I've been searching for a way to add contacts automatically to Outlook 2003 from an incoming e-mail. I came across http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/autoaddrecip.htm and added the first set of code to the ThisOutlookSession module. As far as I understand, if I reply to an e-mail and the...

I am the only user of a laptop with XP Pro SP2 which is fully patched. I have Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 which I installed as a user with Admin rights. I use the computer on a "day to day" basis as a user with Limited rights and the Admin rights only when I have to for maintenance (Windows...

I use Access 2003 and have come across a formatting problem in a report. I have fields [Country] and [Population]. I created new fields [=Sum([Population])] and [=Count([Population})] which I named SumPopulation and CountPopulation. For each country, I want to have the report print: The...

Sorry to have such a mundane question - but I'm thoroughly confused! I'm doing A+ at present and we've been shown an enormous table, comparing processors from as far back as 8088 to present day. There are columns for various bus widths, voltages, nm technology etc. I asked the tutor what...

I have an experimental set up with Windows 2000 Pro and am using it to learn more about the boot process and various repair options. I renamed NTDETECT.COM to NTDETECT.BAK and rebooted. As expected, it failed to boot, indicating that the problem was with NTDETECT. I managed to correct the...

I'd like opinions regarding a theoretical question that I raised during a hardware class. I have a HD which I partition into 3 primary partitions (1, 2 and 3) and an extended partition which I subdivide into four logical partitions. I install Windows 98 onto partition 1, Windows 2000 onto...

I have XP Pro SP2 behind a router. It is fully updated (Windows)and up to date with AV. I have Spybot S & D as well as Windows Defender. The Defender, AV and Spybot scans are all clean. I have used AwAware for ages but, several months ago it showed me a BSOD transiently when I tried to...

I have a laptop which came with XP Pro and it was also supplied with a recovery disk. On the under side of the laptop, there's a Microsoft label with the Product Key. Even though this doesn't specify "OEM", I assume that it is (is that correct?). I wanted to get rid of the...

Hi everyone I have very little experience of programming and have decided to learn C++. I downloaded Dev-C++ and, whilst I can compile simple code such as "Hello World!", I've had no joy in getting it to debug and step through the code. I don't need to do this for such simple code, but I will...

Hi everyone I have two laptops, each with XP Pro and they came with recovery discs which will take the laptops back to the "out of the box" state. I purchased an XP Pro OEM and installed it onto one of the laptops. I used the activation code which came with the CD. I'd like to install XP Pro...

Hi everyone I'm trying to connect to my router when using a live CD (Knoppix). I've disabled broadcast of the SSID, enabled WPA and also set MAC address filtering for security. The wireless hardware in the laptop is Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG. I've been into the Linux console and tried...

Hi everyone I have two laptops, each running XP Pro SP2 and there's a manufacturer's recovery disc which will install their own version of the OS (different manufacturers). I decided to ditch one of these so I purchased and installed a standard XP Pro SP2 OEM disc because I wanted access to...

Hi everyone I have XP Pro SP2, along with IE6. I have http://uk.msn.com/ as my usual homepage (when logged on with Limited rights) but I noticed that the format changed a few days ago. I hadn't installed anything, done any registry tweaks etc. The address bar still reads http://uk.msn.com/...

Hi everyone I use XP Pro SP2 and am aware that there are both regedit.exe and regedt32.exe are available to me. I've seen several post and articles which mention registry tweaks and some say use the first editor whilst others say use the second. The obvious question is "What's the...

Hi everyone I overheard a conversation between some folks who were speaking very loudly so several people around could also hear. They mentioned creating a list of the files on a PC (via Start>CMD>dir /s/a > C:\WindowsList.txt) and then rebooting with something like BartsPE before doing the a...

Hi everyone The situation is a stand alone PC connected to ADSL via a router. The OS is XP Pro SP2. I'd like to disable access to the command screen. I know that I can remove <Run> from the Start Menu and set permissions on cmd.exe, but what if someone brings their own copy of cmd.exe via...

Hi everyone I have XP Pro SP2 with IE6. There's The Administrator plus two other accounts, one with Administrative privileges and another with Limited privileges. It's known that MS have some superhidden files and folders that monitor internet activity and it's difficult to get rid of them...

Hi Everyone This should get the grey cells working as it relates to a problem with Windows 98SE linking to XP Pro via a cross over cable. I apologise for the length of the post, but I know it's important to give full details, so someone doesn't go down the wrong path when trying to resolve my...

Hi everyone I have XP Pro SP2, along with ADSL>Router>wireless or wired connection. I thought that I had disabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP for the ethernet and wireless connections. I ran netstat -an and was surprised to see port 445 mentioned. It was under Local Address and it reads "0.0.0.0:445...

Hi everyone I'm happy with my home setup - ADSL>Router>Wired and Wireless provision to PCs, and am considering setting up a hotspot for a friend who runs a bar/coffee shop. He wants to allow this (for a fee) for visitors whilst they are in the bar. I know that large organisations such as...
