Thanks. I tried everything. Nothing worked. When I try to run system restore it says "System Restore has been turned off by group policy. To turn on System Restore, contact your domain Administrator." This is XP Home edition, there is no domain. But there must be a way to fix this. I...

Thanks for the help, New, linney. I have just about got things back to normal.

What is the registry key to restrict & allow system restore? I have a xp home edition dell which had a virus "ms protection" Trojan. I manually removed the virus, but all the permissions were gone. I found the registry keys to restore folder options and reg-edit, but there's very little else...

Thanks, I meant combofix. Actually there were corrupted files in the sys32/spool. Shut everything off, wiped, reconnected and restarted the spool, and all worked. The workstation shares with 2 other computers, and is adequate. SP2 is stable, I manually add updates at my discretion. I've...

We're running an xp professional service pack 2 workstation which also serves as a file and print server in the office. It also mounts local printers, one in particular , on a remote desktop to a server outside the office. The printers include a hp 4050 ps, and a thermal printer used by UPS...

Thanks for the help. I haven't had time to get back to it yet but when I do I will let you know how I made out. Ray

A few months ago I installed a copy of server 2003 enterprise x64. When I previously installed server r2 x32, I always got an option for "administrative rdp" with 2 users. I didn't get that this time. I wasn't finding it and I had to leave the location. I had to allow terminal server...

Thanks Ben & Linney, I will check the links out and let you know if they tell me what I need. Ray

How can I change the maximum expiration time for a RA ticket in Windows XP? The default limit is 30 days, but I'm sure there's a registry key somewhere for this. I have people I see two or three times a year, and it would be handy.

Server 2003 makes "system restore" folders like xp. Where is the system restore option? I recently had a server 2003 installation go bad; the "software" file in the windows/system32/config directory went bad. I copied it from the "repair" directory, but this is the one from way back when we...

F11 doesn't do it. I only want to use the Restore as a last resort. The Microsoft KB 555130 may do it. I'll get back and let you know. Thanks, Ray

What makes windows explorer (the Windows shell, not Internet explorer) lose its menus, so there's no "file, edit, view....etc"? I just see the title bar (no address bar either) and the two panes below. How do I get the menues back?

It is not a power management issue. The session is already disconnected; no, its not that the server thinks its connected, it just won't allow any logins on terminal server. Sure, I can log it off with the admin tool (which I didn't want to do, I wanted to save the session.) I still can't...

I've seen a recurring issue in using admin mode terminal server on windows 2000 server and advanced server. I will leave disconnected desktops open to reconnect to at my convenience. Very occasionally, I've had the server not let me reconnect; I get the win2k terminal server desktop login...

Thanks for the help. As usual, I feel pretty stupid. I did I did the view setting and the Advanced settings but not at the same time. Folders are straightened out now.

There are two things in Windows (I’m using XP Pro) that bug me. They may or may not be related. 1). This has to do with the “Views” (the contents) of folders. When I open a folder the contents are usually Tiles (large icons). Occasionally the contents are Icons. Rarely are the contents Details...

Thanks 1726. That did the trick.

This disappearing and reappearing at random occurs when all the pictures are on a local drive.

eyec asks: did you cut & paste the pics from the internet?" Some pictures, yes. Most pictures are on the local drive.

Using Windows XP Pro and MS Office 2003. When I insert pictures into a MS Word document the pictures disappear and reappear randomly as I scroll through the document. This is happening on two different computers at two different locations. Does anyone know how to make the pictures stay put in...
