A coleague of mine is trying to install additional fonts on his computer. He is able to install the fonts, but they disappear after a restart. I believe the fonts are true type and he is using Windows XP. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

The website isn't working, any other suggestions?

How do you modify the XP startup screen? I.E. new graphics, new text, different status bar.

I have Adobe Premiere 5.1 installed on a Windows XP pro box. I install periodic updates from Microsoft. Recently, I found that Adobe Premiere has been effected by something OS related. It runs fine for an administrator, but when a user tries to open a preexisting file, Premiere states that...

Thank you for your help, the problem seemed to go away once I joined my domain.

I do not see an option for Simple File Sharing in Start>Tools>Folder Options. Any other ideas?

I am fairly new to Windows XP (long time Win2k user). When I do a fresh install of Win XP (NTFS format), I'm not getting a security tab (premissions) on any folders properties. I don't have any problems when I use an OEM installation. Any ideas.

I've installed PhotoShop 7 on a Win2k machine. When a user other than a local or domain administrator tries to use it, they get the error (this file faile to execute because it is locked. use the "properties" command in windows explorer to fix). I've set the permissions to the least...

There are actually two desktop folders that cause all users see items on the desktop. One is the desktop folder for all users, that one is easy to lock down via permissions. The other folder is the desktop folder for a users particular profile. My question is how to lock this folder down...

I am setting up a Win2k lab. I don't want my users (domain users) to be able to save to the desktop. Without using mandatory roaming profiles, how can I deny this access to users who have as of yet not looged onto a praticular machine. The "Don't Save Settings on Exit" policy does...

That's a good idea, but I think it would really start to aggrevate everyone else. Thank you.

Hi. This question involves the message that is displayed when someone fails to logon onto a Win2k machine. I have lab that requires users to have special logins (don't ask why, long story). I need to be able to inform users of this automatically. I figure the best way is when they fail to...

Thanks, That did the trick. I was able to locate a program that was trying to startup but did not point to the appropriate file. I fixed the error and the window stopped opening.

I just did a fresh install of Win2k. Anytime that someone logs in, the system32 folder opens. As you may figure, I do not want this to happen. I've looked everywhere that I can think of for a scheduled task (Scheduled tasks, startup folder) and am unable to find what is causing this. Any...
