When I try to open a file and get the open file dialog box I would
like to set the default on the "View Menu" to the DETAILS option
rather than the LIST option that it is set to now. It is a pain to
have to change that option every time.

I know how to do this but I can't tell what they are just by looking at them.
If there's something I know I don't want running is there a way to find the
item in the startup list like MSN? I remove it from the toolbar but it always
returns on reboot.

Hi everybody, this seems so basic but I can't figure it out. I made a
backup of my music files on a DVD-RW by dragging and dropping and
installed a new hard drive. Now when I pop the disc in the explorer
screen shows no files even though it recognizes that the disc is full.

In windows XP, in automatically filling forms, how do I delete old
information such as email addresses that are no longer valid?

the OS is on the slave drive?
