Create Groups And Organizing File Groups In XP?
Mar 31, 2008
I really like the Luna interface, and how well-organized the Start Menu and the Explorer are. Like Groups -- how when you open My Computer it's got "Files Stored on This Computer," "Hard Disk Drives," and "Devices with Removable Storage." I've found out how to create groups and organize them based on name, file type, date last accessed, and so on.
But what I really want to do is create custom groups, with their own names, and drag-and-drop files and folders into them. Like when I open My Documents, and all of my document folders are mixed in with My Music and such. I want to create a custom group and put My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos in it, and then have all my other folders in a second group. How do I do that?

I am building a multiuser system using Roaming Profiles. I would like to customize the "Start > All Programs" menu to the user's user group. For example I would like to have Program Group that contains basic programs that every user would use. Then have Programmers group that contains Basic applications + programming applications. Ideally the Program Groups should be assigned based on the user's group.A user can belong to multiple groups.

My company makes products that deploy on XP, like Kiosks. I need to be able to lock down my "application user" rights nice & tight, but leave my admin rights wide open. I find that GPEDIT effects ALL user rights, so when I want to prevent my app user from being able to right-click on the desktop (for example), if I got to GPEDIT > USER CONFIG > ADMIN TEMPLATES , anything I do there dorks up my admin user as well.These machines will not connect to a domain controller so they have to be locally administered.

I have a file server that is not set to active directory, so I am trying to simplify the sharing of drive space. I am testing that I can or cannot get into certain groups. When I access from another Windows client and I get into my own file and then go out to try and get into another persons folder, I am auto directed to mine. I have to logg off each time to check each persons user folders and log in as them.

Since installing Windows XP SP2, I am not able to install the MSN groups photo uploader to post pics on my site. I have tried disabling anything that
could be preventing this: firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and also tried adjusting security settings...I get the message "installation failed", and a
tiny security shield appears for about 3 seconds next my pointer.

Computer is all of a sudden very slow. When I did a computer check for information regarding software, I found that many strange software files run automatically at startup. When I checked "msconfig", I only found 24 programs starting at startup which were normal. How do I eliminate these strange files. I don't know which one of these are necessary and I don't know how to eliminate them. They appear as "unknown". One example of a startup file is "zipfldr". There are pages of other ones.

I had a trojan downloader I appear to be all clean now, but I've noticed a weird change that might be from the clean up, not sure. In MY COMPUTER, the icons used to be organized under certain subheadings like "Files Stored on this Computer," "Hard Disk Drives," and "Devices with Removeable Storage" etc.These headings are gone. When I go to Arrange Icons and click the Show Groups option, I do not see a return of my lost headings. Instead, my control panel, and each of my drives is shown in a separate category that has a random letter assigned as its topic heading. How do I change this? How do I restore the original headings, and what could possibly have happened to remove them in the first place

How do you edit user groups? I want to disable the ability to install (any) programs for all users except the one admin account. This is what I have so far:
going through control_panel>user_accounts> and switching the account to a limited doesn't work (some progs can still be installed).Going into computer Management gives me the ability to look at the groups and move user names from one group to another, but I can't edit/modify what each group is allowed to do. Right clicking on group and selecting properties gives me this.Going into Group_Policy allows me to edit what users can do, but it applies the changes to every user (including the admin).

How does one read the whole names of the news groups when wanting to subscribe? How does one set it up so that after reading a post and closing, the post does not show up on the next visit to the group? How does one go back to look at old posts?

When starting programs IE 6.0, 'help and support' and trying to use 'user groups' and 'system restore' the applications all encounter a problem. All of the error reports refer to "ModName: mshtnl.dll". This problem first began after using system restore to go back to earlier settings. After going back to earlier setting all was okay until windows installed automatic updates and automatically reset the computer and thats when mshtml.dll errors began.ERROR: "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"[I]AppName: iexplore.exe, AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180, ModName: mshtmled.dll, ModVer:6.0.2900.3059, Offset: 00061e69

I am getting the following msg, it only happens in Yahoo groups: "A script in the movie is causing Macro Media Flash Player 7 to run slowly. If it continues to run your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" I pick "Yes", my system does indeed become "unresponsive" for about 5-10 seconds, then goes back to normal. Then about a minute later the same thing happens again. This only happens in Yahoo groups!

Does one group take precedence over the other. I had a situation where the user's accoutn was in both groups but when trying to install software,it appeared as if he did not have enough privileges. One of my technicians signed in as administrator and was able to install the software without a problem. When he signed in as the user who was in both Power Users and Admins, he said the install did not work. So the general question is how does Windows decide how to apply group membership roles.

I am using a POWER USER account, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 /w all the latest patches availible via microsoft update. I was trying to create a .zip file of a folder within the primary directroy of a backup hard drive I use.
For Example:
D:stuff - I wanted to make a zipfile of the folder "stuff."
Then I get the following error "Cannot Create Output File."
However, if I move the folder to the destop or a subdirectory i.e. stuff/more stuff, then the .zip file is created with no problems.
Also, because user accounts [at least in my experience] have a tendency to decay, I created a freash power user account and the same problem persist.
Is this a standard security feature for power user accounts? Is there anyway I can "disable" it if it is?

I'd like to create a .bat which closes multiple .exe processes just by opening it: 1. I open the file from my desktop 2. File closes for example svchost.exe and explorer.exe and finally the file itself. This is because I don't need some programs, which open when Windows starts, every time.

I have always enjoyed labeling and organizing my files, But as of a little while back i am not able to organize my mp3s or any type of file for that matter in a proper fashion because the options of the author the title and everything else you are allowed to label are not present. I used too use this to organize all my music and video files in a folder but now none of these options appear for me. When i click properties and heat to summary for any file It never gives me the options for these files there just not there. So when i try to organize lets say the folder by Artist or Album title or year or track number i cant because there is no category for it.
