You're an absolute star. It's all back as it should be. Thank you.

I had a spyware infection a while ago which I managed to clean up. It did however leave me with a problem that i completely forgot about till now. When I click View -> Toolbars in either Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer all of the options are grayed out except for Customize. I have tried...

I was attempting to download a demo of Adobe premiere using flashget and for some reason the download started then immediately failed or finished. I have been left with a file on my computer with an exe extention (Flashget uses.jc untill the download finishes) but it is only 4.35KB and refuses...

I want to use Dreamweaver to create an ASP website but am unable to get a testing server. I used to use Win98 with PWS as the server, however i am now on WinXP Home which does not support the PWS or IIS servers. Can anyone suggest a testing server (Preferably a free one) that I can use to test...

I tried going through the steps in the last link but cannot get past step 3 On the File menu, click Properties. Click the Security tab to view the current permissions For some reason there is no Security tab to be seen, should it be up at the top along with the General, Tools, Hardware etc.. tabs?

Do I restart after running the cmd file?

Sounds complicated, but I will give it a shot, thanks.

Is it possible to be logged into Win XP as administrator but still have only limited ability to do things? I ask because I am unable to do several things that I used to be able to do. I have only one user account on the PC and it is as admin (I believe it has to be when there is only one account...

I am unable to start or stop services. I am logged in to the computer admin account but when right clicking a service all of the start / stop options are greyed out. I can double click to choose automatic, manual or disable but thats it. I just bought a copy of Diskeeper and cannot install it as...

Sorry. It is WinXp home. The computer was shop bought 3 months ago and to power it off at the switch requires that I hold the button for 10 seconds. I have scanned for trojans as I know they can power off a PC, plus I did a spy/adware check just to be sure, but no luck.

I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope this is ok. I usually leave the PC on over night because I normally have a download going. This morning the PC was off, but pressing the power button would not turn it back on. Oddly the keyboard light was still on, even though it is powered by the pc...

Does anyone know how to extract attachments from outlook express *.dbx files, and maybe the emails too? I am trying to make a program to back them up. I know such programs already exist but I would like to try to make my own. What i hope to achieve is to extract the attachments and save them to...

At the advice of someone else i turned restore points off. But thanks for the help. Bcastner, I don't know what the hell the thing you put means, but it worked. Thanks a lot to you both.

My computer was recently infected with a trojan. I found and deleted the trojan but it has caused an odd side effect. My windows folder is now hidden. I know how to make them visible, and what to click to unhide them. My problem is that if i use the show hidden folders and files option, then...

There is no window. The process is an invisible app. It doesn't show up in the applications tab when you do ctrl + alt + delete, only in the processes tab, that is why I need direct access to the running process and the ability to shut it down. I know it can be done manually but I want to do it...
