Can't have multiple logons
by Guest Wavey86- 1 reply
- 222 views
My PC won't allow multiple simultaneous logons. I have to logoff one user before XP will allow another to logon. If the first user tries to simply switch user, it simply won't start the other users settings at all (just flicks back onto original users screen, then back to logon screen). I keep auto updates turned on always. Can anyone help?

Hey All, Can someone tell me how I can recursively search folders in Windows Vista using Explorer? Currently, it only seems to search the currently selected folder. In that same vein, is there a way or has anyone found any third party tools which mimic the classic Explorer interface? Thanks, TC

Hi, I've got Laptops falling off the domain every 2 weeks after being imaged.. I've tried the following: - Tried removing it from the domain and joining it back but get the "network cannot be reached" message - DNS is set up correctly and new machines that have been reimaged are successfully added back in to the domain without issue - Tried reseting the secure channel password using netdom on the affected machines but this failes with a similar error of not finding the domain. - Tried clearing all local profiles no Joy - Finally tried deleting the network card and adding it back on again then it joins the domain but falls off after 2 weeks. …

Lost hover function on All Programs
by Guest news.zen.co.uk- 9 replies

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
- 407 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…
