    Why does microsoft not fox it?

    Hey Guys. Some misunderstanding here. When you deselect (sorry, forgot to mention that) the tick that says "always ask before opening this type of file" it still asks you the next time you open a file of that type. It doesn't matter how many times you take that tick off, it still always...

    Explorer hangs on right click

    When you right click on a file and it hangs, it's trying to access some software that's written itself into your explorers code. Like for instance Winzip does.

    Cannot locate a Print Server on Network

    If you can't ping it, from the pc that can print to the server, then you're using the wrong DNS name. Try a ping -a 999.999.999.999 (substitue 9's with the printer servers ip address) and you'll then see the dns name. Try pinging yourself 127.0.0.1
