    Shocked my computer

    Windows ME Network Auto logon

    Hmmm, I was using Tweak ui in 98 to autologin and then upgraded to windows Me. It still logs in just fine using the new operating system. Sorry I can't help you out, but I thought you might like to know that it does work.

    preventing folder creation

    Sorry, I forgot to include something. I found a registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\shell folders in which there is an entry called "My Pictures" and "My Video". Will deletion of these keys solve my problem, or cause...

    preventing folder creation

    Hi, would anybody happen to know a way to prevent windows from always creating those default folders such as "My Pictures" within My documents? This 'convience' is almost as bad as the auto-formatting in Word. Any help is greatly appreciated!
