Windows Explorer & Folder Tree
I have a user who has one shortcut to a folder that opens with just the
directory tree displayed (no folder tree to the left) and another one that
brings up the directory on the right and folder tree on the left. How can we
get the folder tree to show up every time in the one where it does not
currently display?...

When HT CPU is activated in BIOS, causes keyboard to mess up apps
Here's a poser. When I activate the HT in BIOS on my 3.06 P4 northridge
(recently upgraded from a non HT CPU) it causes the keyboard to effect other
programs, specifically the music from any media based application. The
symptoms are like one key is overloading whatever cache and causes the music
to stutter.
When HT is off, things are back to normal. I have the most recent BIOS, XP ...

question about bailing out of a drag-n-drop action
Hello.
One of the things I dislike about xp (and previous versions of
windows) is that sometimes it's difficult to figure out how to cancel
an action. Like when you accidentally press the right mouse button
somewhere, you can press escape to bail out from the menu.
Now sometimes it happens people accidentally press the left mouse
button on a file or folder in the explorer, they drag around...

Windows Media Player 9 issue
Couldn't find a Media Player group, so I'm asking here. I enabled
visualizations in WMP9 just to see what's available, and now I can't
find a setting to turn them off. I restored my registry with ERUNT's
recovery program and "fixed" it that way. Is there a way to disable
the visualizations from within WMP?
