Mondays News Letter Tips.
============================
1. When I choose "Shut Down" from the Start Menu, my computer hangs at the
"Please Wait" screen
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01639.htm
============================
2. I am having a problem when starting up Windows - a message appears with a
Windows - No Disk error. I have seen similar posts, and have followed the first
steps. I have run Hijack This and saved the log file. Also, when booting in Safe
Mode, there is no error message. Any advice on what to fix based on the Hijack
This log?

3. I have a raft of KB files residing in my Window folder. What are these files
and can I get rid of them?
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01641.htm
============================
4. 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?

============================
5. 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.

============================
6. 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
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01644.htm
============================
7. 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.

============================
8. 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.
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01646.htm
============================
9. 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?
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01647.htm
============================
10. 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?".

Wednesdays News Letter Tips.
============================
1. 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?
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01649.htm
============================
2. 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.
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01650.htm
============================
3. We have three computers all running XP home. One of them has "lost" the
windows media player. I think probably as a result of a virus. I have tried to
download and reinstall media player (both media player 9 and 10) and get the
same error message
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01651.htm
============================
4. I have a question I hope that someone can help me with....I just recently
bought a laptop, and I don’t really know much about computers so I thought that
with a laptop I could go on the internet anywhere that I'm at and not have to
plug anything in (like dial up), but now I see that is not the case, so I’m
confused, I thought laptops were supposed to be wireless. Is there something
that I need to do or get to be able to connect to the internet without having to
dial up? and I want to be able to take my laptop with me to Europe when I go on
vacation this summer, would I be able to do that and how would I get an internet
connection?
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01652.htm
============================
5. I am having problems installing 16 bit programs on our computer. The
programs are supposed to work but the following box pops up when we try to run
them.
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01653.htm
============================
6. My brother has a pop-up ad frozen on his system. He's tried several remedies
but they have not worked. A radio computer tech suggested he uninstall Windows
XP. He did not upgrade to XP. My question is should he simply use the uninstall
feature on his system and what will he lose, if anything, when he does? Or
would you suggest something else?
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01654.htm
============================
7. Is it possible to load 2 or more copies of "windows fax and picture viewer?",
so you can switch between photos. If yes, how do you do this?
http://www.internetfixes.com/readers_questions/IF01655.htm
============================
8. My pc takes forever to boot up and I would like to know what is required in
the startup menu and how to change the startup menu to use only what I need to
speed up.
