IF01838  Week Of 12/28/2007  Top 50 Tips And How-To's In 2007!

IF01641  I have a raft of KB files residing in my Window folder. What are these files and can I get rid of them?
IF01642  When I go to Start / All Programs, I get a list that is in an order that is understood only by the computer gods.  How do I get that listing to be in Alphabetical order?
IF01643  I downloaded Windows Media Player onto my laptop. I’m not much of a computer whiz but from the researching I’ve done there is no way to completely rid yourself of the media player because it is a feature of the operating system. However, I do not want the media player on my laptop. Its an annoyance! Please help me find a way to remove it completely.
IF01644  Recently, I created another computer administrator account on my Windows XP based computer. I now want to delete it. How can I go about it so that I will remain the only administrator as before?
IF01645  I was wondering how to stop my computer from auto filling in: search bars and email subject lines, login username lines etc. I would also like to know where to delete this information, I though it would be under internet options but it isn’t there, as far as I know, if you could help that would be great.
IF01646  I’ve got 2 files of MS Outlook emails which are of 1GB each. How do I backup of those files? CDs are maximum 700MB. So is there any other way I can back up those files in a place other than My PC.
IF01647  I would like to be able to take a picture file from Google images and place them on top the plain manila file that’s on my desktop.  In other words how to I make a folder icon out of a picture file, jpeg or gif etc?
IF01648  I recently increased my memory of 512MB to 1G. I use a Dell 8400 Hyper thread 3200 Intel chip. I have the hyper thread turned on in the bios. Windows XP OS.
I didn't seem to get any performance increase, and wonder if I should change the setting in Performance Options from the Virtual Memory Paging file "custom size" (which is set to 1533 MB with max of 1536; which is what is says is recommended) to "system managed size", or something else. The Memory Usage is set for "system cache'. My Hard Drive is 40MB. Is there any other tweaking I could do?
IF01649  Six to eight months ago, I deleted a folder that was full of jpeg pictures. I emptied the recycle bin as well.  Can that folder and it's contents be recovered?
IF01650  How can I show two (or more?) windows side by side. I've been switching back and forth between two websites in IE 6 and I'd like to be able to show them both simultaneously. I'd also like to be able to show two drawings (from the same drawing program) side by side. I'm using Windows XP Home edition with all the latest updates from Microsoft. I've tried to look up how to do this in a few books, unsuccessfully, perhaps because I'm not using the correct terminology.

However, that means that when I open a WinRAR folder or similar to run an application, I can't double-click on the application to let it run.

IF01625  I had 2 sessions of Windows Explorer open the other day and I hit some Key Combination that arranged both windows on my screen evenly. Basically I had 2 windows explorer screens each taking up half of my screen. I cannot seem to make this happen again?

IF01626  I am using XP Home, Version 2002 with SP2 Firewall, also have Norton anti virus 2005 anti-spyware edition with firewall. I have read somewhere that it's best to use only one firewall, Is this correct?  If so which one do you think would be best?

IF01629  I'm not sure what I did but my URL address under my tool bar no longer appears and I'm not sure how to get it back. If I want to type in an address I can't I have to do a search to find the site. It's really frustrating. I'm sure the answer is simple but I can't seem to figure out how to get that URL section back under my tool bar. I know it must be a dumb question, If you can help I'd appreciate it.  Thanks.
IF01630  I prefer to see the lists of subdirectories and files in "list" or "detail" format rather than as icons of some sort, which seems to be the default setting on my computer.  I always have to go change the way the info is displayed.  How can I get Windows XP to present the data listed as I would like to see it, in non-iconic format?
