XP: 5 Questions nobody knows the answer

[Dogway]

I edited the post so I can gather some questions nobody knows to answer, probably not even microsoft people.

It's some kind of a second version of my previous similar thread.

1) why booting after a safe boot, or some modifications in msconfig yields some missing tray icons (wifi, Comodo Firewall, AVG antivirus...)

2) How can I tell XP that my shell and all icons are sRGB, so a proper conversion can be done to my WCG based monitor profile?

3) How can I remove folder thumbnails? and I repeat; ONLY folder (icon) thumbnails, when in thumbnail view mode?

4) How can I fix the DHCP 1003 error that disconnects my wifi? it happens randomly, but more oftenly when some intense tasks (rendering, browsing by images in google, etc)

5) Latest versions of Visual C++ Redistributables? (or why some programs won't work except using older still bugged versions)

Is it only me? or does it also happen to you?

Is this some kind of misterious known Windows bug no body knows how to fix? : /

Try autoruns from Microsoft. It does this in a better way.

Yes I know autoruns. But my question is about the bug. Also happens with safe boot. Is it only me?
