Ok guys. Thanks for the answer.

OK. Let me be a little more clear. My administrator folder that lives nside of the "My Documents" folder is named this: Administrator.YOUR-049EAD9998 I would like to get rid of the .YOUR-049EAD9998 part Is there a way to do this and how is it done.

I upgraded a computer from XP home to XP Pro. The administrator folder in the documents and settings folder now has the name administrator followed by a string of letters and numbers. Is there a way to rename it to get rid of them. Thanks.

Right now I have it set to "start minimized". However it would be nice just to have it in the task bar.I'll take a look at it and see if a right click on the taskbar icon will do anything. I think that I already did that and it only showed "hide" which only works for that one session. Reboot and...

I have a SMC USB wireless G network adaptor. The utility is set to open on the desktop every time you boot up. It has to run to work, but is there a way to stop it from showing on the desktop. There is no option anywhere to stop this. You can close it and it stays in the task bar on the right...

Just an update. I deinstalled the audio driver that came with the restore disc and installed a sound driver for that machine that I downloaded from the manufacturer's site. Problem solved.

Our office just got an HP Laser jet 2727nf P/S/F combo. We have it connected to the network and everything works, except the fax from computer function. The fax setup utility will tell you that the "device is disconnected, or powered off" when you are loading the software. It prints fine, scans...

A computer that I support has a wierd problem. I had to reformat and reload XP Pro because of damage from a virus. After that, any sound, windows produced, or CD played in the drive would wobble. I eventually found some unregistered DLL's and registered them. This fixed the sound wobble right...

This is probably a stupid question, but I'll give it a try. Does a device exist that will interface a computer and a copier/fax machine and make it so that it could be used as a printer through the telephone jack?

Thanks for the suggestions on Getdataback. I downloaded the trial copy and ran it. It showed that most of it was recoverable. So I registered it and got most everything recovered. A very nice piece of software. A great addition to my tool box.

A client had a system crash. Wouldn't boot up. System restore didn't work either. Client then choose recovery which put it back to day one. Question is: Are any files recoverable using recovery software, or is it all truely gone, since the partitions were deleted and restored.

I have a sata hard drive and an IDE CD Rom. The question is, do I plug the IDE CD Rom into IDE port 0 and set it for master, or slave. Or should I plug it into IDE port 1 and set it for master or slave. Does it even make a difference since Im using a SATA hard drive.

Machine running XP Pro and IE 7. Email is FirstClass. The "send page by Email" will launch FirstClass, but the "send link by Email" won't do anything. The default Email is set in FirstClass and in IE to FirstClass. The registry settings also look OK. Any ideas?

Well, thanks for the suggestion. We fixed the problem another way. We upgraded to Outlook 2003 and it now works as it should.

Having an interesting problem with outlook. If I delete an e-mail and then empty the deleted items folder, they will re-appear in the deleted item folder the next time that you open outlook. The only way to make sure that the folder gets emptied and stays emptied is to hit the send recieve...
