I had a probem a few days ago with my mail being pilfered from my server acct by WM. I got some brilliant advice about setting for a copy to be left on my server. That worked fabulously for the last few days but it has gone to hell this afternoon. Again my email server doesn't have a copy and my email has disappeared in WM without a trace. Any thoughts on how I can find my emails and make a permanent fix?
I have Vista Home edition, in the past with XP, I was able to "hide" the Administrator account, so it would not be seen at login. I tried this with Vista and I have locked myself out. Is there anyway I can get back in and change the registry back to it's original configuration? These are the instructions I used to "hide" the Admin account. The administrator on this particular machine is named "Owner". Can I enable the built in "Administrator" account?
I have this annoying windows firewall box that pops up about every 15 minutes or so and i am starting to get really annoyed. The attached picture shows everything. I had Avast! when it stared and that didnt catch anything in real-time if my full system scan. I also downloaded spybot and that didnot come up with anything in my full system scan. Now i have downloaded comodo and there is nothing that has come up so far. How should i go about this? how do i stop comodo from haveing a popup box everytime i run something(it feels like every time i click the mouse for a program i have to approve about 5 other things with comodo before i can actually get to the program or task i am doing.)
I have installed some programs on the computer of my kids and I dont want them to fiddle with their icons which are found near the time they are closing the programs all the time. I dont even want to hide the icons, I want them gone from the taskbar without effecting the operation of the program. I know XP allows icons to be always hidden but then you can reveal them by clicking on the small arrow buttons i dont want that, just want them gone.
Does anyone know how I could hide the various, non-deleteable foreign language fonts so they won't show up in my drop-down fonts lists? scrolling through all these useless fonts takes a lot of time, and I'll never use them. I tried to delete them, even when logged in as owner and administrator, taking ownership, etc., but have found no solution myself after trying all the solutions that were posted on this forum.
I am looking for a way to completely and totally hide icons in the System Tray area. I'm already aware of Window's "Hide inactive icons" ability, but this is not what I am looking for. I want a program that will completely hide/remove the icons I specify from the System Tray, while still allowing the programs they are associated with to run. I've done a lot of searching, but haven't found anything useful. The best example I can give you guys is a program called HideSRHI.exe which hides the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. I need something similar to that program, but which will allow me to specify what icons to remove.

For the last couple of weeks when I receive mail with attached pdf files, if I try to move or delete the mail Windows Mail hangs. Sometime it recovers but otherwise I need to kill it. I can open the attachment by clicking on the paper clip etc and everything seems fine so I don't think it's a security thing.
Using Easy File Transfer, how can I transfer just my e-mail settings from OE6 to Windows Mail? Everything else I "need" to move I can move by other means that I have already tested. E-mail is my only problem child.

Starting about 2 weeks ago, I can't open attachments in Windows Mail. Message says "command failed to execute" I have been reading the posts and still don't know what to do. How do I know if IE8 has been installed as an update? I'm inexperienced with technical stuff. I don't think I installed it, could it have installed on it's own as an update? Tried saving them to desktop but don't know how to separate them from the e-mail, so they still don't open.
every time it opens it says its not the default. I can go to options and click make default which it accepts but after presing OK and reopening options it says again it is not the default mail handler I had thought that this ptoblem was linked to have outlook installed I have uninstalled this now and rebnooted but the problem persists linked to this problem perhaps is the fact that internet options only sees windows mail as a news handler

My main 'gripe' is if I am in Windows Mail, send an email - it sends, then immediately jumps to the browser, leaving Mail. I have to go back into mail. The system seems to have a mind of it's own. What do I do to get to STAY in Mail, rather than the window of the browser bounce back?
