View 4 Replies View Relatedi moved some picture files onto sister's desktop from my computer so that i could print them out. normally i would just print them but our network has been having problems and i was cut off from the printer but not her computer. i figured i would delete the folder. most of the files deleted but a handful will not allow me to delet them.
is it a virus, a worm, do i have adware or spyware that is not being detected on this machine? (i have run spybot and adaware twice after making sure i had them updated).
also i cannot access certain site using IE but i can access them using aol browser. for example, i cannot access eBay with IE, but i can with AOL but i cannot sign in. could this be a symptom of the problem. i donot have a firewall on this machine.it is a Dell Dimension 8400 with XP home.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my WinXPSP2 In msconfig, I have several items ticked and several items unticked. These unticked items don't load at startup, but I'm guessing the system still spends time checking that they DON'T need to be loaded. The system takes long time to start up. (Dont need to check hijack this & viruses, we've been through all of that on here already).
Nomally, in the Windows Current Version registry key there is an entry "Run" for those items ticked to start up and a key "Run -" where the non-starting up items are listed. However I don't have the Run - key, therefore I can't delete these items.
I suspect that previously when there were some items I wished to delete, I might have deleted the whole key rather than the individual items in it.
I thought this key would automatically be regenerated - but obviously not.
Can anyone help me - I'm not sure whether it's Run- or Run - with a space - and should it be in the local machine set, the local user set or both? Do I just type it back in & will these unticked items then appear in it? Or would only newly unticked items appear in it? How else can I delete these items that are unticked in msconfig which I wish to remove?
When I right-click, and choose "Remove from this list", nothing happens.

I would like to delete the two items:
Get picture from camera or scanner
Order prints online
tell me the location of the key in the registry, I don't want to install any soft that, will solve this problem and create a new one.
Problem 2: The view preference "thumbnails" in my picture folder is never saved! Each time I open the folder I have to set it on again! The problem is that my pict folder is not in the System disk.
I'm wanting to write a macro that will run when I start my computer or shutdown my computer. Here's the deal, I use netzero as my ISP. Netzero is constantly downloading ads that show up when I go to log on. Now the ads are using audio which is even more annoying. Anyway, I found out where the files are kept and I know the names. I'd like to write a file that auto exe's when I turn on or off the computer. It would also be nice to have a function key that would operate the auto delete. Any ideas on how to make this work?

View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently reinstalled Windows.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHave Win2K/IE6...how do I delete unwanted menu items from the Right Click "Save Image As" menu? The number of items causes the menu box to be either top justified or bottom justified, depending on where the cursor is located when the right click button is used. I am therefore having to move the cursor all over the screen to chase the desired "save Image" command. Also, with IE6, several menu items have been added (over IE5)....but, I am NEVER going to "email picture", "print picture", nor "go to my pictures" from this menu box. I could delete 7 of these pesky items, if I knew how, thus making this a much more user friendly menu box.

View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to add items to the section of the start menu with all the "MY" folders? I want to add my games and toolbox. I don't want them 'pinned to the start menu' because they will open in a window and I want them in a list, like in the advanced start menu controls. I read somewhere how to do this, but I don't remember where.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a very large, corrupt disc image on my hard drive that I want to delete, but every time I try to delete it Windows displays the message "Cannot delete 'filename': it is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again." The disc image is not mounted with any program, and hasn't been for some time. I tried aborting random processes that I thought might have something to do with the file, as well as restarting. No matter what I do, there seems to be something using the file. Are there any tricks to getting around this so I can delete it? Can I check, somehow, to see what program is using it?

Also, when I try to hibernate the machine if any programs are running it will say I don't have enough memory (I have 2GB in a Gateway 506GR, Pentium 4, 3400 Mhz running XP Home Edition).
