Folder Guard I want to restrict access to my folders. I am using stand alone PC with Windows XP Professional and with different users. When I right click on any folder ->Properties->Sharing, I see the option of “to make this folder and sub-folders private so that only you have access to it” with a check box of “make this folder private”. Unfortunately, this check box is greyed out and therefore not available. It also has a tick mark in it. All my folders are accessible to all the users (which I do not want). I do not want to store my folders on C Drive for better space management. Please guide. -- Shrikant

My daughter's laptop has been running a bit slow based on similar machines I have. I've noticed constant and excessive (this term is relative) disk I/O against the lsass.exe process in the task manager. I do not feel my system is infected with any virus since AVG, Avast, Norton, and Trend all report nothing. Any suggestions? WinXP Pro SP3 ~alan

Hello, I just noticed this problem when I sent a file to the Recycle Bin, and then decided that I needed it. The usual method I use is to right click the desktop and then select UNDO. Unfortunately, the UNDO command never appears in the right click context menu. Clicking on EDIT in the menu bar reveals that UNDO (CTRL+Z) is greyed out. Using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+Z produces no results. It doesn't matter if I delete a file, move a file, or rename a file the UNDO menu never appears in the right click context menu nor does the UNDO command under the EDIT menu ever become activated. It seems the UNDO option is permanently disabled. Is there a re…

When you click on a link or type in a password and a new window opens is there a way to control the size of that window. Most of the time it is small and I would make them full size. Or is that something that can not be controlled? Sammy

I just noticied that you now need to have Windows XP and/or Windows Vista to use Genuine check for downloads and this never used to be a problem. Heck, I even have Genuine check with my Windows 98 Second Edition but it is apparently no longer good enough and that goes for Windows 2000 Professional also which still gets security updates by Microsoft. I use Office XP Professional in 98 Second Edition and just manually update it because the office update tool will not work in 98 Second Edition. http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/AutomaticUpdates.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=e0175119-9a5b-44c3-b1de-9b2a9aa6cff6&Error=6&sGuid=73b74a3f-94fd-…

When I had IE 6 and I would move the cursor over an image, I would be asked if I wanted to save that image (not sure of wording). I do not notice that feature in IE 7. Is it part of IE 7 (if yes, how do I activate it), or is it not a part of IE 7? (I just donwloaded IE 7 and now I see MS is coming out with IE 8. Wow, I am just getting accustomed to IE 7 and now IE 8 in getting ready to come out.)

When I attempt to download a flolder of photos with individual photos having 6mb or greater, instead of the thumbnail showing the picture, it says, "Unable to download picture due to insufficent memory. I have 1012mb of ram, and 130gb of memory. What is the cure for this? thanks Tracy -- Tracy

I was told by someone that a retail pack of "Terminal Services Client Access Licenses For Microsoft Windows Server 2008" is able to be installed on a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server. I was doubtful, but tried installing them anyway. When doing so, I receive an "Invalid Code" error. I bet the guy a case of beer that it couldn't be done. Who gets the beer?

Do anyone know what would cause the server to reboot with the error below: Event Type: Information Event Source: USER32 Event Category: None Event ID: 1074 Date: 7/31/2008 Time: 11:14:58 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: AGI-NY15 Description: The process winlogon.exe has initiated the restart of computer AGI-NY15 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found Reason Code: 0x80020002 Shutdown Type: restart Comment: For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
