Lost hover function on All Programs
by Guest news.zen.co.uk- 9 replies
- 348 views
Hi This is probably an easy fix...at least i hope it is. The problem is that normally as you hover over All Programs on the Start menu, it would bring up your list of programs. Mine has stopped doing that now, and requires a click. Pretty minor, but irritating. Anyone know if this is just a question of resetting a key in the registry, or something simple like that? Any help much appreciated! Ash

"All Users" folder
by Guest Mark- 8 replies
- 417 views
I have a Windows 2003 Server running AD, and about 50 Windows XP workstations. I need to copy a shortcut to the "All Users" desktop folder and do not want to have to go around to 50 computers to do this. Does someone know if this can be automated through a Group Policy or logon script? The users do NOT have admin access to their LOCAL computers so I do not think a copy command in the logon script will work. Thanks!

The icons associated with file types get scrambled or forgotten from time to time, especially when I'm using the windows search utility. An unfamiliar icon appeared this morning and I was wondering if anyone can identify it: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3174/2937899043_24f126d317_o.gif

I am going to move from Windows XP Home to XP Professional and was wondering will a straight Upgrade to XP Pro clean up the OS as much as doing a Install. I got an OEM version of XP along with the PC, but there was no install disk, just a recovery disk to reset XP back to factory settings. It has been over 3 years since I started using this OS and it has been slowing down and some things not working and takes a very along time to start up. My problem is that I don't want to reset it back to factory settings as it effects my Office Pro, so I bought a retail version of XP Professional and was wanting to know whether doing just the upgrade will clean up the OS…

ToolTips getting on my nerves.
by Guest Andy_XP_Devotee- 13 replies

Hi, again, everybody. I've spent way too much time today trying to find the answer to this question. I would REALLY appreciate somebody telling me how to do this. I want to disable/turn off the Windows ToolTips. I used to have them off, but I thought I'd give them a try again a few months ago. Some of them are very handy, but most of them are just clutter, and a good handful of them actually get in the way. So I'd like to turn them off again. But I cannot remember how! None of the Windows Help/Support/Knowledge Base info sources has had anything about this. (WHEN is Microsoft going to wise up and let Google run their Search programs! We'd all…

Windows (GDI?) Resource limit
by Guest Stew-P- 0 replies
- 183 views
Hi, I'm a developer and I often have a lot of applications open, some probably quite heavy on resources. But I have a PC I believe which should be capable. I often get into the state where I try to access a menu and it won't appear or hit a keyboard shortcut to do a search or print etc and nothing happens - that is until I realise and close a window. When this happesn it is quite annoying as I usually need everything I have running. Does anyone know where this issue is documented? There are a few in my office with the same problem so there must be many more like us out there.

Windows Can't See Ubuntu Hard Drive
by Guest ShadowTek- 8 replies
- 399 views
I have 2 SATA 250GB hard drives. The first hard drive has Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 installed on an EXT3 partition, and there is also a 5GB swap partition. The second hard drive has WindowsXP installed on an NTFS parition, and there is another FAT32 recovery partition on that drive. Windows doesn't see the drive with Ubuntu on it, in spite of the fact that I have installed a working EXT driver for Windows that I have regularly used with my EXT3 external hard drive. How can I get Windows to see the partitions on the Ubuntu drive? Also, Ubuntu can see the NTFS partition just fine, but it doesn't see the FAT32 partition. Why is that?
