I would like to connect to a client computer running Win2k Pro from a WinXP Pro client computer ... I have been utilizing VNC ... My understanding is that I can make the Win2k Pro client act as server to utilize terminal services in order to connect to that client computer ... how do I do that? I have installed the Win2k Admin Pack on the Win2k Pro client computer and see the available consoles ... remote routing connection, terminal services, etc. but do not know how to appropriately set them up. I like WinXP's Desktop Connection console which means I believe that terminal services must be built directly into the WinXP OS. ----------------------------------- Thanks for your help, Scott cableghost@hotmail.com PS. I used to be notified via email when someone replied to this post, but that has changed ... is there a setting of sorts that I should enable for this feature?

Ok, with some replies on other posts, I've figured that scripting is utilized to do this ... can anyone point me in the right direction for creating scripts? Is there an app out there that can create what I need through wizards or something ... I don't feel like learning to write script just for this. Thanks, Scott

I want to be able to right-click on a pic w/in a webpage and send it to my pic editor w/o having first to save the pic to disk. I know that MS PhotoDraw did this. So, how do you add a context menu item that allows you to do this? Scott/cableghost@hotmail.com

Is there any way, other than creating a shortcut, to set a Folder to lookup/view the contents of another folder? reason, I would like to keep files on my office network computer and then just sync them (and view them on a mapped drive/folder on my laptop), however, when I want to have them accessible from w/in My Documents, I can only cerate a shortcut to the networked/Mapped drive/folder. I wish I could create a folder that would have the same attributes as any other folder in My Documents, such as cascading menus from the Start Menu, etc. Thanks, Scott.

sound card was between graphics card and network ... I moved sound card 3 slots from other pci cards and I do get a dramatic decrease in the background noise, though not completely. Thanks guys!!! --------------------- Scott Regarding the Winamp question ... this was occuring no matter what I was using, even in the case of no music, if I turned up speakers, there was background noise, for which now is ok.

yes indeed- AudioPCI 64. I've checked at Creative website, and there are still no new drivers for my version (ES1370 engine)

Not sure if this is a XP isue or not. Whenever I turn up the computer volume (playing MP3, music CD, etc.), I get background noise- its like interference from my computer. This happens through desktop speakers or Headset connected directly to CDROM. Any thoughts on this? ------------- Thanks, Scott

Thanks, though I thought we were beyond that ... I recognize that this issue is probably somewhere w/in registry.

I don't think adjusting the refresh rates will do anything to display resolution. Again, with my Win98 machine, to make older games run in full-screen, 1024x768 for me, I simply modified a registry key that had the default display resolution ... I can't seem to find a similar reg key in WinXP. Maybe one of you can locate such a key ... I may not be looking under the right branch or something. ---------- Scott

Whenever I play an earlier game, say Tiger Woods 99, etc. ... my display is not maximized on the screen, and it seems to default to 640x480. My Question- how can I set Win XP display default to 1024x768? (outside of setting it in Display Options- that I'm aware of) Additionally, in Win98, there was a registry location to set default screen size/resolution that fixed this problem ... is there a similar local in WinXP? ------------- Thanks, Scott

This is weird ... in XP, when you insert a CD/other media, a menu pops-up now to ask which program you would like to open the media with/in. All of a sudden (and it could be after installing EZ CD Creator 5 P) that the icons have disappeared; the wording to choose is still there, but icons are gone. I have tried repairing icons with no such luck ... any suggestions?

I got it working again- I'm not certain what happened to bring the network offline in the first place, but I went through all the steps, such as permissions, ICS, etc. and re-created network and it works fine now ... go figure. ----------- Thanks, Scott

Thank you; I will try your suggestions and check out the sites noted. -------- Scott

I have a visual network connection established but can't share files or access other computers files/folders, or access internet at all. I have: 1. XP Pro desktop and XP Pro laptop connecting at home. 2. Established 'matching' usernames with matching passwords on both computers. 3. made the 100Mbps connection (icon shows computers connected) with cross-over. 4. setup/added a Home Network on both computers- 1 connecting directly to internet, the other connecting thru networked computer. 5. established sharing (not Simple Sharing) on a specific folder on both computers, with permissions to Administrators, Username, and System. 6. I have even tried by adding NetBUI. Is there something that I'm not doing or not doing right? ----------- Thanks, Scott

I just found a very simple way- its a tweak in TweakUI For WinXP; thank you for your replies. ------------- Scott

Does anyone know how to delete 'Files Stored on This Computer' in My Computer? Would the deleting Shared Docs tip do the same for the entire Files Stored... section?
