questions about reloading WinXP
I'm working on our church office Gateway pc, running WinXP. Some OS files
have gotten corrupted, and I want to reinstall WinXP. We have the bundled
software CD that came with the pc.
1. Do I have to reformat the hard drive before reloading WinXP? If so, how
do I do that?
2. Do I need any kind of WinXP install programs that aren't with the OEM
CD?
3. Is it as simple as just p...

Other users cannot access web
My home computer has four users, the administrator(parent) account and my
three kids. For some reason the kid accounts cannot access the internet
since using XP. In fact, just upon logging in as one of them, they get the
error message that asks if you want to send the error to Microsoft or not.
I'm sure there's some easy answer, but I cannot find it!
Thanks for your help and advice....

NTLDR is missing
I get this error message when I try to start XP. Thinking my hard drive had
gone belly up, I put in my spare HD with a Ghost copy on it. I get the same
error message, so I know the trouble isn't in my HD. I search the web and
found a web site, Tinyempire.com that would format a floppy so I could boot
from the floppy and run a certain program that would cause my HD to boot
into XP. I sus...

movie maker and sp2
I dont have movie maker and the MS website says it should be there after the
sp2 upgrade (which I did succesfully). Any idea how to get it alone, or can I
try to install sp2 again without messing things up? Not a complete newbie but
not a geek either, and trying to set this machine up for the kids....

Locked out of Options on Internet Explorer V7
I think my computer may be high jacked, because I cannot open Internet
Options under the Tools tab. I get a message when I try to open that "This
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
Please contact your system administrator".
This is a home computer and has no password restrictions set up.
Any suggestion are appreciated.

How do I customize menus in My Computer?
Hi there
I (or my kids) have accidentally reversed the ranking of commands in the
FILE menu for each Directory Folder in My Computer.
SEARCH... has now taken priority over OPEN in the ranking. So, when I
double-click a directory icon, the search function launches. I want my
double-clicks to open folders, not search them.
How do I restore OPEN to priority ranking in the File menu?

I use DSL, and have a Linksys hub/router joining to two pcs together. The

cannot find the file. I see nothing.
Using administrative Tools from the Control Panel I have taken a good look

Open With
Using XP Pro SP2
Where is the OPEN WITH folder (if one exist) located in the directory? Or
is it in the registry? Why I ask, is that when I right click on a jpg file,
a choice comes which has OPEN WITH Painter. I checked within that
application to see if there was a preference setting and could not find one.
So I was wondering if there is a way to remove it manually.
Thanks, Mark ...
