OE's Remember Password disabled

• newfro - Do you know how I set up Outlook Express to save my password?
          I can't get the "Remember Password" box to activate when I open OE.
• Ray - The strange thing is that I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. Before that I had never experienced it.
          I had signed up for Gmail and then used their utility to add my new Gmail account to OE. When I then checked my email with OE, it asked for the password. I entered it and it did not ask for it again while I had my computer on, but after I restarted my computer it asked for it again. The Remember Password checkbox was disabled.
          I solved this by going to the Tools menu of OE, to Accounts. Then I found the Gmail account, selected it, and clicked on the Properties button. On the Servers tab, I checked the Remember password checkbox (this one allowed me to check it) and then entered the password. That seems to have worked.
• newfro - Thanks - that works!
  

Deleting Windows username and password

• harley - My Grandaughter installed Windows 2000 Pro on the 4 year old HP Pravilion and promptly forgot both the user name and password. So when signing on all she gets is the Administration and password window and can go no further. As I cannot delete the win 2000 and cannot pick up the installation cd in the cd drive what do I do??
• dlwolff0 - Check this page. The author has a CD download that you can use to get into Windows to delete the administrator password, allowing you to boot the system.
          http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html
          Other than this, the only solution I would know would be to format the hard drive and start all over. Hopefully if you have to do that, you have a data backup for any essential files.

Read Only...Not

• silvrsreek - Does anyone know how you keep a folder or a file's properties not Read Only. Everytime I uncheck Read Only on a file or folders properties then click ok, when I check the properties again Read Only is always checked. How do I stop this. These are files that are safe to delete so I am not worried about deleting something I shouldn't.
• Ray - I think that is one of those WinXP "features". I do not have a problem with the files. If I take off the read-only attribute, it stays off (in fact, all of my files do not have the read-only attribute checked).
          But the folders are a different story. They stay marked as read-only as you have described. The folder being read-only does not affect the files in it. As far as I can tell, there is no problem in deleting the folders also, so I am not sure what affect the folder being read-only has.
• rfmizell - I do not have a problem with this either. However I have noticed that if you do have a file in a folder the folder will remain 'READ ONLY' until you delete everything in the folder. After that it should delete. At least it does on my computer. It you want to delete the folder you will either have to move its contents to a new folder or delete the files until it it empty. This seems to work for me most of the time anyway.
  

Do Desktop Icons slow down PC?

• Kathryn906 - My husband and I have a question about desktop icons. He says the Quick Start bar and the desktop both slow down computer speed when there are lots of icons there. I love the bar because it is visible even with full-screen applications and used to put a lot of stuff there. Now I've cleaned up my act in both spots, but wondered.
          Is it better to use the toolbar? Is there a far, far better way of which I remain ignorant?
          Thanks for your help!
• Ray - I hate to say this (I being a husband) but you are right (I was going to say that your husband is wrong but that sounded so bad). Putting items on the desktop and on the Quick Launch (this is the items on the taskbar next to the Start button) will not slow down your computer. They are simply small files (shortcuts) on the hard drive. They are not like the icons in the tray over by the time which are actually indicators of programs running in the background.
          I never liked having a lot of items on the Desktop or on the Quick Launch bar anyway. So I agree with your husband that you should clean them up.
          I guess a person could argue that each item there has to be put there somehow (the computer looking on the harddrive for each item and then putting it in those places may take a fraction of a fraction of a second to do) and that it would take a fraction of a fraction of a second longer to draw the screen if there are more items on it.
• sgt - I always have a lot of icons on my desktop...I like to be able to locate what I want quickly. I noticed no reduction in speed, but it does use video memory, so, if your video card can't handle it, you might notice a slower refresh rate/slower loading of graphics.
• Cenzo - I like having certain program Icons on the Quick Launch tool bar for the same reason. Sometimes I am running a program and I need to open another and it's the quickest way to get to them. I have 18 Icons there now and I have never noticed any real reduction in speed because of having them there.
  

Moving a tax program

• aurevick - I bought my aunt a new computer running XP. Her old computer running 2000 has several years of tax programs on it. How do I move these programs to the new computer so she does not loose all her data and can still work the programs?
• dlwolff0 - Try using the built in XP program, Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\ Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
• rharris270 - For Turbo Tax, "data" can be moved by simply copying all files with a "TAX" extension to the new computer. Use a floppy, CD, ZIP, pen dirve, whatever to move them. They can be placed in any directory, but traditionally the directories are called "taxnn", where nn = tax year. Turbo tax will usually find them itself, but if not, the user can browse to find them to import information into the next year's taxes. It is possible that other tax programs have similar capabilities, although the specific files they save might end in something other than "tax".

RePopulate Add/Remove Programs

Find this on our board at http://www.regvac.com/forum/m-1161534395/

---

• wngardner - Is there a utility that will repopulate my Windows uninstall file that got corrupted? Now only about a quarter of my programs are listed in the Add/Remove Windows utility.
• Cassandra - I've never heard a story exactly like that, but it sounds like the portion of the registry where the Uninstall strings are stored got damaged. If you have a recent backup copy of your registry, that should fix it. If you had just a backup of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall that would be even better, but I doubt that many people have one.
          In addition to the usual warnings, there's one more thing you should know about restoring the registry from a backup: Many programs store bits of history, configuration parameters, etc., in the registry, and restoring an old one can create a lot of minor nuisances.
• Ray - No, there is not a utility to do that. I don't think it is even possible.
          As Cassandra said, you could restore a registry backup (restoring a Restore Point also would work). That is a good reason why you should keep regular backups of the registry (our WinRescue program at http://superwin.com/rescuexp.htm can do that).
          If you can't do that, you could reinstall each of the programs to the same place that they already are (that will add their entry in the Add/Remove list).
• Belinda - I have the same problem on my desktop. I found that if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the (blank) list, the rest of your items are there. I don't know why there is so much blank space between. I was glad when I found the rest of my items there at the bottom. Maybe your's is the same. Good Luck.
• Ray - You might want to check out the Add/Remove Editor of RegVac or our freeware program, Add/Remove Pro. Maybe it will show you something about those blank entries.
          Or you can go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall key in the registry and see what those blank items are.
          The DisplayName value is what is shown in Add/Remove Programs. My guess is that DisplayName is a space or something like that which is showing as a blank entry.
  

Windows ME shutdown

• john clements - Every time I try to shut down Windows ME the blue screen pixellates and hangs. If I hit the hot reboot button it restarts with the 'improper shutdown screen' which scans but never finishes. If I hit the reboot button again I get my usual desktop which soon changes to white with a 'restore my active desktop' panel. After I hit that, I can then shut down normally. This happens every time. Any ideas?
• Ray - Win98 was known to have shutdown problems. They tried to fix them in WinME but really didn't. What happens is that Windows never completely shuts down. Something is keeping it from shutting down. There are a number of things that can cause that. WinME has a shutdown troubleshooter in Help. That may help you to find the problem, but it may not.
          One way to figure it out is to think about what you changed on the computer right before it started having problems shutting down. Maybe that is causing the problem.
  

Re-assigning Drive letters

• Condor - I would like to know the process necessary to re-assign the drive letters on my computer. I have added an additional hard drive, and I really want it to be D: not F:. The original system was configured with one hard drive (C: - of course), CD rom drive (D, and a DVD (E. I am using XP as an operating system. The task seemed simple; however all I have encountered is frustration. Imagine that, a Microsoft product that is difficult to work with. If someone can suggest where to start, or the correct area to be modifying, I would greatly appreciate it.
• dlwolff0 - If you go to Control Panel/Administrative tools/Computer Management/Storage/Disk management and right click on your hard drive F: one of the choices in the context menu is "change drive letter and paths".
          Changing a drive letter can be a complicated process since all the paths to everything on F: will have to be changed to D: and everything pointing to the CDROM will be changed to F:
• Ray - The other option is to change which cables your drives are hooked up to so that the second harddrive becomes D. I would think that if you unhooked the CD drive and put the second harddrive on that connector that the second harddrive would become D. Of course, this requires you to open the case of your computer and it does not always work out that simply (not recommended for the faint of heart or clutz), but that is how I have changed drive letters in the past.
• Condor - Many thanks for your exceptional assistance DLWolfF0; it was right on the money! I just could not see the forest from the trees. Also, thank-you on the heads-up on the programs referencing the old drive lettering. I was aware of it, and can handle their re-mapping. I am quite impressed with your incredibly quick responsetime, keep up the great work. Note: Ray, I was looking at swapping the cables, however I do now have a Master and Slave on both Primary and Secondary cables, and getting them all swapped around was not going to be as easy. Thank-you for the information and assistance.
  

Shareware Programmes

• gshibu5 - What is a shareware programme.Whether we have to purchase the programme to fully use it.
• Ray - Shareware is an older term that most software developers now try to steer clear of because of certain bad connotations associated with the term. Now software developers use the terms full and trial versions (or similar terms) instead of shareware.
          A shareware program is a program that lets you download it and try it for free. They often have certain limitations on them until you buy them. The limitation can range from a nag screen to disabling features. Some shareware programs are fully functional for a certain amount of days.
          The advantage is that you get to see the product and try it before you buy it.
          If the program is totally free and never has to be purchased, it is called freeware. Shareware includes freeware.
• gshibu5 - Thanks a lot. The site is very usefull.There are lots of people with many doubts about computers.I have already suggested this to my friends.
  

faulty turnoff

• Edk - When I turnoff Windows XP, it goes thru the process of turning off but INMEDIATELY reboots itself, so the only way I can turn off my computer is to pull the plug literally. This is most annoying. Anybody has and idea of why this is happening? It just started a few days ago.
• Ray - You need to make sure that it does not say Restart in the window that appears when you click on the Shut Down button. You need to select Shut down in that window and then click on the OK button.
          An alternative to pulling the plug is to hold in on the On/Off button for five seconds. Be sure you only do this after Windows has said that it is OK to shut down your computer (or once the computer begins restarting).
• Edk - The alternative solution works, thanks. But the original problem still there, as soon as it turnsoff it restarts I made sure that I don't push resttart.
  

IE7 fuzzy fonts

• C Curtis - Today I let WinXP update itself, and Internet Explorer 7 was installed. Compared to IE6, all text in webpages (and html emails in Outlook) look fuzzy; The address bar font looks fine and crisp, it's just the text within the webpages (and emails). Anyone know how to fix this?
• C Curtis - Found the answer: Cleartype under Tools icon|Internet options|Advanced|Multimedia...
          ...turning it off, it removes the fuzziness after restarting IE.
          Which begs the question: Why is it called Cleartype?????
• Ray - I tried ClearType in Vista using IE7 and it made no difference for me.
          WinXP responds differently. Yesterday, WinXP offered to upgraded IE6 to IE7, so I did. The first time I used IE7 it offered to set certain settings, one of them being ClearType. When it had done so, the type turned fuzzy (it is not a real bad fuzzy but not as sharp as without ClearType).
  

RE: DLL Repair Utility

• vsnpsa - I am looking for a dll repair utility, is there a good program out there?
• Ray - Maybe there is such a thing, but I don't think so. I don't see how that would be possible since a DLL is simply a program file used by other programs.
          If you want to repair a DLL find out where it came from (from Microsoft or from another software company) and get a new one from them. Or look for a backup of it on your computer.
          There are driver update programs but you can do the same thing for free by updating the driver from the manufacturer's website.

How to Uninstall IE7

Find this on our board at http://www.regvac.com/forum/m-1162824739/

---

• Leesa - IE 7 came in as an update during the night. I do NOT like IE7, and want to uninstall it, but don't know how. Can you help me please?
• dlwolff0 - IE7 should appear in the list of programs in the Add or Remove Programs entry on the Control Panel. Simply select IE7 from the list of programs and click on the remove button.
          Before you uninstall IE7, you may want to download the installation program for whatever browser you are going to replace it with.
• pipdev - as a bit of an aside on this one - if anyone has a Hewlett-Packard scanner, they may find - like me and several of my friends - that, AFTER INSTALLING IE 7, the scanner no longer puts up a window, so the only way you can use it is to scan from another programme (e.g. PaintSop Pro).
          Uninstalling IE7 fixes this, and, incidentally, will default to IE 6.
• Harrysmith - I'm not a big fan of IE7 and still prefer to use Firefox. I have however "upgraded" to IE7 even though I have no intention of using it. IE7 actually changes a lot more than is first realised and is an integral part of Windows security. Not installing IE7 may leave users exposed to unnecessary risks or may even prevent the installation of future security upgrades.
          So my advice is to install IE7 but don't use it -- install a better browser
  

Keeping programs after reinstalling Windows

• wngardner - If I back up program files, is there a program that will restore them to a new WinXP re-install registry with all the settings in tact ?
• Ray - No. It is not really possible for a program to detect all of the places that another program has put entries in the registry in the past.
          If you just reinstall Windows to the same location and don't format the drive, your programs will all still be there and their entries should also still be in the registry.
          You could find a backup of the registry that was made before you had problems (look in the Restore Points). If you restored that, you may not have to reinstall Windows. WinRescue can restore just the registry part of the Restore Point if you can figure out how to get access to the Restore Points folders.
          When you reinstall Windows, Windows deletes the old Restore Points, so if you want to keep them, you need to move them to another folder before you reinstall Windows. You can restore registry backups after you have reinstalled Windows.
• wngardner - Thanks -- that information is very useful and makes me a lot more at ease in re-installing Windows.
• crs01 - Ray, Is that only true with XP, or will that also work with Windows 2000? I've got some corrupted files somewhere, apparently mainly associated with IE and Windows update, and have been too lazy to do a complete reinstall, thinking I'd have to reload all the programs. However, if I can get away with a simple reinstall of Windows, that would be great! (with a full back up first, of course)
          With respect to your statement, "If you just reinstall Windows to the same location and don't format the drive, your programs will all still be there and their entries should also still be in the registry," I may be missing something here. Does Windows actually try to place the reinstalled files in the same physical location on the drive as they were before, or does the reinstall just use unused space and the FAT simply points to the new location(s), thereby rendering the old files as unrecognized trash? And doesn't the reinstall create a new registry, thereby either overwriting or essentially deleting the old registry settings? Has all that been fixed in more modern versions of Windows? (I go way back to early DOS, so I remember just how bad things were compared to what we complain about now. )
• Ray - As I remember it, that works all the way back to Win98. As long as you are installing to the same location (the same Windows directory), it simply replaces the files and uses the registry that is there.
          Some forms of the installation of Windows will not do this. These should say on the box something like, for new installations only. If this is the case, when you run it, it will tell you that it cannot install to the existing directory and will make you select a new directory. If that happens, just cancel and stop the installation.
  

XP re-load

• imdapapa - Hi there, I recently had to re-load my operating system (XP). Obviously I overwrote the registry and now XP knows nothing of the software on my PC. Is there any way for XP to learn of what is on my PC or am I doomed to re-loading all of it?
• Harrysmith - I assume you are working with one drive/partition and have installed Xp on top of an existing Xp ? If so then I think somethings will still work but most will need to be re-installed.
          You might want to look at some imaging software (Acronis, Ghost) to avoid having to do this in future. Basically the idea is that you Install your operating system and programs and then make an image which can be restored should anything go wrong - saves hours.
• Ray - Actually, if you reinstall Windows to the same location it was before (assuming that you did not reformat the drive), it will remember everything and you will not have to reinstall anything.
          Harrysmith's suggestion concerning imaging software really does not work in your situation because you would have just ended up putting everything back the way it was before including putting the old Windows back on (that is if you restore the entire image). That sort of defeats the purpose of reinstalling Windows. If you only restore part of the image (assuming that to be all of your programs but not the old Windows), you will still have to reinstall everything (which is really the same place you are at now).
          If you can find a backup of the registry from the old Windows, restoring that should work. If the old Windows and new Windows are different versions, it will not work. Other than that, the only option is to reinstall all of your programs.
• Harrysmith - Sorry not to be clear. I meant that it was a good idea to use imaging once a good system had been created.
          I know it takes time but I think it is better ( in the long run) to start again and install a clean system and then take an image.
  

Only seeing 2/3 of web sites

• Harrysmith - Using either IE 7 ot Firefox 2 I have started to notivce that some web pages are only taking up 2/3 of the screen and the the 1/3 to the right is empty. Nothing I can do will make these pages fill up the whole screen. The amount of empty space seems to vary with the machine I am using. My main desktop has very little wasted space and my 2 lap tops a great deal.
          Is this a new issue ? that others have experiemced ? is there a solution ? Its no big deal but I'm just curious. Perhaps part of my security is stopping adverts ?
• Ray - My guess would be that it has nothing to do with you or your computers (except that your screen resolution is different than the webpage expects) but that it has to do with how the webpage was written. In other words, the webpage was written for a certain width of screen and yours is wider than that, so there is blank space on the side. This would especially be true if you have changed the resolution of your screen so that it is more than normal ( normal being 800x600 or 1024x768 ).
          You might give us the address of a website that has empty space on it and we could see how it looks on our computers. I may also be able to look at the source code and see if it is in fact written for a certain width.
• Harrysmith - http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks/wei.html This one works fine on all my machines.
          But http://www.bbc.co.uk/ fills various amounts of the screen depending upon whether it is a desktop machine or a lap top. On the machine I am using now the BBC fills up about 80% from left to right.
• Harrysmith - Have just tried 800 x 600 on a 21 inch CRT and the BBC page fills the screen. Perhaps the BBC think that 800 x 600 is normal ?
• Ray - Yes, I have a resolution of 1024x768 and it shows the BBC page (www.bbc.com) with blank space along the right side. You can also drag the right side of the browser out on the BBC site and see that the text does not extend. Whereas, if you drag it out with this page, it does extend.
          I looked in the code of the page and they set the width of the page to a certain amount. They do this because they want to be able to dictate exactly how the page will look. If the page were allowed to have different widths on different computers, the various parts of the page would not fit on some computers and it would look strange.
• Harrysmith - Thanks - it seems there is nothing that I can about it. Its not really important but just irritating to realize how much control others have over what we see and do.

• rayprice - my AVG has become corrupt and a virus has slipped through. No idea where it's hiding or what it is called. But whenever I open an explorer window containing an anti virus program, the window is shut down before I can double click on the setup.
          My AVG won't re-install in Safe Mode.
          Does anyone know of an anti virus program that can be installed from DOS? Or can I rename my AVG installler something like Fred.EXE and fool the damn virus?
• Ray - That sounds like one of the features of Windows called Data Execution Prevention. It is not neccessarily a virus. Running video files can cause Windows to do that.
          You can disable that feature in the boot.ini file. There is a post about it in this board at http://www.regvac.com/forum/b-answin/m-1138631069/ My last post in that thread tells the solution.
• rayprice - OK I get the drift. I've printed out the solution and will give it a try. Thanks for that - I was really stuck.
• Ray - No, I was serious when I called it a feature. It is a feature (not necessarily a good one) of Windows.
          As I remember it, at first it disabled me from playing certain videos (these were perfectly good videos with nothing wrong with them) and when I continued to try and play the videos, Windows Explorer shut down whenever I tried to even access the folder that the videos were in. It is a real hassle.
          Disabling it is simple.
• rayprice - The last time I came across this "feature" I wiped the hard drive so this is a much simpler solution. Thanks very much

• Steelbone - Most of the time when I select Start, Turn off computer, Re-start or Turn-off my computer does nothing. I have been turning off the computer by pushing the button on the tower. I have an HP Pentium 4 computer with Media Edition XP. Any ideas?
• Ray - What happens when you choose Restart or Shut down?
          Are there any programs running in the background? If so, try quitting them all first.
• Steelbone - You were right Ray. Shutting down all the running programs did the trick. Thanks!
• crs01 - NEVER turn off the computer by the on/off button on the computer case unless absolutely necessary. There is a "shut down" process the system needs to use, and you can corrupt Windows if you don't let it follow the normal shut down. You may SEEM to get away with it for a while, but you never know exactly what got corrupted when you do it.
          An alternate method of shutting down the computer if the "Start" method doesn't work is to press [alt][ctrl][del] ONE time and wait for Task Manager to come up. One of the options that people forget about is "Shut Down."
          Ray's right, though most programs SHOULD shut down as part of the shut down routine. It's always a good idea to close out anything you have running before trying to shut down.
• Steelbone - Thanks for pointing that out C.R. I hadn't noticed the shutdown option in the task manager. The power button will be my last option.
