    Internet Explorer 7 and duplicate tab

    Is there a setting that I have missed that allows me to open a new tab that is an identical url as the old tab? Like cloning or duplicating a tab? I looked through the shortcuts but didn't see anything that sounded like what I am looking for. IE6 had that function and you can force Firefox to...

    DSL Modem and Router

    Is there any advantage to inserting a router between the cpu and the ADSL modem to act as a hardware firewall? What I am really wondering is if the modem provided by SBC has any firewall capabilities at all? If there is an advantage to another router, can I use just a normal cable/dsl router...

    TweakUI for XP PRO

    I downloaded the TweakUI for the explorer enhancements and ran the executable. I presume the executable generates a program that allows control of explorer but I can't find where the application is stored?

    Xp Pro Firewall

    Thanks to all of you. I had forgotten about the "services" function int the administrative tools section of the control panel. I found "securty center", went to the properties settings and changed it from "auto" to "manual". Zonealarm tells me when anti-virus needs checking. Thanks again.

    Xp Pro Firewall

    My windows Firewall does show "Off" I do not see a Recomendation box. On the "On/Off" screen there are only two choices On Off. The tabs on the top are General, which is where the on/off switch. The exceptions tab and the advanced tab. Am I missing something?

    Xp Pro Firewall

    I have decided to use Zonealarm as my firewall. The Microsoft Firewall continues to stay in the Quick Launch toolbar and continues to "expand out" and say my machine isn't protected. How do I disable and remove the firewall icon from the quick launch toolbar?

    Norton Ghost

    If I remember right, I had difficulty using Ghost to clone a drive over the original USB 1.X ports. When it didn't seem to work and I was short on time, I just hooked the hard drive up to the 2 spot on the ribbon cable and cloned from there. Since both drives were hooked to the same ribbon...

    Norton Ghost

    I have been using the ghost version out of Systemworks 2003 and clone disk to disk, rather than do an image. You have to make startup diskettes to do the cloning because it starts in DOS so it copies the disk exactly. I ended up putting in a USB2.0 card from $9 from Fryes and it works very...

    Chkdsk on XP Home edition

    I realize that this forum is to be for XP-Pro;however I am wondering if there is any resolution prior to putting the recovery CD and beginning again.
