Hi! When I first set up my computer with XP I shared my computer with a partner. Now she is gone. Is there any way that I can delete her name from logging on so that when Windows starts up it goes straight into desk top without asking which one of us is logging on.

Hi, I've been reading Grandad's post and thread with intent as this is exactly the same problem I am having, I really hope someone can help as it is driving me crazy!! Many thanks in advance. I have a FS series Sony Vaio and it's out of warranty unfortunately. Model no. VGN-FS315E (with grey keyboard). One of the keys became sticky and eventually came off months ago. Whilst I was able to get away with it for a while this soon became a problem so I got through to Sony customer services and they sent me a new key in the post. It was the black key (so didn't fit with my keyboard!) but I soon realised it wasn't the key I needed really (as I've kept the one that's come off) but the plastic attachment which is in 3 pieces and attaches the plastic key to the 4 metal clips surrounding the squishy pad in the middle (sorry about lack of technical terms!) However, when I was trying to fit this fiddly thing myself I accidentally snapped off one of the tiny metal clips needed to attach the key back on. Annoyingly, the key almost fit - it went back on almost fine, but when you press down on it it isnt quite fitting properly and comes off again. Like Grandad's daughter, I too found out it seemed cheaper to buy a new laptop than get it repaired, but thought it does seem crazy, and who has that much money anyway! After reading the posts I looked for laptop keyboards on ebay that match my model and found some, like this one . However, I'm very confused now as I can't tell if buying a keyboard like this would give me the metal plate underneath as well (I think I have to buy a whole new metal plate to make the whole thing good again - as one of the clips came off?) I'd be very grateful for anyone's help on this as I am completely in the dark about what to do! I'm looking for a job at the moment and totally lost without the laptop! Thanks so much

Received this email today from one of my contacts. Attached to it were fifteen "real-life" testimonies and when, I saw the CC list, it was forwarded to at least 35 other people! I can't believe people are stupid enough to believe this. I have advised them many times but it seems that they are too ignorant to pay heed and thus fall for the trap. Imagine, how much this chain must have linked by now? Microsoft/AOL E-Mail Tracking Just hope any other passer by might benefit from the experience. Just remember the age old saying, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." This applies in the cyber world too. Anything that claims that you have won something without your active participation is a hoax and may cost you very much. Comments? -- Goku
