Most registered files types display generic icons on my Desktop (shortcuts are OK, but not actual files such as PDF's and XLS files), Start and Programs menu, dialog boxes (including Folder Options>File Types) and the Explorer window. I've read many posts about this problem and tried many possible solutions, including the Repair function of Tweak UI, changing icon size, color settings and recreating the IconCache.db file. None of them has worked for me. Any more ideas?

Yesterday night, my house RCD tripped while I'm uploading file to internet. After recovered PC power, I found that my SATA HDD disappeared from windows HDD list - other 2 IDE HDD, FDD, DVD drives & movable drive remained. I opened device manager, selected drives icon and right clicked on it then forced it to scan for hardware change. Device manager didn't found the SATA drive. However, every time I rebooted the PC, BIOS reported existence of the SATA HDD. I tried connect that SATA HDD to SATA0 then 1 (my gigabyte motherboard had 2 available SATA ports) of my motherboard. Each time BIOS could found the HDD drive. Was my SATA dead ? If no, how could I make…

Is there any way to set all directories under a certain parent directory to default to thumbnail view, without going through each folder individually and changing its setting, and also without changing the default view for *all* folders everywhere? In other words, I want to recursively set default view properties starting at one parent directory.

Could anyone give me any suggestions? Disk 1 for OS - 40 GB size Disk 3 for Data - 250 GB size If I have done format and partition for Disk 3 and copy all files into it, and now I need to re-install XP in Disk 1, without updating the SP2, what does it happen for Disk 3? Can I still find all data under Disk 3? but at this moment without updating SP2 and the maximum size of HDD is under 128 GB, will part of data be missing until upgrading with SP2? On the other hands, I split HDD into 2 parts, [H: drive 120 GB] & [i: drive 120 GB] and run the format process under NTFS format for both drives at the same time, so far, it already takes more tha…

I'm admin on a single domain with 100 XP clients and I've been getting a new error when trying to run windows update on individual clients. One year I had used WSUS for 2 months, but it failed on me and I haven't wanted to try it again. So I run updates manually on individual PCs. anyhow the error occurs like this: I attempt to run windows update: I get to the Keep your computer up to date, Check to see if you need updates for Windows, your hardware or your devices. I click custom. 1st message I get is 0x8DDD0018 The site cannot continue because one or more of these Windows services is not running: • Automatic Updates (allows the site to find, …

My new eMachines pc (2G RAM) has XP MCE. I am trying to install Vista Home Premium from an Express Upgrade disk acquired on a special Vista upgrade program from eMachines/Gateway. I wish to do a clean install, which requires formatting the hard drive. The preparation instructions say this: "because the hidden area on your hard drive used for Windows XP recovery uses storage space, we recommend that you re-partition and format the entire drive (including the hidden recovery partition) before installing Vista." So I tried to format the C: drive partition prior to running the Vista installation disk, but it cannot be formatted because it contains some Wind…

Hello all, Is it possible to change a computer's SID without restarting? More specifically... What I'm trying to do is this. I'm trying to come up with a way to do a bare metal restore on Windows. I've written a program that saves the all of the file metadata (attribs, sacls, dacls, mod time, etc) for all the files in the filesystem to a single file which is backed up to another computer. Basically this is like running SetACL or FileACL recursively and telling it to dump all the information to a file and then copying this file elsewhere. The problem I'm having is on restoration. I'm booting up a BartPE boot disk, copying the files back and then applyin…

My taskbar was double-sized, so I unchecked Quick Launch. When I did this, the vertical arrows disappeared. How do I get them back? I am using Windows XP.

I use to be able to connect using an XP desktop with no problem to our servers using an RDP connection. Now, running VISTA Ultimate, I can connect but do not see all of the items I need. For example, I can see the routing groups on exchange but cannot alter users. I know this is related to admin privileges, but I am running RDP with admin rights with no luck. I occasionally get a log error that states I am either (1) using a version earlier than VISTA (which I am...using server 2003), or (2) using RDP layer. Any ideas how to fix this?
