[home network issues]

well, if you want (i spend to much time with apple stuff), you can get itunes, and just share your library into her itunes.  the one draw back, if she cant modify play lists for herself, and your itunes must be on

i gotta spend less time with mac people

*laughs* I was thinking that actually, but I also use the network to install programs on her computer. Basically everything I need to do on her computer I cna pull off mine. =\

I've tried leaving it blank and tried logging in as me, but no go.

Did you check local computer policy, by default blank passwords are not allowed..

How do I go about doing this?

Can you fill out the dialog box asking for username and password?

Yeap.

[home network issues]

My sister was attempting to look at some of my music on my computer, but was unable to view the files. This issue started up after I did a clean install of WinXP with SP2 on my machine. At first I was thinking issues with me running SP2 and her running SP1 with all the hotfixes, but I wasn't sure. I checked and rechecked everything and decided to do a clean install on her computer as well, but that hasn't helped either.

The first instance when I was unable to connect to my computer from her's, a dialog box popped up asking for a user name and password. After doing a clean install on her machine, I now get it trying to connect to her computer from mine. I turned on the guest accounts just out of curiousity and the dialog boxes don't come up, but now I get a error message saying that I might now have access rights. The firewall is disabled on both machines.

Is there something I'm not catching here?

If you need more info then just ask. I'm stumped.

[Annoyance with media files]

Open Windows Media Player -> Tools Menu -> Options... -> File Types Tab. From there you can check all the filetypes you want to open with windows medai player. That is of course if you use windows medai player to play your medai files.

Or you can do right click the file -> Open With -> Choose Program... -> Select the program to open the filetype with and check the box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"

WMP is set to play all media files except those not supported by it and MP3s for me. Everytime the "Open With" box popped up, I would always choose to open it WMP from now on, but that never fixed the issue before. The only was I fixed it was to delete every instance (though you probably don't have to) of LegacyDisable found in my registry.

[Annoyance with media files]

Did anyone resolve this issue?

Or any other tips?

I'm having the same problem, its only withj WMP, not winamp or any other application..

I did what greenmachine said to do and just went through and deleted every one that I found and it fixed my problem.

[Annoyance with media files]

I believe you need to remove the "LegacyDisable" reg key. Search for it with RegEdit.

I ran a search and found a s*** load of'em. Do I need to delete each one of them or is there a certain one I need to delete?

[Annoyance with media files]

did you try to start the program it's supposed to run? That usually get the program to associate the file extension.

Tried that just now and I get the same thing.

[Annoyance with media files]

Same trouble here. The only files it plays without asking is MS media formats.

I get the issue even with MS Format =(

[Annoyance with media files]

What app do you use to play media files?

And do you have this problem only with video or also with music files?

I use WMP9 for my video files and Winamp for my audio.

This only happens with Video files.

[Annoyance with media files]

Everytime I try to open a media file (mpeg, wmv, etc.), windows xp always pops up the "Open With" dialog box. This just recently started happening with the new installation of SP2.

Has anyone else had this problem?

[Adding domain groups?]

Alright, I've tried a search and no luck. I'm hoping someone on the forums might know how I can add Domain Groups to the Adminstrator group. The only steps that I know that I must take so far is that I have to join my computer to the Domain first and then login to the domain, but there in lies the problem. After I join the domain, will I log into the domain on my first auto login or will it log me into the workstation only? Also, I can't figure out for the life of me how to add a domain group either!

[Local Users and Groups]

I've done a search on the forums, but no luck.

I'm working on an unattended install for work and what I want to do is create 2 users and add them to the admin group, but afterwards I want to add to network groups into the admin group also.

When I do this by hand, I have to login to the network and then add the group to the admin group. Is there a way to do this?
