I am running XP Pro SP3. From Windows Explorer, if I were to click on File > New, I am met with a list that includes Folder and Shortcut, followed by a large number of entities corresponding to files types. E.g., Microsoft Office 2007 Database, Briefcase, Microsoft Office Word Document, etc. These file type entries I never use.Where is this list maintained, and how can I remove most if not all of the file type entries contained therein?

How can I get my XP theme and Classic theme options to return to the pull-down menu in the themes tab of the display properties window.I don't know what I did but my pc went all funny and they just vanished in a blink of an eye. Could someone experienced in this type of problem please help me find where they are and help me return them as an option.
View 4 Replies View RelatedBack in my MS-DOS days I could get the directory of a folder and direct it to a text file. Now I'd like to do that again, but I can't figure out to make it work in Windows Explorer (for XP, but I also have Vista on my notebook).Do I have to run a DOS window. Is the syntax the same? (Can I remember it?) Are there any shareware or freeware program managers that provide this function?
I just added a "Directory List Print" to my right click options and somehow the default choice (highlighted at the top of the list) changed from "open" to "search".
Apparently the default selection governs what happens when you left click. I want to restore "open" as the default choice, but can't figure out how. Does it require a reg edit or a utility program or what? TIA
Outlook Express folder list and Contacts list are not showing. I've walked her through the process of clicking on View at the top of the Outlook Express Interface and setting the Layout items so that her Contacts and Folder list should be on the screen, but they are not. I've tried everything I can think of to rectify the situation and I've run out of options. The way it is without her folders list she cannot access her deleted folder and her sent folder and cannot delete anything from those folders. Is there anything else I can do to bring up those her contacts list and her folders list?

It used to be 2 listings, when the 1st had enough, the second listing would be next to it. However it's all in a single listing now. How can I get it back to 2 lists??
This is a clear explanation.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA little while ago I transferred some of my CD and vinyl collection on to my PC using Windows Media Player 9+, all in all about 1500 songs transferred
randomly, everything went fine.
I then copied these tracks over to my music folder in my Documents, from there sorted them into year or artist by making folders.
So for example, I might have 50 track's of various artists from the Fifties
so I created a Fifties folder the same for the Thirties, Forties Sixties and
so on. Where I have 50 tracks by the same artist, Buddy Holly or the Trogs I have created a folder called Buddy Holly or the Trogs and so on and I have no problem listening to any track on my PC via WMP
My questions are, when I open WMP, click media library, then click all music,
in the left-hand column I can see all my tracks either under artist, album,
or
genre but it's not how I want it.
Where I can find a list of 'Run' commands and what these do?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have tried searching this forum and did some Googling but haven't seen a cure for this. I have a pretty fair amount of programs installed and my 'all programs' list is pretty long. The problem is it takes almost 30 seconds to scroll from the top to the bottom, which is annoying when I want to start a program that's at the bottom (or top) of the list. Does anyone know of a registry hack or something that can speed it up?

Is there a way to remove certain things from the Add/Remove Programs file list? I've manually deleted about seven programs, because their Uninstall would not startup, but the programs stay on the list.

Terminating thread due to a stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in SYSTEM.INI or remove recently installed VxD's. There are currently 15 SPs allocated. Press any Key to continue.
When I press any key I get the following error message:
There are no spare stack pages. It may be necessary to increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in SYSTEM.INI to prevent possible stacks faults. There are currently 16 SPs allocated. Press any Key to continue.
When I press any key I get the first error message again and again. The number of SPs allocated in the error message keeps increasing every time I press a Key.
The only way to acces my PC is with the SAFE Mode.
If there is a trick or program that will let me get a list of all the programs in my add/remove programs list

View 11 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to the start button and click on all programs a screen comes up with all my programs. The problem with this is that I can't see all of my programs. Win XP Pro creates a screen that is not wide enough to display all my programs. My question is there a way to move the left edge of the screen to the left edge on my monitor so I can see all my programs. This screen doesn't go to the left edge of my monitor and you can't just click on the left edge and drag it to the left. It doesn't move. There should be a piece of code that tell XP where to display on screen. Can I get access to this code and move the left edge of this screen to the left as far as possible? I have approximately 115 programs and XP displays 3 columns plus a half of another column that I can only read a few letters in the forth column. Can the width of these columns also be made smaller so that I could view all of them? I'm sure there is a way to do this but I have never seen this problem addressed anywhere.
