Here is a website that explains very well how to change the product key. I've used this procedure before and it worked great. http://labmice.techtarget.com/windowsxp/articles/changeID.htm Hope this helps

If the pop up windows appear to be XP windows, then some websites use code to activate the messenger service built into XP. Messenger service is usually used by the network admin to send messages between clients on the network. By default it is enabled. Under services, goto the messenger service...

Hi everyone, I need to move a bunch of folders on my win2000 server but i want to maintain all of the existing shares. I can recreate the directory tree and maintain the file/folder permissions with no problem, using robocopy, but is their a way to maintain the shares as well? I'm trying to move...

Hi, I believe you can also disable password caching, then the PWL files will not be saved. I believe you do this in your system policy. This should work. I was having a security issue with users cracking the PWL files with a password cracking program, therefore i enforced frequent password...

Thanks guys, I will have to try Volume Manager (Server Magic). I figured i would have to break the mirror, just wasn't sure how the software handled it when resizing the partition. Thanks

Hi, I need to increase the size of the system partition on our NT server. The partion is mirrored. I was thinking about using Partition Magic, anyone know a way of doing this other than partion magic? Also, do i have to break the mirror inorder to increase the partition? Thanks

Yes i did install the powertoys and your right, the only thing i wanted was "tweakui" and the "send to any folder". Thanks for the links, i will definitely remove the powertoys and install just the components i want. Thanks Reghakr

Found the problem, I didn't realize that tweakui had placed a link in my startup folder called autoplay extender. I'm not sure what this application does but the link was not working, i deleted it and the error message stopped. Dooh! I should have checked the obvious first. I checked the...

Hi everyone, I just installed a new harddrive and re-installed win98 version 4.10.1998, everything was working great until i installed windows service pack and all of my icons were screwed up. So i installed tweakui and repaired the icons, but during the install of tweakui, i got an error...

Hi, I had the same problem. To fix it, create a text file in notepad and copy and paste the following code to the file. Save the file as imagefix.txt . Close file, then rename file to imagefix.reg double click the file, you will be prompted to add the info to your registry, click yes...

Hi, If your clients are win9x then your policy file should be named config.pol and saved in the <ntroot>\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts folder.(If you use a BDC make sure you replicated the file on that server as well. If your policy is based on groups then support for group policies must be...

Hi, A safe way to edit this list is to download and install Tweak UI. It will place an icon in your control panel, when you run the applet, there is a &quot;NEW&quot; tab that allows you to simply check or uncheck any of the file types listed in the new menu. It will also allow you to make a...

Run regedit Goto HKey_Local_Machine>software>microsoft>windows>CurrentVersion Click on the current version folder and the &quot;product key&quot; will appear on the right. Remember, you are opening the registry, careful not to change or delete anything by mistake. Hope this helps.

If you're sure this is not a file that is needed, then press [ctrl]+[alt]+[del] and end task everything except systray and explorer (repeat this as many times as needed to end the unwanted tasks). Once you have all of the background applications ended, try deleting the file. It sounds like the...

Try running programs > netscape communicator> utilities > User Profile Manager and then remove the old profiles you created, create your new profile again using this utility instead of launching the program and having the wizard start. Hopefully after this you should be able to choose your...

Tried it and it worked! Still can't preview gif files but i can view jpg files which is mainly what i wanted. Not to concerned about the gifs not working. I have a gif animation program registered to open gif files, this may have something to do with it. Thanks RickSpr.

Hey everyone, When viewing a folder as a web page, i can no longer click on a JPG or GIF and have the image preview in the left column. I can preview BMPs and HTM but not JPG or GIF. It just stopped working and I haven't been able to get it back. I've tried removing the file association and...

The computer doesn't lose time, it gains time. If i turn off my computer it retains the time and the date, however it jumps ahead while i'm using the computer. Some times a few hours, then a little later it jumps back an hour or so. I checked my regional setting and United states (english)...

The computer is not on a network, I will try the DOS test and see what happens. However, I changed the time zone on my computer (the wrong time zone for me...) its been 24 hrs and so far the time has not lost or gained. Weird. I wonder could it be my win98 has become corrupt? Thanks rfeenie...

Another thought, make sure your bios is detecting the drive correctly. Older bios version may not be able to detect a 20 GB drive. If this is the case you may need to update your bios. As well, you can still run fdisk without actually partitioning your drive. If it shows that you are not...
