    Reuse window for launching shortcuts

    Large corporations have strict software standards, and v4.73 is the current standard. When right clicking the shortcut, there is not an option to open in a new window. We've been using a workaround by launching a new session of Netscape, and then click the shortcut so that it uses that new...

    Disabling IE on a PC

    I know you can disable IE (and any other application) with group policies by specifying the executable to not run, but I'm not sure where it's located. If you choose to go this route, look for a policy that states something like "Do not allow Windows applications to run." Also, I don't...

    Reuse window for launching shortcuts

    Is there a way, like Internet Explorer, to NOT reuse an existing window when launching a shortcut using Netscape 4.73? BTW - upgrading Netscape is not an option. Thanks in advance.

    Create New Folder keyboard shortcut?

    The only way I know is to write a batch file using the "make directory" command. Then create a shortcut to the batch file and assign a shortcut key. The batch file would look something like this depending on where you want the new folder located. Open Notepad and type the following...

    On Click, ask whether to Open using Access 2000 or 97

    I like Jocsta's solution. If you're not comfortable working in the registry, you can add a couple entries to the "send to" list. The result is opening the file by right clicking, go to "send to" and pick the version of Access you want. 1. Search For Files and Folders... In...

    Installing on Laptops

    I understand what you're saying however, the Dell C400 is capable of booting from CD first. Am I missing something?

    Installing on Laptops

    I hate to keep this discussion alive, but I've been wondering all along why you couldn't have used the Windows 98 CD at step 2 (after changing the boot order to CDROM first in the BIOS) instead of installing XP, copying files, formatting again, and installing 98 from HD. See the section...

    Windows Me - hkcmd.exe caused and invalid page fault...

    Try removing these two lines from this registry location: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] IgfxTray=C:\\WINNT\\System32\\igfxtray.exe HotKeysCmds=C:\\WINNT\\System32\\hkcmd.exe Then reinstall the latest driver for the video card from the Intel website. Good luck.

    Installing on Laptops

    You could first boot to the floppy and prepare the drive (fdisk, format, etc). Then shutdown, switch drives to the CD and change the BIOS to boot from CDROM. I suppose you could also burn the bootdisk files to a CD also making sure you have your computer set to boot from the CDROM in the BIOS...

    Contact Lists in Outlook

    Is there more than 1 contacts folder shown under Tools, Services, "Outlook Address Book" properties? If so, can it be deleted from there?

    Contact Lists in Outlook

    Try right-clicking the Outlook contacts folder and select properties. Click the "Outlook Address Book" tab and check the box to show this folder as an email address book. Good luck.

    Pictures in outlook e-mails

    Assuming your recipients can open messages sent in HTML format, you can do the following with Outlook 2000: 1. Change the format that your messages are sent in to HTML(if necessary). From Outlook, go to Tools, Options, Mail Format tab, and change the format to HTML. 2. Launch a new message...

    Cd-rom drives gone?

    Are both the CD drives attached to the secondary IDE controller (ie 1 master, the other slave)? Does the Device Manager show any problems or conflicts with the Secondary IDE Channel or any other hardware? Have you recently added any new hardware? Is the ribbon cable secure? Sorry, more...

    I received the attachement c:\abc

    It sounds like you need a viewer that can open .eps (Encapsulated PostScript) files. I know Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft PhotoDraw, IrfanView, probably PaintShop Pro, and many others can open .eps files. If you have one of these already installed, you may need to associate the .eps extension...
