Icons have changed, but file associations still valid
I have XP Pro SP2 with all patches. This morning the icons for many file types have all changed to a generic icon that looks like a generic page. However, Explorer still recognizes the file association. So, for example, I can double click on a pdf file and it will open in Reader, but its icon is not the Adobe Reader icon. This behavior has affected PDF files and all Microsoft Office pro...

Odd ChkDsk Run Kills DCOM and RPC?
Having recently made no major changes to my system, I was doing a routine boot yesterday and was not paying attention. When I looked up, ChkDsk had begun to run on drive C: (Primary), and reported that it was repairing the indeces and security id's on over ten thousand files (!). I let it run its course, deciding that it would be worse to stop it. When it finished, it had done both process...

File sharing performance is very bad
I have a new computer (let's call it SERVER) with WinXP Pro SP2 (Pentium D 3.2, 1GB of RAM, 100Mbit/s ethernet) which shares a folder in my network. This folder contains approximately 5 000 - 10 000 files. Half of them are images (JPEG) and the other ones are short description files in binary format. These files occupy 2-3GB of storage space. The problem is when I open this shared folde...

Corrupt registry - can it be fixed?
In a previous post I mentioned a problem with a USB device error. The manufacturer tells me the problem is that the registry is corrupt. Are there any programs or tools (preferably free, but more importantly, effective) that can be used to fix it? There are no system restore points that exist before the problem, whatever it was, occurred. I have not personally done anything to the regis...
