    - System Tray Icons Hi, This may be the wrong group for this but its puzzling to say the least. I am trying to change an icon for an application which when running minimises itself to the system tray. The current icon is your standard 8bit 256 Colour ico file. I have duplicated this and everything looks fine, until windows actually loads it in the system tray. The icon looks all distorted and looks like you can see the individual pixcels. Windows is set to show 32bit colour. None of the other icons are affected. The caption button is set to 18 Any help would be appreciated as this is driving me mad and i can't let something like this beat me. Thanks Tag: How to lock down on users change desktops Tag: 154661

    - F Drive Settings/Folder Options Issue I have an WD 320g external hard drive that I use for storage of all of my files--pictures, videos, music, documents, etc. Recently I noticed a problem with maintaining the folder views that I have had set for years. My "pictures" folder had lost its filmstrip view all of a sudden. Well, I have since fixed that issue, but have noticed that very recently, the settings keep changing in a couple of my folders. Most specifically, my "pictures" folder and the main view into my F drive itself. (I don't know quite what to call it, but it's when I choose "my computer" and then double-click on MyBook F drive--the main window that comes up and lists all of the folders contained within my F drive.) Anyway, what would happen is that every time I changed the view on that main window, the views in "my pictures" would change as well. For instance, I want the main view to be "tiles" and the "my pictures" to be "filmstrip" but whenever I change one the other automatically changed. The one thing I noticed is that my F drive main window had a camera watermark down in the corner, signifying that it was set as a picture-type folder, but I did not set it that way. I went into the folder options and clicked the button to "reset all folders" and now when I double-click and open my F drive, the main page has a music note in the bottom signifying music files I guess. My question is this, how do I set my F drive to be just a normal all-types-of-files drive, like my C drive is? I never set it to be specific to one type of file, so how did it get caught up in being set that way? I've tried looking around, but since this isn't a normal folder to change the "customize" tab, I don't know how to tell the computer that I want this drive like my regular system hard drive, like it was before. I do notice that my external drive has an "autoplay" tab on it in the properties tab, which my C drive (main computer internal hard drive) does not. Did some sort of Windows update change the settings on my external hard drive or something? Tag: How to lock down on users change desktops Tag: 154643

    - Why does it take so long until the system reacts to sleeping or hibernation request? My system recently developed a very nasty habit, namely that when I press the button to sleep or hibernate, it takes "forever" (i.e. up to 3 minutes!) until the system finally indeed goes asleep, or hiberates, resp. What is even more annoying is, that it apparently buffers multiple requests, i.e. if I "dare" to press sleep/hibernate again during that time, then - when I woke it up again - it will almost immediately sleep/hibernate again and this as often as I pressed the key. I recently had to wake it up 4 times, since I apparently pressed "hibernate" that often until if finally reacted. I find this whole behavior most infuriating! First: what could cause the system to take that long to react to a sleep/hibernate request? Ist there some "force"-option or some timeout that one can reduce, such that no app or driver is ever allowed to block a system's sleep/hibernation sequence for more than, say, 5 seconds at most? And second: can one somehow tweak the system to NOT buffer additional sleep/hibernation requests while it already is in the sequence?

    - Why does the Search dialog always take so long to appear??? When I right-click on a drive or directory and select "Search..." it always takes up to a minute (usually about 1/2 min.) until the search dialog finally shows up. I find this extremely annoying! Why is this taking so long? What is the system doing during that time? Is there some option, tweak or something that one could try to reduce this time?

I discovered there are 2 entries in the folder options/file types dialog and only one of them allows for changing the icon. I would like both to use the new icon.

    - 2 part question: Other name of SYSTRAY, & need BAT or SCRIPT Hello, I have a video game that will only run if I shut down all the SYSTRAY and EXPLORER.EXE processes, so I've been told by Tech Support. The first question is this: If you look at the running processes, what is the actual IMAGE NAME of SYSTRAY? I don't see anything in there that says SYSTRAY. As I said earlier, the only way to make the game run is to delete all of the process except the aforementioned two. As you can imagine, it is very tedious to sit there and delete all of the undesired processes one-by-one. So my second question is this: Is there a way to write a BAT file so that I can get only the above mentioned processes to load? If you have a better idea on how to approach this (instead of using a BAT file), like a script (or whatever), I'm all ears. I have ADMIN rights to this PC, also, FWIW. Using XP Pro, SP2 on a 2006 Dell XPS600, with 256mb nVidia video card, with 1gb RAM. TIA. Tag: How to lock down on users change desktops Tag: 154615

    - Windows Explorer Folder Icons I am sure this is somewhere within microsoft.com and perhaps the msdn network, but I have been looking for going on 4 hours now and have not found exactly what I am looking for. I know you can right click a folder and change its icon, however, the default icons use 2 - one for closed folder and one for opened folder. I assume it is in the registry somewhere. I didn't find any info on both states using the desktop.ini. How can I change the default folder icons to represent the 2 folder states, and perhaps even change the drive icons and so forth? Is there some documentation on this within the registry? Tag: How to lock down on users change desktops Tag: 154607

    - Desktop background - please help! Hi, I am having issues with my desktop background and could really use some advice. For a couple of months now I have been unable to change my background picture through display properties/desktop/browse (I am using Windows XP Home), but although baffling (it was fine one day, not working the next) it was not really a problem as I could right-click in explorer and then select "Set as desktop background". Now, however, this option is missing! It is still there when I right click a picture on a website, but not in explorer! I really hope someone can help, it's such a minor problem and yet I can't figure it out at all! Thanks :) Tag: How to lock down on users change desktops Tag: 154583

    - Distribute "Regedit" Folder permissions Hello, I work at IT at my university and I need to employ a microsoft KB fix that requires me to go into REGEDIT and modify FOLDER PERMISSIONS on HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \IniFileMappings\Control.ini per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156677 Now, everytime I need to change a string on all the lab computers (around 300) I save my .reg file and run it on each individual PC as administrator.

    - Some programs start with big delay... What could cause this? I have an effect here, that starts driving me nuts: the startup of certain programs is reproducibly delayed by about 30 seconds during which the system does apparently "nothing" (i.e. it hangs or waits for something but there is no CPU or disk activity), and only after that time the program starts up. What's esp. annoying is, that it is blocking the program that has triggered the firing up of an application during that period, not the application BEING fired up. What I want to say with this is: I e.g. click on a link in some mail in Outlook (or a link in any other program). Outlook goes non-reactive for about 30 seconds after which IE is finally started up and opens the referenced webpage. Same if I click on URLs in other programs. Or I click on a file in Explorer. Explorer (and with it the entire system's UI) hangs for said 30 seconds or so and only THEN finally the application corresponding to the filetype (e.g. a text editor or Adobe Reader or whatever) starts up and loads the file I clicked on. Strange enough starting the same programs that show such delays via a desktop icon or the start menu works "immediately" - no delay. So it is e.g. faster to copy a URL from a mail, fire up IE using the desktop icon and pasting it into the address field. If I simply doubleclick the URL, it will fire up only after half a minute. Or I can fire up my favorite text editor, it comes up immediately and I can drag the file icon from explorer into the editor and it immediately loads the file and opens it. If I doubleclick the file's icon in Explorer it takes forever until the editor comes up and displays that file (and Explorer is blocked during that time). I haven't really figured out the "pattern" behind this effect, yet.Originally I observed this for URLs only and I thought it was an Internet Explorer problem, but in the meantime I experienced this with all kinds of other applications as well. The only common denominator I see, is that the delays seem to happen always then, when the system has to determine which application it shold start based on a given filename or URL (or MIME-type). Could it be that the mechanism that derives the application responsible for a given file- or MIME-type could be the problem here? Does that ring a bell with someone? Any idea, what could cause these delays? And/or how to fix it? Michael Tag: How to lock down on users change desktops Tag: 154495

    - Disable AVI Duration and Dimensions from displaying. To disable XP from displaying the Dimensions, Duration etc of AVI files, I found this little trick on the inter-web: Regsvr32 / u shmedia.dll. Before I go off and do something stupid, does anyone know if this is a safe practice? The reason I ask is that in several folders I have quite a few AVI files and Explorer is painfully slow at displaying the folder contents. I realize that I can do this on a folder by folder basis (View -> Chose Details etc), the problem here is that one must wait until Explorer has finished - kinda defeats the purpose me thinks. Any insight would be appreciated. Cheers. Tag: How to lock down on users change desktops Tag: 154487
