    - Copying Folders with No Files I'm trying to make a copy of a folder on my XP SP3 data drive by dragging it and dropping it onto a USB drive connected to the same computer. For some reason that I don't understand, when Windows Explorer encounters a folder with no files in it, it throws up an error and then stops. If I kill the folder and try again, WE throws up on the next folder with no files. Sure, there is no downside in deleting all folders with no files in them, but there are many, many folders on the drive. Please help me understand why WE would choke on copying and folder with no files and whether there is a solution for copying all of the folders (including the zero-byte ones) with Windows Explorer. (I'm aware of utilities that will copy such files and folders, but I'm hoping that there is a setting or configuration with WE that will keep me from having to add another utility.)

    - WinXP SP3 system hangs on standby or hibernate The system, a recent build, is as follows: Biostar TF7025-M2 (aka N68SA-M2T) GeForce 7025/NF630a chipset Athlon 64 X2 3600+ 2 GB DDR2 Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT WD 160GB hard drive WinXP Home v.2002 updated to SP3 Whenever I try to go into standby, I get the message "preparing to stand by ..." but the system just hangs. Changing standby in the BIOS from S1 to S3 makes no difference. I've enabled hibernation in Power Options but that doesn't work either. When I try to go into hibernation I just get "preparing to hibernate ..." and the system hangs again. Everything in the power management section of BIOS looks okay to me, the system has been doing this since it was all defaults and I don't see anything there likely to change it. So it looks like a Windows problem. I found that Microsoft has a hotfix for this problem here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952117 This replaces the ndis.sys and ndiswan.sys files with newer versions (different versions for SP2 and SP3). I downloaded and ran it, it replaced the files all right but only made things a little worse -- gave me a blue screen stop error when I tried standby in S1 mode. In S3 and S4 (hibernate) it just hung the computer as before. So I restored the original files. Can anyone help? Tag: Desktop and window Tag: 1943075

    - Adding Show Desktop Icon to Quick Launch Area. Hello everybody. One day I deleted the show desktop icon in the quick launch area by mistake. I wanted to add this button again to its original place but I could not. I could create a shortcut of it on the desktop and drag it to quick launch next to the Start button but although it seemed the same old button it opens the desktop as a seperate folder and did not show me the desktop. The only thing I want is to minimize all the open files and see my desktop with this button. I tried to open and close the show quick launch command from the preferences of task bar but it loaded the other programs i.e explorer button but not show desktop. Can anybody help me to get it back?

    - free disk capacity? Dear all, I am using XP professional, It starts to slow down. When I right click on C: properties I find: used space 21GB, free space 6GB and capacity 27GB; and I see the pie chart is almost full of blue against purple. Few months ago it wasn't like that and I haven't installed any new programs since then, also I do not feel that my few programs will take all of this amount of GBs. I tried D.Cleanup, defragmentation, and deleting temporary files by using: Start Run (dllcache, recent, prefetch, temp, %temp% and files in internet properties) and also reduced System Restore settings. I checked C:Windows and found tens (10s) of files start with $NtUninstal+number+$, I tried to check their created date and some of them are very new, I am not sure what modified mean? and know accessed. Honestly I tried and even deleted some of them. I am not sure if should delete them all. I feel the problem increases everyday (everyday I lose more space). Can you help me with any way that help me to find and determine which data (files or folders) that should be removed to free disk capacity?. Thank you in advance. -- Regards -- Regards Tag: Desktop and window Tag: 1943023

    - ACPI BIOS Errors This is the error message that I get: AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to create an illegal memory OpRegion, starting at address oxffff0000, with a length of 0x10000. This region lies in the Operating system's protected memory address range (0x100000000 - 0x130000000). This could lead to system instability. Geez, you think??? Maybe that's why those BSOD's keep happening. Backstory... Replaced Intel dual- core processor and mobo with DG31PR mobo and Core 2Duo Quad Q6700. Put 4gb RAM on the board, dual channel, nothing but probs. Running XP Pro sp3. Flashed the BIOS on the first board, no change. Second board is already at newest BIOS rev. All suggestions I see are saying it is a BIOS prob, but not according to Intel. Actually, they won't even answer my emails anymore. Can someone help? Oh, btw... I have an X-FI Fatality Gamer sound card. Works great... when it works. It gets uninstalled, or at least stops working, regularly. When you go to device manager, it has a yellow bang, but it is still listed. The only way to get it back is uninstall ALL software for it, uninstall the sound card, and then reinstall the whole mess. I have switched the PCI slots. Geforce 8600gt is PCI-E so there's only 2 PCI slots to try. I can think of 2 slots at Intel and Creative I would like to stick it in :) Tag: Desktop and window Tag: 1943015

    - system restore Hello: An end user reported something regarding the XP System Restore feature that I am surprised at. He had installed a program on his laptop. Beforehand, he created a Restore Point to use just in case the program created issues. It did. It was "messing up" some other programs of his, so he decided to use that Restore Point in order to get himself back to square one. He claims that, when he restored, it restored his laptop to the previous day rather than simply to the previous point from before installing the program. That does not sound right. I have used System Restore in the past to restore my laptop to a point from just before I installed "bad programs", and I got nothing but good results. Could he have been mistaken, or am I mistaken?

    - Audio completely dies on whole system when I arrive at certain web Ok, while listening to audio on my Windows Media player, V 11.0, my audio on the WMP AND my system is completely muted immediatly after arriving at websites such as weatherchannel.com, atlantafalcons.com, or any website that appears to be running some type of Java or extraneous video or graphics....Now, sometimes it will happen and sometimes it won't. But when it does happen, it ALWAYS occurs after I have just arrived at an "offending" site and usually just after IE has just blocked a pop-up. The audio never returns unless I restart my system...Now, sometimes the audio returns after I close IE but it is very rare...I have checked all my connections, cords, etc.....when the problem occurs, it always does so after arriving at certain websites and returns after a restart.... I am to the point that I tend to avoid sites I really want to visit because I'm afraid the audio i'm listening to will be killed and I'll need to restart..... This problem has occurred even after a few repartions of my system!! Problem did not seem to appear after any Windows updates......I'm very VERY sick of this... Please help!

    - Automatic Hibernation Ok, I have gone through this before and it is time to rehash it. I hibernate my laptop every night using Shutter.exe. http://www.den4b.com/screenshots.php?project=Shutter and it works fine. By that I mean, not only does it hibernate my laptop at the scheduled time but it also allows my scheduled wake-up tasks to run, which Rundll.exe,powrprof.dll SetSuspendState did not do. It has in its parameters one that if true will DisableWakeEvent. So ,what I need is one of you experts here to tell me exactly what to type in my Scheduled Tasks Run box when setting up the task. If you would look at this page :http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373201.aspx and show me how to write the command to add the false parameter to DisableWakeEvents. I think it would look something like this Run Box: rundll32.exe,powrprof.dll SetSuspendState and now the switches which I don't know how to do. TIA Tag: Desktop and window Tag: 1942950

    - Opening a file with two different applications. I know that I can click on a .txt file and have it open with Notepad. And to open it with something such as WordPad or JEdit, I can right click on it and either use 'Open With' or 'Send To' [after putting the respective shortcut in the 'Send To' folder. But, I was wondering if there is a way to accomplish this by doing something along the lines of selecting a key and left clicking the application [such as holding down 'Control' and double clicking the application to have an alternate application open the file], or something along those lines? If there's anything anyone could help me with, it would be appreciated. Thank you. Matt -- remove the "noSpam_" to email me. Tag: Desktop and window Tag: 1942935

    - I386 folder in the wrong location I have no idea whatsoever how it happened, or when, except that it has been at least a year, that the system folder I386 got located under a subdirectory that I created to store certain text documents. C:\Documents and Settings\Lynn&Kathy\My Documents\Cecil\Discharge 31 Dec 1959\I386 I haphazardly selected a couple of files/folders located in this specific I386 folder; WINNTUPG and FSFILTER.DLL. I did a search for them, and determined that they existed nowhere but in this subdirectory that I created in My Documents. Other folders, such as those named SYSTEM32, seem to be located many places. Where should the I386 folder that contains such files/folders as WINNTUPG and FSFILTER.DLL be located? If the OS has been working for at least a year with this I386 folder in the wrong place, should I "leave well enough alone? If I should relocate it, how should I proceed?

    - Laptops and Vista I need to purchase a new laptop computer for my college-age daughter. It appears that the new ones (HP, Sony, Dell [I know that there is a higher end in Dell that uses Vista Business] all come with various flavors of Vista. My experience is with Win2K and Win XP Pro, which I have come to know well enough to do most of the support (with help from people here). I have heard problems about Vista being a memory hog and having "problems" but I am unclear about what those problems might be. In addition, I am not sure if these newer computers would run XP Pro (which I would prefer). If someone would venture their opinion about potential problems using Vista as opposed to XP Pro or if I could be directed to info elsewhere, I would be grateful. My daughter is not a gamer; she uses her computer for standard Office programs, music storage, iTunes, etc... Thanks Ken K Tag: Desktop and window Tag: 1942912

    - SP3 file indexing ARG!! This is driving me nuts! I don't know if it's just SP3 in general or if it's this useless file indexing thing or what, but my computer runs MUCH slower, it sometimes hangs when a program is trying to read a directory, and often the thumbnails it shows are only a fraction of the regular thumbnail size and I have to click refresh to get the fill size. This is supposed to be an improvement how??? When I looked in Windows Help to see if I could shut it off, it tells me there should be a "Fast Find" or something in the control panel. Not! I did find "Indexing Options" but it only gives me options, not the ability to shut that feature down. I tried to unclick everything I could find, hoping that would do the trick, but when I tried to access a file from FrontPage, FP went into a loop taking up 99% of the CPU and I had to crash the thing to get out of the tailspin (an example of how it hangs my machine -- and I was luck I didn't have to crash the whole computer to get it to stop). This is insane. Can someone please tell me how I can get rid of this thing? Is there anything in SP3 worth keeping, or should I just try to roll it back to SP2? Is that even an option at this point??

I clicked on something and now all my desktop icons have moved to the right.
When I open a WP program in the full view, the top task bar cannot be seen.
I either have to work in a small screen view or do without the task bar. How
do I return?

When the taskbar is visible, right click on it/properties. Then choose "Keep
the taskbar on top of other windows".

Regarding your desktop icons, right-click on your desktop and choose "sort
by name" and then right-click /"automatically arrange" . This will move
everything back to the upper left.
