Microsoft Synctoy
I am trying to download the above utility to enable me to copy my
document/photo/music files onto an external hard drive for use as a backup
in case the main hard drive should ever fail and to avoid the risk of losing
valuable data.
I have visited the MS downloads website and clicked on the download button.

Open With
Using XP Pro SP2
Where is the OPEN WITH folder (if one exist) located in the directory? Or
is it in the registry? Why I ask, is that when I right click on a jpg file,
a choice comes which has OPEN WITH Painter. I checked within that
application to see if there was a preference setting and could not find one.
So I was wondering if there is a way to remove it manually.
Thanks, Mark ...

I am attempting to re-install Windows XP (SP2) on my laptop, (HP Compaq nc

drive). I have copied the drivers to a USB key, but during "Windows Setup" I
am asked to put my "support disk into Drive A:". I do not have an A: drive.

As a result of Explorer not running, I chose to reinstall XP on my Dell

Now, I cannot do anything as I am told that the OS is not registered.

latest version of Google Desktop and it has problems indexing my SeaMonkey

sent instead of just one. If he just creates and sends a new message
everything is fine.
He has scanned the entire hard disk with an up to date anti-virus

Microsoft Desktop
Will Microsoft Desktop detect and index email files that are not generated
through/by Outloook? I use SeaMonkey for my email and am wondering if the new
Desktop software will index it. How is this desktop indexing software
different from the indexing capacity that can be activated in WXP through the
search facility? Is it just an upgrade? (I also have SP2).
