Recycle Bin Not working properly
Hey :)

bin.
When the bin is right-clicked on the desktop, the only options are these:
Cut
Paste
Create shortcut

There is a recycler folder, which contains about 2gb of files. If I rename
that folder and then delete something XP creates a new recycler folder, but

Cascade my computer?
The Start ->settings-> control panel cascades, i.e., the many CP control
sections, unfurl. Is there a way to make My Computer display its contents,
so that for example I cann get easily to the floppy drive? The help files
don't recognize my search terms, so 'cascade' is not the word. Suggestions
would be appreciated.

Default account log-on
I am using Windows XP SP2. I have set up two users. One is used
frequently, the other rarely.
At start up (and after going dormant) I have to choose which account to
log-in as. Is it possible to set this so that if I make no input within x
second it will default to one account?
TIA

Hi,

task bar is not automatically hidden. Then the task bar blocks the bottom
part of the active window that may have buttons or horizontal scroll bars.
I normally need to close all the active windows to make XP back to normal.

Excessive Diak accessing
Over the past week or two, I have noticed a lot of hard disk activitiy I did
not have before. I run XP and no changes other than updates have been made.
Several monitoring tools have not shown the problem but the Process Monitor
utility shows explorer.exe as the one doing all the read/writes, over and
over. Indexing is not on. Did an update make a change in disk activity for
some reason?...

Click/Double Click in XP
I have always had a possessed PC. Visual Foxpro development environment
windows used to require clicking the close window twice. I thought perhaps
I was moving the mouse too quickly over the X in the main window, but no.
Now it appears that any window requires 2, sometimes 3 clicks on the X to
actually close the window. The problem seemed to get worse when I started
