Possibly overkill, possibly a good habit to practice cleaning those files. It's not that I go anywhere I shouldn't be but I didn't like to find out that my habits were being written to many places not easy to clear out. You have the literal solution but why go through all the steps when it's just as easy to get a program to do everything for you whenever you need. Just my opinion. Some of the suggested programs mark spam and do other things more advanced. It's better to know your options... Trackless clears history, index.dat and autocomplete. Small and free. It's got 3 buttons.

Here is some software that does it. I've seen a piece of hardware that would do it. I've never seen XP do it by itself before but i've only tried doing this with a Mac. I think it should work from PC 2 PC. Even in ME with without additional software. It creates a private network and I suspose you could bridge it into your internet connection. 15 ft is the distance limit without fibre repeaters. Maybe you could find the info you need here. http://www.homenethelp.com/network/firewire.asp http://www.unibrain.com/1394_products/1394.../firenet_pc.htm hmm maybe this? http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/18758

NT4 Rocks. I used that for years and skipped the whole ME fiasco. Pinacle of the 98 series? Hahaha Not for a business... Job security I agree with... 98SE is good but I found it to be virus prone for my needs with the tools available at the time... I've sucessfully run DOS apps in ME but they didn't need special drivers I never hated it for that... If I could go back and do it all over again I think i'd buy a Mac with a PC card & dualboot OS/2 Warp & System 8. hahaha

that's the fix? hmmm... will it spawn a new window each time I click a link in Outlook Express?

If the two machines in question were both directly connected to the internet with real ip addresses it would be simple to do it the way you suggested with no extra software. Disable firewalls and bombs away... \\RealIP\sharename Secuirty Risk is an understatement though depending on how you connect to the Internet. With Windows hidden shares and all that. Make sure all shares on your machines are locked down if you were to do it this way. If the server machine is behind a corporate firewall then good luck to ya... You may run into problems.

He asked for a way without changing the file properties. How long does it take to do what you are talking about? My way isn't the best but it only take half a second to turn up the volume... A slower computer processing a DVD might take days to redo.

Do you have indentical user accounts on both machines? And an exception in the firewall for File & Print Sharing?

You could try downloading SafeXP and use that to see if File Sharing has been diabled. If that option it is checked in SafeXP, uncheck it. http://www.theorica.net/safexp.htm

My way is good to for making tapes. The original reason I used that setup. The volume levels are different in most music, a record meter will let you gague the music levels so do avoid the distortion I get with using a software based AMP to make things louder.

Outlook Express from the command line... http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=192341 hope this helps... you could run it from a batch file using variables for input if the command is too long...

Hope this explains... 638 bytes (638 bytes) size 4.00 KB (4,096 bytes) size on disk even though the shortcut I got these numbers from is only 638 bytes in size. it still take up the default block size on the disk which is 4096. The more files you have the more space that is wasted. I only know how to make the block size smaller when formating for Linux. I'm not sure if Windows can use different size blocks. The size on disk will always be a multiple of 4096. added oops too slow...

Content.ie5 folder is not the only place index.dat resides. Trackless cleans 7 or 8 index.dat files. There is one under cookies, user data, history i think, whereever else they try to hide it so the info isn't easily cleared.

I still don't believe that will work without the FTP being hosted on a Windows-based server with NETBEUI running. That simply opens it into Internet Explorer.

hmm this is a crappy suggestion but it's what I do. I bought a Y cable from radio shack. It converts stereo headphone jack input to RCA (left/right audio) and I plug it into my tape deck. I keep my tape deck on record and pause. I can use the record level dial on the tape deck to adjust volume as well as my main stereo volume and from my EQ. The basics are Y cable to stereo. This will greatly improve sound quality. Your computer is an amplifier. I don't get sound without my stereo on.

You would need a TCP/IP Suite to do what you want to a Unix/otheros FTP server. Something that would give you NFS support as well probably. Something like Esker Tun that I know of but I know nothing free. You can only connect to other FTPs by going through Internet Explorer and dealing with logons through there without third party software unless someone else is familiar with a workaround. Quote from that link "providing the machine runs both NetBEUI and TCP/IP"

Have you checked the BIOS (hit f10 or delete on startup before Windows begins) for the Floppy seek on startup option? I think there should be something for that in there. Look around but don't change things you don't understand. hehe

I like All-in-One Secretmaker for that sort of thing. It's free. http://www.secretmaker.com/ This program gets at the index.dat files. http://www.boutell.com/trackless/ View index.dat http://www.sharewareconnection.com/downloa...m-sharecon.html

Go to Tools --> Internet Options. Click on Clear History & Delete Temporary Files. That should do the trick.

Does anyone know of a fix for the bug that prevents Firefox from opening through Outlook Express except in a few situtations when firefox is already open. I would like Outlook Express to spawn a new Firefox window everytime I click a link and not reuse windows I am currently reading or using. My association to Internet Shortcut is rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l. What should I replace that with to spawn Firefox? That could be part of the problem but why doesn't Firefox set this one? Thanks for any help.

Ugh I misread I thought you set up the scheduler to run the location the shortcut pointed to, which is the .exe. If you are already using the shortcut itself then yes try the other way and point to the exe. If you right-click on the shortcut and copy the run location from the shortcut if you can't find it by browsing. Then paste the location into the scheduler, that should work. I suggested checking the start in directory because you probably have more than one config file hanging around. Try Shareaza maybe too. It won't fix your sched problem but it searches kazaa, torrents, gnutella, & edonkey p2p networks all at the same time. I've heard good things from people about it.

You could try XP-Antispy. This has an option to enable/disable activex.

You could try SafeXP for all your disabling/enabling needs... or alot anyway. http://www.theorica.net/safexp.htm

Have you tried a new mouse? Or a manual Windows update and downoad the drivers.

I could be wrong but the Tablet version of Windows is different from the main stream windows. You need a tablet os first and then XP SP2 should do something for you. Only as an upgrade as far as I know.

Can you set the Start in folder as well with this program? You might want to check where that is pointed or run the shortcut instead of the executable from the sched.
