WinSurf is a productivity utility that runs on Windows XP and helps the user to quickly find files ,shortcuts, documents,favourites, music files and all
sort of items stored on their PCs in various locations such as the Start Menu, Internet Explorer Favourites, Documents, the Desktop, Admin Tools or any other folder.
My Favourites now contain hundreds of entries because it is somehow automatically adding them without me specifically doing so. I presume there is a way of stopping this. Does anybody know how?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using Windows XP Professional for several years and am quite happy with it. My roommate has a desktop that she bought some years ago and it came with Windows XP Starter Edition installed. Lately I've been trying to help her upgrade from her XP SE to XP Pro but before doing this I have some questions.Is Windows XP SE at all upgradable to XP Pro? The reason I ask this is because:1.1 I accessed "How to install or upgrade to Windows XP" on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316941, but it does not mention Windows XP Starter Edition as one of the options of OS to be upgraded (only mentions Win98, Windows ME and Windows 2000 Pro 1.2 I also accessed http://www.comztek.com/Admin/ProdMan...1.asp?name=228 and it says "You may not upgrade to Windows XP Professional from Windows XP Starter Edition,. as this goes against Microsoft's End User License Agreement (EULA) 2. In case Windows XP SE can in fact be upgraded to XP Pro, I have 2 questions:2.1 To start the installation should I simply boot the desktop normally and then insert the Win XP CD on the CD-ROM unit and choose the option "upgrade"?2.2 Will files in the desktop and installed programs be preserved? Or will my roommate need to install all the program she uses again? What about local files of Outlook Express and the MSN Messenger emoticons? Will these be lost?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just bought a hard drive to replace the small hard drive in my computer. I want to clone the old hard drive onto the new one. I found some very good directions on how to do this on the Internet and it says I need ultimate boot disk on a CD. I downloaded the ultimate boot disk to my computer and put the file on a CD. This is where I think I run into trouble. When I double-click on the file to expand it, it wants to install itself on the computer. Is that what it is supposed to do? I was expecting it to expand itself on the CD. I guess what I am asking is if it should expand on this CD, or do I have to install it on one of the hard drives when I am doing the cloning process? I hope somebody on here understands what I am trying to explain.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Windows XP SP2. Somehow Ultimate defender has claimed my system.I have scanned it housecall and stinger and regular micro trend full scan. They have not removed it. I then used combofix, it seemed to help, but I don't think it's all the way off. I see explorer.exe goes to 99% in the tak manager. When I bring up a ie browser, it tries to go to the ultimate defender page. I looked in the registry, I don't see any "ultimate" settings.Here is a hijackthis report after the combofix run.

When I put in my XP disc, it loads and states that "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.

I know people have downgraded this specific laptop before, as it is all over the internet but I can't find anyone else getting this error

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using Vista Ultimate 64 bit on my HDX 9001 tx notebook since over an year, and recently got fed up and downgraded it to XP.Strangely, the screen has become very dull. I remember XP had POWER SETTINGS, and the screen used to be dull if I used VISTA on "Save power" mode. But I am not sure why XP is running on this mode. I have checked all around, including POWER SETTINGS (which are different in XP and vista) but cannot find a solution.Yes I have downloaded and installed the graphic card drivers.
