View 14 RepliesHow do I stop certain system tray icons from hiding? I have tried the properties/customize/always show options but this does not seem to work. Also in this list here are a number of icons that belong to programs that are no longer on my laptop. Is there a way to:
1) edit this list
2) make certain icons always display (e.g. ac/battery) but hide others.
I've been having trouble with popups recently and can't seem to clear them. I updated both Spy Bot S&D and Ad-Aware, and ran some scans in safe-mode and a normal boot. I've also ran scans with Anti Virus which detected a couple of trojans.One of the main problems is a balloon popping up in the system tray (like in XP, although I'm using 2k Pro) telling me "Your computer might be at risk. Your virus protection status is bad. Spyware Activity Detected. Click this balloon to fix this problem".

View 3 Replies View Relatedwhen I start or restart my computer sometimes pops up an icon in the bottm right corner and a balloon saying my computer is at risk. I open it up and it opens the security center and it says I don't have any virus protection. I do and the one I have is Comodo antivirus. I know windows does not recognise this and I hit recomendations and I check the little box that says I am monitiring this myself. The problem is that in a few days it will pop this up again. Its not a big deal but it just makes me mad that I have to do this.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have created a folder in February 2009. Inside I have a Compressed (zipped) Folder containing 4 files that can only be opened with a password. Never had any problems until today: When I click on the zipped folder I get the following message: this page has an unspecified potential security risk. Would you like to continue? Of course I click yes and it will open without any problems at all. I also scanned with MacAfee anti virus and it is ok. If I move the all folder with copy/paste to drive D and the problem its gone.
Do you have any ideas?? Maybe happen to you too Yesterday I did tried to move the all DOCUMENTS (from the desktop) to drive D by using the Microsoft facility: right click on the folder-movebut at the end only My Pictures and My Music went on drive D and when I looked on the documents on C was nothing there. At this point I sent everything back (always with Microsoft facility) to the original location and since then I encountered the mentioned problem but all documents are back. And I was told this is so easy to do.
Anybody can help me pls. this is my problem.. how can I hide my hardrive in windows xp is such a way that kids cant open or format???
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.

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.

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.

My friend goes to college and is home for the holidays and asked me if I could find out what is wrong with his laptop.First you turn it on and there is a constant clciking noise but that I don't think is the main problem. when you turn it on it doesnt boot it goes right to a black screen with whitle letters and says this Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key Could I person put in an xp pro system disk and boot with that? He isn't home right now and I don't know if it is xp home or pro but I have a pro disk, it has not got a floppy drive so can't use floppies to boot with, So can I set the BIOS to boot from the cd-rom and try the xp pro disk? and if so what do I do after it boots? or can I click on I think it is F10 when starting and see if I can get to system recovery? and if so what do I do after I get there?
