password he used and do not want to wait until he gives it to me.
How can I eliminate a user account without the pass word

When I connect a Flash Drive or an SD card into my computer, the AutoPlay
feature does not work anymore.
I right-click on each device in "My Computer" and choose "Properties" and

I see that Office Depot has the HP MediaSmart with 500 gig for $600.00
which seems reasonable.  I'd like to network 5 PCs, 3 with Vista and 2
with XP and printer.  But in reading some of the reviews I see that HP
doesn't support printers and one has to go through a bunch of steps ...

All of a sudden the appearance of all the icons in my start menu changed.  
For instance, instead of the Internet Explorer icon looking like a blue e, it

A WinXPSP2 PC got infected by the "AntiVirus XP 2008" malware thing
and it was removed, apparently effectively.  And it appears that none
of the other clients on the LAN got infected by this one.  That's the
good news.

I keep getting "found new hardware" and I have not added any.  How do I find
