I was wondering if there's a way to permanently hide the taskbar/start menu
for certain users. I need to run a particular application for certain users
and I don't want them to have access to the taskbar and start menu, or
anything else in the OS for that matter.

How can I pre-schedule reboots (on a daily basis) for an XP Pro machine?
Thanks,

Until a week ago I worked on Win XP workstation with local users. Now I
installed a Windows 2003 server and created a domain user on which I would
like to transfer my local user's settings and configuration. How can that be
done. The system -> user profile seems only to allow the ...

Been there and done everything I could find here, no results.  Mcafee's
Security software crashed my system while writing to the regisiter.  I have
made several repairs and everything seems to be working except the
Installshield "Error 1607" and the "Windows Installer Service ...

Just hoping someone has a way to fix a bug that has been on my system since a
recent reformat.  In any program, pressing the apostrophe key just once won't
make either apostrophes or quotes appear.  Any second keystroke will cause
them to pop up, but it's a pain whenever editing, as ...

Hi. I have 2 hard drives. C: is a 40 gb ntfs and has my default operating
system
Windowsxp Home Edition. D: is a 12 gb fat.
The other day I was unable to start windows caused by I believe third-

I had to reinstall my operating system.  Now, the scroll bars bring on
successive waves as the screen refreshes rather than just moving up and down
the page.  It is a lot slower and harder to be precise.  Any thoughts on how
to smooth the images out?

Hi,
I need help! Please help.
I got error message as below when I do to set schedule time for McAfee for
scan automatically as my setted time.

Eek! Need help getting it back to normal!
On Windows XP Professional, the booting screen is normal, but as soon as it
goes to log onto windows, the display is sideways. This happened after
playing a CD-ROM game, I'm totally clueless how to get it back to normal.

I have a Dell desktop 3 Ghz 1 Meg ram running XP Pro, and the thing has
been slow since I got it. Mostly this shows up as a lag when programs
load. For example, it takes a few seconds to load Word, whereas on my
work laptop (also XP) it snaps to life in less than a second.

A friend of mine is running XP PRO SP2. Every now and then he gets a blue
screen and his laptop reboots. This started suddenly without HW or SW
changes on a 4 months old laptop.
After reboot the following error code appears in the event log:

Windows XP wouldn't load so Dell told me to load a 2nd copy and use that to
retrieve my files.  Problem is I can't access the old files in my
administrator account.  When I click on the folder containing the files I
want, it says access denied.  When I hold the cursor over the ...

I'm trying to configure a co-workers laptop to join our domain but I cannot
do this as the domain name is greyed out.  For example, when I try to change
the laptop from the current workgroup to a domain, the section to enter the
domain name remains greyed out.  

I have four desktop icons that will not die. The exact method of creation
escapes me, but I think it happened thus: As Administrator, Open Control
Panel, start TweakUI. In TweakUI, go to Desktop, select Printers/Faxes and
Start Menu, then Control Panel and click "Create as File." ...

For various reasons that don't need to be included here, I need to give my
users the ability to right-click on the start menu, select Explore... and
have it default to their my computer path. Currently (as is the logical
deduction), performing the above action opens a path to the ...
