View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a major problem. I used Partition Magic 8 last night and the program crashed halfwayn through. Now i am getting a blue screen on startup probably because of damaged sectors. I am unable to start xp to run a chkdsk or to install any partition doctor type tools I then decided to re-install my Xp. But during the start stages before installation an error comes up saying there is no hardrive on your computer. please make sure it is switched on or presesnt(or something like that)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with how my desktop is displaying in windows XP. Anytime I open a new window, then close it or minimize it to the task bar, the desktop disapears. I have to right click on the taskbar and click on the option to 'show desktop'. This is so friggin annoying and I have no clue how to keep the desk top displaying at all times. I'm sure its an easy fix, but, I am just too frazzled to figure it out at this time.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI´m looking to hide the whole boot sequence, meaning that I don´t want to disable memory tests and other things in the BIOS, just hide it visually.. The same goes for the windows XP boot screen.. I want to keep it all from being displayed; only let it run in the background and just display things when the system is up and running..
Any tips or links for this?

Down to the step where is says "Hiding the Recycle Bin," I want to make sure that this will work even though he article is five years old.
An easy way to hide the Recycle Bin is just to create two .reg files.... open your notepad and copy and paste the listing below and save it as Hidebin.reg and click the .reg file to enter it into the registry. You have to refresh the desktop to see the changes.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIcons]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIconsClassicStartMenu]"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

To bring back the Recycle Bin, open notepad and copy and paste the listing below and save it as Showbin.reg and click the .reg file to enter it into the registry, once again refresh the desktop to see the changes.

The thing constantly appears at the bottom right corner of my screen.I'm not the original PC owner (was second hand) so I'm not sure about the origins of the software.However, I'm not interested, and would like to hide this message.When I visit the site it sends me to, it won't let me select the option to simply hide it.

View 2 Replies View Relatedsolution for hiding file extensions for known file types... even after reboot? I know nobody likes to hide them, but I do and I have tried EVERYTHING! I have checked it under Folder Options, I have tried setting it in my registry, I have increased BagMRU Size to 8000+, I have even tried silly batch files suggested through web page research and no matter what I do windows xp pro will never remember the setting after reboot and show the extensions. Is there anyway to fix this annoying problem so what I set in folder options or in my registry remains as I have set it after reboot.
