Hi, does any one know why windows explorer in windows xp hide the status bar by default? When you start new windows xp there is not status bar. From windows 95 until windows 2000 the status bar of windows explorer is display by default and the tree view has a line to indicate the level of folder which is difference from windows xp.

Memmory useage. If you install a lot of stuff on your machine, test out a lot of programs, that could be what is slowing you down. Another possibility is Spyware and Adware. To make it faster, try reinstalling your OS. I have to do that from time to time.

Hi, I have a problem with MS-DOS prompt in windows 98. When I use DOS command (which stand on windows) when I pressed the “/” it display “-“ for example when I type the following command “dir /a” it display “dir –a”. I have check in the keyboard language but it still remains in English-United State. When I return to Ms Word, everything is fine. I don’t know why it become like that but it is really made me difficult to work with MS-DOS.

Hi, I have a problem when I install the new CD writer into my computer. I use CD writer sony crx1611 with main board Intel Celeron 2 GHZ. Before I start to install windows I configure some configuration in CMOS. Before and after install the operating system on my computer when I start or restart the computer the CD tray (the place to hold the CD) always come out for 2 or 3 second and get in again. I don’t know why it becomes like that? It is not a big problem but it made me annoyed when it comes out every time when the computer is started or restarted.

It's no wonder your PC has been slowing down! You've got a Celeron! Oh man I feel sorry for you. Next time, get a P4, or something else, but the worst you can get is a Celeron. Even AMD is better.

On the site you have written a program that will ID the Operating system. Can I use this to scan my entire Network,and if so will it work in ID'ing all different operating systems?
Thank You,

Hi all. I've got a user whose running Windows 2000, SP3. She was attacked by a Trojan called Download.Trojan that reset her IE home page, and installed the following files on her PC under WinNT\System32, including a batch file to download these files off the net, and execute them:
install2.exe
infamous_downloader.exe
0021-bdl94126.EXE
CS4P028.exe
silent.exe
I deleted the files, and reset her IE home page, but now she can't connect to the internet at all. She can browse the network, check her Exchange email from Outlook, and such. She just can't browse the internet. I reinstalled SP3, deleted and reinstalled her TCP/IP connection, and even tried giving her a static IP address (normally, our users have dynamically assigned IP's).
Anybody familiar with this?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried clearing the cache in IE? Delete all temporary files, cookies, and any offline content; sometimes this restores IE to a working state after an infection is cleared out.
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Yup, tried all that. End solution: rebuilt her system from scratch.  Not a terribly complex thing, of course, but should not have been necessary. Oh well.
Thanks for the advice.

Some spyware puts itself in the Winsock LSP (layered service provider) list. If you just nuke the files without repairing that list too, you may end up in just your situation. I did some quick searches but couldn't find good info on LSPs; your best bet is probably to use AdAware or Spybot.

Thanks, Michael. I didn't check the Winsock LSP, but did use both AdAware and Spybot, to no avail. Stupid question: what is the Winsock LSP? I know what Winsock, just not the LSP. Where do I find it?
Thanks.

We have a standard Windows application running on Win2K+ OSes. One of our customers has a special requirement where he needs touch screen monitors. So, my query is regarding the compatibility of my app. Will it require any changes, or does Windows handle it by itself, or do I require any third-party software? Some basic issues like how is right-click handled are not clear to me.
Can somebody provide me with some insight into this?
Thanks,
Krishnan

My application uses a touch screen from ELO TouchSystems[^]. With ELO, your application doesn't know that the touchscreen is installed. The touchscreen works in parallel with or in place of a mouse. The touchscreen can perform single clicks, double clicks, and drag and drop operations. There is no way to implement right click operations using the touch screen only, unless you place a touch area (a button) that means "perform a right click on the point I was last touching", which isn't very intuitive.
The biggest modification you have to make to your application is to make windows and controls touchable. This usually means making them larger, and making their touchable areas obvious to the user. I've found that a 'metric' value of min(screen width,screen height)/12 is a good minimum size for a comfortable control.
Push buttons are easy; just make them bigger. Radio buttons and check boxes work better if they are made larger, and they are given the WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME extended style. This gives them a raised edge look that gives the user an indication of the touchable area for the control.
Edit controls require an on-screen keyboard. I've made mine task-specific, so I use a numeric spin button, a numeric keypad, or a full alphanumeric keypad depending upon the contents of the edit control.
Scroll bars and track bars are more difficult. The sizes of the Windows scroll bar controls are fixed by the system metrics values. You can increase the size, and Windows displays the scroll bar at the larger size, but it doesn't scale the arrows well, which is ugly. The thumb control for the track bar doesn't appear to resize up to a touchable size. I ended up writing my own scroll bar and track bar controls that sized appropriately.

That's useful to know, particularly the link to ELO, who have international resellers. I like the idea of an on-screen numeric keypad, but I'm not sure I'd want to use a full alphanumeric one!
Is your keypad simulating a staggered qwerty, or is it more rectangular? Don't suppose it makes that much difference to the user, since touch-typing (in the conventional sense) isn't likely to happen!

The alphanumeric keyboard is a staggered QWERTY. The keyboard is a relatively simple dialog box, and the keys are pushbutton controls. One important note: the pushbutton controls are a little unusual. Normal pushbuttons issue a BN_CLICKED notification when the button is released. The pushbuttons I use in my keyboard and numeric keypad issue a notification when the button is pressed. This results in a much more natural feel, in terms of the onscreen keyboard feeling like a real one.

I am currently accessing the internet through a proxy server. However, I can't seem to get any IM (MSN,Yahoo, ICQ, etc.) to connect using the same proxy.
Is there anything else I'm missing?

Sorry if this is the obvious, but did you configure access to each of the programs? (They don't run off the Windows proxy settings)... Make sure you've selected the correct proxy type (Mine is HTTP) and that should be over port 80.

Yeah, I did. Didn't help though.

IE Works though or no? The only other thing I can think of is if you are running over port 80 and have IIS installed then it can't route traffic beacuse you already have something using port 80. What kind of proxy server is it? A service or just a free proxy or what?
