question about bailing out of a drag-n-drop action
by Guest sobriquet- 3 replies
- 324 views
Hello. One of the things I dislike about xp (and previous versions of windows) is that sometimes it's difficult to figure out how to cancel an action. Like when you accidentally press the right mouse button somewhere, you can press escape to bail out from the menu. Now sometimes it happens people accidentally press the left mouse button on a file or folder in the explorer, they drag around with the items and they don't want to release the mouse button somewhere and actually copy or move files. My method of bailing out in that case is to find a location on the screen where I get an icon that indicates the contents can't be copied there and I release the mouse but…

BSOD because of AppInit_DLLs
by Guest Aesmade- 1 reply
- 299 views
After using the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_DLLs key to load a DLL into all processes, I now get a BSOD on startup. I've fixed this before by using the Windows XP CD to open the command prompt and delete the DLL, but I don't have the Windows CD with me right now. So, my question is, is there any other way to have Windows or even the command prompt open without loading the AppInit_DLLs? Thanks in advance.

Account Operator Cant Change/Reset Passwords?
by Guest JT- 2 replies
- 482 views
I have two users who are configured as account operators. It appears that they cannot change or reset passwords on all AD accounts. There are some accounts they get an access denied message on. I am trying to understand what would cause this. I was under the impression account operators can reset and change passwords and unlock accounts on all accounts except system and administrator accounts (domain admin, enterprise admin, etc). It appears this way when they try and reset their own account as well through ADUC.

Installing old hard drive in new computer

When I use an old IDE hard drive with pre-installed Windows XP Professional, my new computer doesn't recognize it. The computer works fine if I use an empty, formatted IDE hard drive and install Windows. The hard drive came from an older computer that had a different motherboard. Is there any way I can use the old hard drive (which has all of my programs) in the new computer? Or must I format the drive and reinstall Windows? The specs for my new computer are as follows: Motherboard: M2N-SLIDeluxe CPU: AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+ Graphics card: PNY Technologies GeForce 7300 GT Memory: Corsair 2Gbyte DDR2 Twin2X

Explorer erroneously deletes file before touching any drop-down op
by Guest theodore- 2 replies
- 333 views
Occasionally (but not always) when I right click on a file name in Explorer to get the drop-down menu, the file instantly disappears. It's not in the recycle bin, or anywhere else. This system is Windows XP Pro maintained to the latest maintenance and security levels. Currently I have to do backups before I touch any files, as there is no recoverability (that I know of).
