Where To Find Setting For Documents And Setting

Oct 5, 2008

I just finished a complete reinstall of Windows XP. Before the re-installation, I partitioned the hard drive. I want the basic Windows XP system files and drivers on my "C" drive and then I want to accumulate data files (word processing, spreadsheets, photos, music files, etc.) on the new partition which in this case has been labeled the "G" drive. The difficulty I am having is getting getting the "Documents and Settings" to move over to the "G" drive. So that when I want to load photographs from my camera to the computer it goes for C:Documents and SettingsMy NameMy DocumentsMy Pictures. Instead I would like it to go to G:Documents and SettingsMy NameMy DocumentsMy Pictures. Using Windows Explorer I changed the file name of "My Documents" to 'Windows XP old path My Documents" and then I was going to set up a new path to the "G" drive through Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Managment>Disk Management.

However I noticed that when I clicked on Start in the bottom left hand corner and it puts up that little window that "My Documents" which was listed now had the new title 'Windows XP old path My Documents' which I believe means I haven't gotten to the proper place to change the main configuration for Documents and Settings. Long way of saying how do I change the basic configuration for where Document and Settings are stored to a new location.

Help Setting Up A VPN Connection

May 18, 2005

What info do I need on the server side to allow access to the client computer. I know in xp (the server) in this case, you can allow users access by adding them and giving them access. Just wondering what kind of info I add on the server side for the client to have access.. Do i put in the client computer name, workgroup or Ip address? Internal IP address or external? I'm basically trying to setup a connection to allow me to use remote desktop from work to access my home PC. Home PC is using xp pro and work PC is using Win98. I've already setup the VPN connection at work (win98), just need more info on setting up the Host PC. Like what exact info I need from the client PC, to add this info to allow access to my Host..

I installed a new software, Volkswagen ETKA 7 from Germany. After installing, it appears as if it took away my administrators privileges. I cannot right click, all of my autocomplete fileds are gone including passwords, IE7 will not let me change any setting, lost my favorites, lost my icons for OE and many others. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I am still logged in as system administartor, but I do not have all of the priveleges I should. I just noticed the Content Advisor in IE7 is greyed out. Someone knows how to fix this. Please help. I have since uninstalled the VW ETKA7 software.

Seagate HD Not Setting DMA Mode

Nov 20, 2007

XP Home, Asus P4C800-E MB, 2 hard drives on IDE 1: both work fine at UDMA 6.Second IDE has my DVD burner in the master position and works fine at UDMA 4.I'm using the proper cable, plus I also tried a new one when installing the drive. I installed a 320 gb Seagate ST3320620A ATA100 into the Secondary Slave position and jumpered it as shown on Seagate's website (no jumpers). I made three partitions, and formatted them as per instructions in XP's Disk Management. They all show as 'healthy' in Windows. The only thing is that my computer has slowed to a crawl, with a re-boot taking about 7 minutes. I checked Dev. Mgr. and saw that the burner was at UDMA 4, but the new drive was at PIO mode, even though 'DMA if available' was selected. I tried Bob's suggestion of changing the settings back and forth and also deleting the secondary IDE channel and rebooting, but nothing works. It remains in PIO mode. I checked all the settings in the bios and they seem correct. Tried alternatives too, but it didn't change anything. On bootup, the bios screen shows all the drives correctly, the drive in question as UDMA 5. I have Windows 98SE on drive 1 on the Primary IDE with Windows XP Home on the second drive, to allow a dual boot. It has worked well until I tried installing this new hard drive. I removed it and installed it in a second machine and it is the Master on the Secondary IDE, with nothing in the slave position. Still in PIO mode. This other machine is also a dual-boot with 98SE on the first HD and XP Pro on the second, both on the Primary IDE.The 3 partitions are in NTFS format and all drives are visible in Dev. Mgr. and all partitions are visible in My Computer.

I have two computers wireless connected. What I now want to do it set up a password so hacking into the system by outsiders is as difficult as possible.

Can anyone give me some not too technical advice that will help me do this please?

Setting Up A Virtual PC On Proceeding.

Apr 14, 2007

Setting up the first one, get to the DOS like screen. There is a message about setting up a file in a virtual CD.Guessing that it needs/wants to install an OP Sys, thus I select the CD drive [M, in my case]. Put my XP Pro CD in my real CD drive. I get the screen about installing XP. Then I get scared. Get two options, forget the exact words, but basically a new install or reinstall. What I have no idea about is whether this is about to reinstall my actual Op Sys [which in no way do I want to do], or is this for the peupose of installing it to the Virtual machine.

Setting Up An Old User On A New Machine

Aug 16, 2007

If anyone read my opening posts yesterday, you'll now that i recently bought a new computer as my previous one decided to die on me. I've had my last PC for about 5 years now and, as you can imagine, i would have set it up and organised it according to my needs.Having bought a new computer, I am really suffering trying to get things set up as they were and wondered if there was any short cut that would allow me to get my old set-up as quickly and painlessly as possible.Both the old machine and this one are running XP and I have the old hard-drive sitting on this one as an external hard-drive.

Setting Up A Home Network On XP

May 14, 2008

I'm having issues setting up a home network with printers and hard drives all shared on a wireless local area network.Let's get the specifics out of the way first. Three computers, two desktops and a laptop are running XP home and pro, respectively. My computer dual-boots Ubuntu and Windows XP (but for now mainly XP). Also, (if it matters) I have a WRT54G Linksys router.Now, I have every computer on the same workgroup (NATENET). Every computer has their hard drive and printer set to "shared," and these drives and printers should be accessible. However, when any of the computers goes to "My Network Places," no hard drives are viewable. Also, when you hit "view workgroup computers," you can look at all the computers connected to the network; however, when you double click any computer to open it, it claims that it is unaccessible and the computer doesn't have the permissions necessary to open up the computer's directories.

Setting Administrator Password

Mar 23, 2003

Okay, Well this is very easy and does not involve rebooting or logging off, BUT it requires Administrative Access. #1. Open up Command Prompt. #2. type in "net user Administrator (Password goes here)" (Without the quotes, And put in a password in place of the "(Password goes here)") So lets say you want to set the password to "computers", You would then type in: net user Administrator computers Simple as that! And doesn't involve rebooting!
