Sorry, if this is OT. Kindly refer me. I looked up an address in Google (not Google Earth). Showed a real nice close-up of my house. I tried to copy the satellite map image to My Pictures. Did not work. If I send it by e-mail, it disappears. If I right-click the map, there is no provision for saving the image. Is there a special trick to it?

Just removed a virus from my son's computer. Went to restore the computer from a good clean point and I noticed that all the System Restore points are named "Virus Alert: Software Distribution service 3:00 A.M." Concerned about the "Virus Alert" part of the description. Can I safely restore; or is this telling me that there is a virus in the restore point?

What a mystery XP user accounts - credentials etc. ! On a XP Home PC that has only ever had 1 administrator a/c ....I tried making a limited account, and as soon as looging into it - there were lots of shortcuts to programs that I don't want the limited use to play around with e.g. AVG 8.0 ....and I was unable to delete it / them from the limited users desktop. How do you control / add / remove program shortcuts from the limited users desktop ? Also, IE7 reported several HP faults e.g HP web-page printing errors or something like that. I don't need to prevent the limited user from using IE7 - however, why is installed HP software / IE plugins…

There is a file, hgcheck.exe that always starts on boot and runs in the background. I have tried unchecking it in startup in msconfig but it always rechecks. I can not find anything on this file when I Google it. Does anyone know what this file is?

One of my super-security programs set something in my Registry or in an .INI file so that none of my programs have the ability to display their "Recent Files" lists from the "File" menu. The option for displaying or not displaying the list is grayed out in programs such as Word, Excel, etc. This means it's been disabled at the System level. I want to see my recently opened files in all my programs. Can anyone help?
