Is there a way to get each newly opened window, regardless of the program, to always open centered & 1244 x 700 in size? From what I can tell, there's no global setting for this in XP.
View 1 RepliesWhen i open any link with "open in new window" the new window is not full size screen window.Of course i dragged it by mouse many times and that should fix it later.It means it should be opened as it had been dragged,but that's never happened though i dragged it about a hundred time as a full screen size.What is the wrong here?

In the old Windows 2000, the Google page remains opened on the same window overlapping the myWin.doc window and no new window is opened.

Whenever I plug in my flash drive, the window size is max. I already have remember folder size enabled, but it appears that each of the scenerios above are not included in this "memory" So the question is, how do I set the default size for each of the above to something other that max?

View 11 Replies View RelatedShortcuts on the desktop (to websites) open a window at screen centre and perhaps one quarter screen size. They each must be maximised if each is opened with no other window open and maximised. If it is possible with tabbed browsing I would like these individual windows to open (the next time I use these shortcuts) to a size I create for them by dragging them to fill the screen, but I cannot achieve this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having problems whenever I leave my computer for more than a couple of hours.When I come back to it, it is sluggish or completely frozen and has to be rebooted.Then I am having trouble with only certain web sites running extremely slowly while most others run normally in IE7.As for my computer, it is 2 1/2 years old.It is a Gateway 3 GHz with 1 GB RAM, running XP Media Center.I also have an HP 3GHz with 2GB RAM with XP Media Center that I try to keep running for my husband, and a whole room full of ancient obsolete machines dating all the way back to windows 95.The HP is only 6 months old refurb.The two are networked together with a Netgear wireless router using the wired ports and Cox broadband access.They are firewalled behind the router and additionally, using Zone Alarm Pro.I am running the full suite of Zone Alarm security products including firewall virus protection and spyware removal tool on both.In addition I am running Webroot spyware removal tool on both and AOL spyware removal tool (which is due to expire soon.)All utilities run daily on both machines separately.Automatic updates for Windows is enabled on the HP because my husband can't be bothered with updates.On the Gateway I have the alerts enabled with the option to download and install windows updates at my discretion.
About two months ago, despite all the security software I have in place, two Trojans were discovered in the Gateway machine.Stupid me, instead of leaving them in quarantine, I deleted them, taking out a piece of my boot sector where they must have embedded themselves.It was telling me that the NTLDR file was missing among other things.I had been guilty of not doing regular backups and had an enormous amount of data on my hard drive.I had already purchased a large external storage unit including auto backup software with good intentions and then put it in the closet unopened for several months to be dealt with at a later date.At the first hint of trouble before deleting the Trojans I quickly dumped my documents and photos into my husbands computer, and just in time because I could not even boot into safe mode after I lost boot capability, and the machine was stuck in a continuous restart cycle.
I disabled the restart on boot failure option in setup and tried the System Restore option to try and repair the windows files, but it would not allow me to choose the non destructive restore option. It kept warning me that all my files would be deleted and gave me no other option than to say OK. Then at that point I would have to shut down the machine to get out of that screen and avoid starting the restore. I have an XP pro upgrade version disk that I purchased a few years back, but I can never get the files to all copy correctly for a clean windows install and I didn't know if it would repair a windows installation that had a restore partition loaded on the same hard drive.
While trying to add a DOS prompt to the Folder context menu. I seem to have inadvertently broken/deleted something in the registry.Whenever I now open a folder, it always opens in a new window, irrespective of the folder settings (in tools).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was trying to change the appearance of my icons via "Tools > Folder Options > File Types > Advanced > Change Icon". Next thing I know, every time I try to open a folder, it does a "Search" instead -- so I try to change this by adding a new "Action" (open).Now, what happens, (and which is my problem), is that a new window opens whenever I open a folder. The option for "Open each folder in the same window" is set.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI actually have 2 problems, which both, one of, or neither are the result of me using the DOS emulator for Windows DosBox.So here goes. First problem: With a complete disaccordance with my screen settings, my system tray icons are all coloured in 16 colors instead of 32 bit. Rest of applications and all other windows environment are fine. I fail to make any sense out of it.Second problem: Out of the blue, whenever I am double clicking on a folder, it opens in a new window instead of the old one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently reloaded windows xp from scratch in a 2004 dell inspiron laptop using Dell cd's. It was working fine with sp2, but later I added sp3 and now computer takes about 5 minutes to open an application (anything from MSOffice apps to web browsers to anything else. After it finally comes up, it works slow but doable.
I would like to know what are the things I should be looking at that could be slowing the process so much. Is sp3 related? I'd rater not remove sp3 since all the applications were loaded after sp3 was installed
I can't open a program I always use. I am told it is a 16 byte application.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy computer keeps freezing for no reason at all. It starts up normally, and everything loads just fine. I go to open MSN for example, it opens, but I try to do anything inside of that program like open up a new window and it freezes. I press end now and it doesn't close no matter what, even after hours. I minimize it, go to desktop, try to open a folder and explorer freezes. At this point nothing opens up nothing works and I restart.
I have restarted plenty and its the same story every time. I hadn't done anything different than I usually do with my computer. Just one morning I go to my computer and its been doing this non-stop ever since.When I start the computer in safe mode, this problem doesn't occur so its obviously software, but what could be causing this?
