I just created a new folder on my desk top to hold word documents. When I double click to open the folder it opens in search results mode with the search companion in far left column. Yet when I right click on the folder and select open it opens and displays the contained documents. How do I get this folder to open like all my others when I double click on it? -- jj

How to rename large numbers of XP systems
by Guest Sandy Wood- 6 replies
- 258 views
Our network has over 900 XP systems that we need to rename. We're looking for a way to script or otherwise automate the process. We need to change a single character in the computer name to remove an underscore and replace it with a dash. We believe we can vbscript a search and replace script but beyond that have only begun to look into the process. Has anyone done anything like this before without physically visiting each system? -- Sandy Wood Orange County District Attorney

Can't stop USB mass storage device
by Guest simonc- 5 replies
- 257 views
I have a portable USB drive plugged in to the computer and I want to remove it. Despite having no applications open, when I go to the Safely Remove Hardware icon and select this drive a warning box comes up saying The device 'Generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later. Can anyone suggest what background programmes might be using the USB drive and preventing it being stopped? I already tried exiting a spyware filter but it didn't help. Grateful for ideas.

Merging Partitons
by Guest ColTom2- 18 replies
- 503 views
Hi: I have a friend who has a Sony desktop running Windows Home XP SP2. He has 20GB of HD space on C:\ and 60GB on D:\ and his problem is C:\ is almost full and D:\ has practically nothing. I purchased Norton Partition Magic 8.05 in an effort to merge the D:\ drive with the C:\ drive, as this was the most recommended software. Has anyone used this to merge partitions successfully? What concerns me is that I read a posting about the prior version 8.01 with someone trying to merge partitions and they lost everything in the process. Any comments and/or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

memory card multi reader USB
by Guest toronado455- 6 replies
- 234 views
I have one of these multi card readers in a 3.5" bay and connected directly to the motherboard (ASUS P4PE) via internal USB header: http://www.opti-ups.com/UCR54IN1B.htm It shows up in Windows XP (SP2 Home) as four separate drives (F, G, H, I) even when there are no memory cards in the reader. If I insert a card into one of the four slots (SD slot) then the "drive" (H) mounts the "volume" that is the SD card. The problem is when I do a "safely remove", it removes ALL of the the "drives" and it will not see any cards that are inserted after that until the next reboot. This happens regardless of which method of "safely remove" I use - the single left click…
