Sustem Restore
I had a tech at Verizon do a hard reset on my PDA (Treo 650) due to a software issue. He then told me to hot sync it again. Well he did not tell me to switch the command to desktop overrides the PDA and since the PDA was empty of knowledge, now my desk top is empty.

Old Notepad.exe
Though familiar with XP at work I'd deliberately stayed with Win98 at home till recently as I preferred it for some things, and one of these was Notepad. I hate the 'new' XP Notepad, and as it's an application I use a heck of a lot it's already bugging me as I knew it would. Word-wrapping doesn't work as it used to and I don't want to be able to change fonts either. I just want the plai...

Explorer loses focus on current file
Is there any way in Windows XP to alter the default behavior of Windows Explorer when a file is modified or renamed? I'm finding it very irritating that a file I modify or rename is automatically thrown to the bottom of the folder, losing the focus and often vanishing off the bottom of the screen. Is there any way to keep Explorer's focus on the current file when it is modified or rena...

Print Screen actually printing?!?
Hi, I've done some searching and can't figure it out. On all XP computers (or so I thought) Print Screen sends the image to the clipboard. On two computers here at work, it actually sends the page to the printer. There is no "F lock" key on the keyboard, or if there's one, I can't find it and there is no green light to indicate toggle status. How can I get them back to "normal" fun...
