RE: "All Users" Desktop Hi there isn't a group policy that will put a shortcut in the all users folder but you can run a script to run a script at logon to place a shortcut on the users desktop. The following site provides a good example of a vb script that does the job, just replace the variables appropriately: http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=9023 -- James Yeomans, BSc, MCSE "Mark" wrote: > I have a Windows 2003 Server running AD, and about 50 Windows XP > workstations.

Defender
by Guest joseph- 2 replies

Windows Defender suddenly put an Icon near the Clock. It had an exclamation mark. It asked to upgrade, but there were no upgrades. (It seemed to happen when there was an automatic Update for Windows) I turned Defender off to see if it would go away. Now I cannot find where to turn it back on to see if the exclamation went away. looked in Ctrl Panel , Security and Firewall. Can you believe the Help Index does not have Defender listed!?

Troubleshooting chronic DDE slowness
by Guest ajkessel- 0 replies
- 192 views
I've posted a similar question here before, and seen the same question posed elsewhere, with no useful responses, so I'm trying again. Running fully patched, up to date, virus-proof and adware-proof, etc., Windows XP SP3, Office 2007. Often DDE-enabled file types open slowly. For example, if http links are set to open with DDE, it might take 5-10 seconds for the link to appear in the browser; if DDE is disabled, it opens instantly. The machine has plenty of resources: Thinkpad x61; Dual core 2.0 GHz CPU; 4 GB RAM; relative recent fresh installation; no extra services etc.. I've disabled the Network DDE service, which is the one suggestion I've seen out …

Question about Ad-Aware program
by Guest Molly in AL- 2 replies
- 256 views
After a recent problem with my computer, I think (from some informative replies) that some of my problem came from using Ad-Aware incorrectly. I thought the program automatically quarantined critical files before deleting, but that's apparently not true. Is that correct? Also, if it finds critical objects whose files begin win WIN, does that automatically mean they're system files? If I quarantine instead of delete these files, will it solve the problems they've created? Or can Ad-Aware actually clean up these files? Thanks for any information! :)

No desktop icons at all!
by Guest msliny@optonline.net- 3 replies
- 305 views
I'm trying to help a friend here. When her computer starts up, the desktop background shows, the taskbar shows and the quick launch bar shows. However, NO icons appear on the desktop at all (not even My Computer or Recycle Bin). There are no viruses or spyware present. I am not a novice, but I cannot figure this one out. This a Dell Dimension 3000, running WinXP Pro, SP3. The warranty has expired. I'm sure it must be a registry entry, but I am NOT sure which one(s). This is not a new problem, though I'm not sure when it began. She insists it was always this way. I've tried to set up a new folder and/ or shortcut and it goest though the whole process, yet …

1317 Error when trying to reinstall .Net Framework
by Guest Craig- 4 replies
- 339 views
Hi, I've posted this message in another thread, but it appears to have stumped the folks overseeing that one. So I am appealing to anyone who can help. I've been having problems with my McAfee virus protection and firewall... they don't work... OUCH. The problems have been traced to MSXML and .Net Framework. Both have ceased responding. Some real good links were given to me previously and I followed the ones I could comprehend. But they have led me to an extension of my problem which is where I'm stumped. After identifying the .NET Framework installs I had and then using a removal tool recommended by one of the links I attempted to reinstall the sam…

In a folder, R-Click: New: WordPerfect 12 Doc produces a 0-byte file
by Guest John Hupp- 3 replies
- 286 views
I'll begin by noting that this seems like a Windows problem rather than a WordPerfect problem, since a complete uninstall/reinstall of WordPerfect with Registry scrubbing and manual deletion of program file locations (in Program Files and <user profile>\Application Data) did not solve the problem. Also, I do not have the problem with Quattro Pro (another app in the WordPerfect suite). To the problem: In a folder, if I Right-Click: New: WordPerfect 12 Document, a 0-byte file is created (New WordPerfect Document.wpd). If I then try to open that file - without WordPerfect running - by double-clicking on it, I get a WordPerfect error: The …

I receive my Vonage phone messages as .wav files which worked fine and I could open until about a month ago and the problem has not gone away.

Help Re: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT
by Guest F. Lawrence Kulchar- 17 replies
- 684 views
Please help me create a keyboard shortcut for the .VBS file that I created using NOTEPAD. I have the shortcut on my desktop; the file, when I input the shortcut, such as Alt+Shift+Z, is supposed to "sign" my name whenever I type the shortcut. The problem is I cannot create the shortcut -- I right click on the desktop icon, select properties, then scroll through the window to the shortcut key line where the word "none" is written; if I click on it, "none" disappears and " + + " appears. IT SEEMS I AM UNABLE TO CREATE A SHORTCUT. CAN ANYONE HELP ME?? FLKulchar
