Brand new Windows xp media center UNABLE to open pdf .
Hi There,
I have a brand new Windows xp media center (5 months old).I am UNABLE
top open pdf messages. My PC writes,
Unable to find or create the font "RRTVU and Trebuchet MS".
Is there a place (exactly where, please) on the Web from which I can
download something or is there a way of doing it from inside my PC?
I shall be obliged if someone offered an expert opinion.
Thanking You,
Urban...

Regarding PLUS! XP
I ask this question every year or so. I keep
hoping to get a positive answer some time.
Has there ever been an upgrade for PLUS! XP,
in particular to correcting the fault whereby
slide-show pictures with portrait aspect only
occupy half the screen area?...

how to set Windows to open .bat files using my own editor?
Hi,
When I right-click on a .bat file, the right-click menu has a item
"Open". If I choose "Open", Windows will use notepad to open the bat
file. My question is how to make Windows to open the bat file using my
preferred editor. I go the "Folder options" but didn't see .bat is in
the file type list. Can someone kindly show me how to do it? Thanks
for any help.

How to restore the path?
From a DOS box, I typed "path /p" when I meant to type "path" to query
the path. Now the path is set to "/p".
Is there any way for me to restore the path to what it was before I
clobbered it? (sigh)

Win XP Login/task manager behavior
Hello,
Windows XP standard has XP startup/login behavior: nice welcome screen with
squares to click for different accounts. If you have but one account, it
automatically starts up. When in windows you hold down ctrl+alt+del you get
the task manager. Recently, after I installed a piece of software, it for no
reason switched to Win2000/NT 4.0 behavior. Ctrl+alt+del kicks you out of

Disable registry resets and all that other automated XP stuff ... (can't remember what it's called ...)
I read a few weeks back in the archives why XP is so much more
annoyingly "automated" as a default than Win98SE, etc. I'd realized
that when I first started working on friends' and family's XP since
over a couple of years ago. I've had my XP for several months now and
would like to start changing things so that they stick.
Unfortunately, though I saw the term, I wasn't sure that was the cau...

System Restore Points
Hi all,
If I understand System Restore Points at all, and I probably don't, I was
just wondering why it defaults 12% of the drive for Restore Points whether
it's a System drive or not. I can see it being used of course on the boot
drive, usually C, and another drive IFF you had some system settings being
stored there.
But, with say 5 drives, 3 of them for pure data, what sense does...
