 2 replies
- 167 views
Hi, on some workstations we have a lock down for certain users as to what access they can have for applications. When I go with an admin to change settings it only applies to my profile, and is difficult to keep having to logoff a user and logon again. I have created a batch script to get to a command line, is there an exe command for control panel>region settings and start>run that I can run from a command line? Cheers, Rich

Hi, When I plugged the drive in "Verbatim Store n Go 1GB" after adding some files to it from another computer, as I have done many times, XP went and installed the drive as something else using different drivers! Now I have uninstalled it, rebooted, inserted the drive again and same result! It now see's it as a "USBest USB2FlashStorage USB Device". Whats going on?? How do I get it back to normal? It shows up in my computer, but when I try to open it, it says "please insert a disk in drive f:". Drive shows up as zero size. Thanks for reading, any info would be great!

Media Player 11 and CD Player Volume Control
by Guest Mark- 2 replies
- 175 views
How can I get Media Player 11 to output sound to the CD Player volume control rather than Wave volume control, especially whilst listening to CDs and Internet radio. The old Win2K CD Player can do this and it's great for separating the audio CD sound from that of Wave Windows sound effects (opening windows etc.) so that the latter don't blast out whilst listening to CDs etc. Thanks Mark

On my home PC when I startup XP, right before the desktop loads and the icons populate my computer just sits there for over a minute on a blank desktop background. There is little to no HD activity while it's sitting there. I've found that if I press ESC while it's sitting there, it continues immediately and loads windows normally. I cannot even bring up the task mgr with Ctrl+Shift+ESC while it's hanging there. I have not noticed any unusual startup programs. Any idea what could be causing this or how I can troubleshoot it?

How to Use Folder Shortcuts to Jump to Specific Folders While Savi
by Guest Inobugs- 0 replies
- 126 views
I recently needed to reinstall my operating system. It was before and is now Windows XP. I have created folder shortcuts so that when I save I can "jump" to a folder deeper within my directory structure that I use often. I had several of these shortcuts and they worked splendidly. Now that I have reinstalled Windows XP, I can jump to the desired directories using the shortcuts while exploring, but when I try to do so while saving the folder shortcuts do not appear. How can I use folder shortcuts to "jump" to specific folders within my directory structure while saving? Thanks. Dan

Moving drive to new computer - file access
by Guest Ragnar Midtskogen- 6 replies

Hi, A friend of mine had a problem with his computer, Windows could not start. When visiting his house I tried repairing Windows by using the restore CD that came with PC, but got message that some files could not be found. Gave up and suggested my friend try to move HD to another PC with Win XP, as a secondary or a slave drive. He says he did and the drive was recognized OK. The original PC had several users, and now he say he can't see any of the files for the other users. Does anyone know any reason why this should happen? As far as I know, you should be able to see all the files when using Windows Explorer, but you can not edit any files belonging to …
