My daughter messed up my wife Windows XP screen set up and it's driving her
crazy and she's driving me crazy.

should be and cannot be shrunk by grabbing it and dragging it down a bit.

I've just got a new laptop which has come with "User" already set up. I know
I can change the name on screen but that doesn't change the name in Explorer
file listings, i.e. under "Documents and Settings" it will still show as

I downloaded a picture.  Before downloading, it said that the picture was
active, and did I still want to download it.  I did, and my desktop is now

My sister has four computers that she is planning to upgrade to Vista
and Office 2007 (they're all compatible). She'd like to know the most
economical route to get the software. She could go to Amazon.com and
spend $$$$, or she could go to the M$ volume licensing, or what else?

I installed a back up hard drive.  In the boot process, windows logo and
status bar showed up fine.  From that point on the screen was black.  It did
boot up, but could not see anything.  By sheer luck I booted with "F8" and
