I'm not sure if this should be under win10 or win11 category but I've had a couple computers now that after someone accepted the 11 update, the computer was back in to S-mode after reboot. Unfortunately this then made my remote management tools completely unusable. I ended up talking the person on the other end through adding an MS account and switching out of S-mode. Fortunately that user was also a local admin since these aren't domain connected. Anyone else run into this? Since then I've blocked, or at least hope I've blocked the win11 nag screen popups on the remaining computers as well as reminded people not to choose the update if asked.

I had to reinstall WinXP Pro recently. I haven't made any changes to my config from before. I have a Media device I use to stream downloaded TV Shows to my Living room TV that also hadn't changed config. The problem is that now when I browse the network through it I can see all the shared folders but can only see files if they are in WinXp's default "Shared Documents" folder. All other folders I can see but no files appear in them. My media device does give me an error saying that it can't connect to my network. I have tried resharing the folders multiple times. I have compared file sharing permissions on everything and they are all the same. Any ideas why only "Shared Documents" folder is fully accessible? Thank you.

In my town the cable recievers have a DVI or HDMI output. Since I have no use for a built in tuner, I was thinking about using an LCD monitor hooked up to the cable box. I'm curious if anyone on here has tried this. The one thing I'm not sure about is how the monitor will react to the different resolutions since most flat panel LCDs have different native resolutions then what a cable box would put out. I've never owned an LCD before so I don't know how they work with resolutions other then native.
