C Drive Icon
I have lost the Icon for my C Drive, I can still see the drive and
everything works ok but the yellow folder icon will not show. I have 3
drives, C, D & E, D & E are the same as they always have been but C is now
just a basic standard icon.
Any ideas how to change back to the usual XP Drive Icon?
Thanks
Keith

please help- in desperate need
I recently reinstalled Windows XP due to the fact that windows update
crashed my Nvidia network driver. Now I am in big trouble because My
documents is no longer accessible. What seems to be the cause is that I had
made My documents private and after the reinstall I've become a stranger to
myself. Is there a way around this problem?

hardware notification
XP Home, SP 2,
used to be in the system tray an icon telling me that plug and play hardware
was installed or connected usually via USB port or hub.
That icon has stopped showing itself, about three days now,
and now before I unplug a device I must go to Device Manager and disable the
device in effect manually.
How can I get the icon back to disable plug and play devices?

How to tell whether a new computer uses EFI or BIOS?
Generally the sales staff is clueless,<g>
Is there any easy way to fire up a new computer and determine whether
the input/output system is the new EFI?

How many files in one folder ?
Hi,
I am about to finish my digitalisation project and have put all my CD's in
mp3 format. For the moment all MP3's have been stored in one folder. There
about 22000 MP3 files. This is roughly 140 Gig.
Now my system is getting really slow. If I open the MP3 folder, to move one
of the files, it takes ages before the file can be selected. The MP3's are
all on my internal drive (500 Gig). ...

xp updates from microsoft update site
Hi
I run several machines on my home network and they sometimes download the
same files from windows update site.
Is there anyway to do this so that I only have to download the file once and
point the other computers on the network to that file.
For example, i have 3 machines downloading a 432 meg service pack for visual
studio at the moment.
thanks
Doug

New here, so I apologize if I am not speaking tech very clearly. It must be

pc. Then I downloaded this same cd onto another pc when my old pc the g...

Disappearing language icon in toolbar
That's the first symptom but the problem is really deeper
than that. During Start-Up, Symantec's program CCapp does
a zillion things and takes too darn long to finish. Sometimes
it never finishes, and it's a big CPU hog, and the symptom
that it may never finish, is that the 'EN' in my
toolbar, signifying ENglish keyboard, just doesn't appear.
I know then that I have to interrupt the power an...

When you have a system with SATA hard drives, can you install the OS on any
