How To Manage Program List
Oct 10, 2006
It is not a problem to me but im just curious why windows xp likes to arrange my newly installed programs at the end of the list. It used to be in alphabetical order, very nice and neat. Now its like the new ones would line up after, say windows media player. Whats governing how XP manage this kind of stuff. Through registry or some ini files.

When 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.

I have just installed a Program (Music Publisher) but it has not appeared on the Add/Remove List. The Program seems to be working OK and has its own uninstall feature so its not a problem why it does not appear on the XP Add/Remove List ?

This is probably something so simple you will think I am really stupid - well I'm not usually but I have the little knowledge of computers that is a famously dangerous thing. Also I have never been part of a forum like this before, so please bear with me. When I go in the start menu to programs I have so many that they won't all fit on screen and I can't move the window to view them all. Also I would like to organize them into a smaller number of folders, but I can't do that either.

I have a LOT of programs installed on my computer. When I click START/PROGRAMS the list is so long that I can't see all of the entries. What I would like to do is create groups i.e. Video, Still Photo, Microsoft, etc.

For the life of me I just don't remember how to put a program icon in the (All Programs) list. Start to All Programs. I tried using properties > customize, but no luck. Will make a note after words.

that would show me what services on my PC I would be safe in temporarily stopping? I'm having some jitter in the capture of video through VIVO that I'm attributing to too many services running at once and using up so much resource. I can see it well enough in the final DVD production being played on a home DVD player that it is annoying. I can easily suspend the usual programs like anti-virus and such but there are a boatload of other services that run. If anyone knows of a program or a list that would indicate to me what services are mandatory.

I recently deleted a Trojan virus from my computer, and thought I was all smart for being able to do so, but to my dismay, I opened my Start Menu to find that The "All Programs" button had somehow been removed from the start menu.Any ideas on how to get it back would be greatly appreciated. My English teacher doesn't seem like the type I could use the "My computer broke " excuse on.

I downloaded it and decided to install But the computer froze near the end and I had to crash it down
It took ages to re start and said it was unstable and to delete it from Add Remove programs
Went to do this and it showed me a long list of programs that would not work if I did

I'm not sure where to ask this, but How do I manage to get the same layout as this forum? i.e. the post headers on the left side and the reply on the right. Is there a simple table format I can code into a template All forums should be laid out this way IMHO. The forum developers have all went for the wrong format, meaning we do double the clicking or unnecessary scrolling. This is the correct format (except they seem to load all replies in the thread when we unfold a thread, which means wasting time waiting for all the replies to load)

Normally it connects to Orange BroadBand (ex Wanadoo, ex Freeserve) using its ADSL Speedtouch modem but while it's on my network I'm wanting it to use my network connection.However I try,any attempt to browse the iNet is met with it trying to connect via its dialup ADSL connection I've got connection settings to say don't bother).ipconfig /all reveals exactly what I'd expect for the LAN connection, DNS server is fine, etc. and I can ping an IP address but when I try to ping a hostname it says it doesn't know anything about that name, i.e. it's not managing to get the IP address from the DNS servers (I've also tried specifying other servers).

I use Network Places in xp prosp2 to manage files on my website via FTP. I can rename and delete files on the server and copy files from the HD onto the server. However I can not move or copy files from within the server. Nor can I save a file directly onto the server from within another application.

I am trying to go from a single monitor to a dual monitor. My present graphic card is integrated on to my motherboard. I have another old graphic card a PCI S3 Virge. The problem with this graphic card is that its driver is not supported by Windows XP.If I disable my graphic card on my motherboard.I can manage to get
this PCI graphic card to work.If I hook up both the graphic cards i.e. both of them are enabled,the computer does not manage to boot (except in safe mode.) It should also be mentioned that when my PCI card is plugged in the computer at time of booting uses it and not the monitor plugged into the graphic card attached to the motherboard. Is there a way to change this.I tried messing with i.e. all possible combinations of values in the BIOS, but nothing seems to work. I would be grateful if someone had some idea on what to try.

I recently installed Mcafee. I defraged my computer and restarted it. When it loaded up I noticed that everything is taking 2x as long to load and it is taking long time to even get the start button list up. I was able to get into the add/remove program list but nothing was there. I waited for about 10 minutes and then nothing still, I don't know any other way to remove McAfee, how to remove McAfee, add/remove program list won't work here.

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?
