Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 302089 •Microsoft has not made it easy to get rid of Messenger but there is a simple way to remove it forever. Here are the steps:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove •If you just want to stop Messenger from starting when you use certain MS web sites or programs, you can follow these steps. Note: Any updates involving Messenger installed from Windows Update or elsewhere will reinstall Messenger. To stop that, see below. •For those who wish to add additional Registry entries to prohibit Messenger from being reinstalled, run the Batch file NOMSNGR.bat contained within this ZIP file. If you wish to restore your original settings please run WMRESET.BAT (also included in the ZIP) to remove the registry settings that prevent Windows Messenger from running. You will then need to manually reinstall Windows Messenger on your computer. •You may also wish to check the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel.

got feedback?by blank name$$$ got feedback?It is om auto and started but still no tab and no auto start! 2012-08-03 21:20:27 by GolfBall$ Yes, there is a way, and it is built into the OS itself, but you have to convert to NTFS to take advantage of it. To convert over to NTFS, go to the command prompt (Start Menu -> Run -> cmd) and type in the following command. convert x: /fs:ntfs x being the drive letter that you want to convert Once you have converted over, open Windows Explorer, go to the Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, and then uncheck Simple File Sharing. Right-click on the folder, choose Properties, go to the Security tab, click the Advanced button. On the Permissions tab, you will find a check mark by "Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here.", uncheck it. When you uncheck it, a message box will come up with the heading "Security", click the Copy button. Click the OK button back at the Permissions window to get back at the Folder Security settings. Remove every user name including the Administrators group, except SYSTEM and CREATOR OWNER. Click Add to add a user. In the "Select Users or Groups" window, click the Advanced button. A new window will appear, click the Find Now button. Select the users that you want have have access to the folder (yes, you can select multiple users by using the Control key on the keyboard while clicking on the names). Once you have selected the users or groups that you want to allow access to, click the OK button. Click the OK button again in the "Select Users or Groups" window. Make sure that you set Full Access to the users or groups that you want access to the folder. Also make sure that the SYSTEM user has Full Access. Note that if a user that has been denied access to a particular folder attempts to access the folder, Windows will come back with an "Access Denied" error. The folder will still be visible to the user without access but the user will be unable to view the folder contents, execute, view, or edit the files stored in the folder.
got feedback?by trparky For example.....You have a program that will run perfectly on Windows 98, but it won't run on Windows XP. You can tell Windows XP to run that program in Windows 98/ME Compatibility Mode, thus effectively hiding itself from the program in question and making the program think that it is running in Windows 98. You can enable Compatibility Mode for any program that you choose. Simply find the EXE of the program, right-click on it, choose Properties, click the Compatibility tab, and set the preferences. You can find more detail on Compatibility Mode from this KB article: How to Troubleshoot Program Compatibility Issues in Windows XP (Q285909)

got feedback?by slash There are ways to make Windows Device Manager show these hidden devices. set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 You can either enter that at a command prompt, or add it to your environmental variables ( Start Menu --> Control Panel --> System --> Advanced ). Click the Environment Variables button. Under System Variables [user variables also works] click 'New', enter "DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES" with the value of "1"). After doing the above, open Device Manager, click View in the ToolBar, then Show Hidden Devices. You'll see a lot more devices to work with then before you did this tweak. This helps when you want to uninstall a driver for a piece of hardware that is long gone. This can also be done via a Registry entry. Open RegEdit and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment. Make a new String Value with a name of "DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES". Give it a value of "1".
got feedback?by trparky This will happen if you type the command into the Run box on the Start menu, or double-click on the program's .exe file. Command-line programs are generally intended to be run from the command prompt. First, you must open a command prompt. Type 'cmd' into the Run box, or choose 'Command Prompt' from Start -> Programs -> Accessories. Then, in the command prompt's window, type the command you're interested in. The output from the command will go to the command prompt's window, which will not vanish when the command terminates. To close the command prompt window, type 'exit'.
got feedback?by dave Check these out: Microsoft MSDN Library Inside the Blue Screen Stop Messages Event ID got feedback?by slash ONLY Computer wide settings are reflected in all accounts. Example: You change the computer time, ALL of the accounts will have the changed time. You reconfigure a printer in the Hardware Manager, ALL of the accounts will have the change. You install a program like Microsoft Word, ALL the accounts can use Microsoft Word (if you let them). These are system wide settings. Open up My Computer, double click your main hard drive (usually Local Disk C), then double click "Documents and Settings". In this folder, are more subfolders of all the user accounts on your computer. For example, if you have the following user accounts: Mom, Dad and The Kids, you will see the following folders, "C:\Documents and Settings\Mom" "C:\Documents and Settings\Dad" "C:\Documents and Settings\The Kids" And inside those folders will be each accounts settings and files. For example, Mom's "My Documents" is located in "C:\Documents and Settings\Mom\My Documents" and her Favorites are located in "C:\Documents and Settings\Mom\Favorites". Same with Dad, Dad's "My Documents" are in "C:\Documents and Settings\Dad\My Documents" and so on. This is how Windows XP manages user accounts, a folder for each user. Each users settings (settings from the Registry and whatnot) also reside in the user's respectable folder. Now, if you install a program in Mom's account, you can log into The Kids and use it. You don't have to install the same program in each user account. Once it's installed on your computer, it's installed and all user accounts can use it. When you install a program, it's usually installed to the directory of "C:\Program Files\(Program name)", NOT the folder that contains the user accounts. Now, to create a new user account, go to the Control Panel either through the start menu or My Computer, click "User Accounts" > Click "Create a new account". Type in the name of the account, this is what is seen on the login screen, and in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\". Next,you have to choose what TYPE of user account you want it to be. You can choose between "Administrator" or "Limited". It's very simple, an "Administrator" account has complete access to the computer, whereas a "Limited" account cannot install programs, change system wide settings, or make any changes outside of their own account. If "The Kids" have a habit of installing software you don't like, keep messing up the network card, or like to delete files they shouldn't be deleting, make them be a "Limited" user account. HOWEVER, some programs REQUIRE Administrator access to them, and if they do, you have to let them be an "Administrator" account or you can right click on a program shortcut, choose properties, then under the Shortcut Tab click the advanced button. You then want to click the button that says to "run with different credentials." This will pop up a box (similar to the 2k style login screen) that allows a user with different privileges to run a program. Now, as far as your shortcuts and the others getting mixed up, they wont. The only shortcuts that mix are the "All Programs" shortcuts to programs. For example, go to Start > All Programs. You'll see a list of all installed programs. Now, when you install a program in Dad's account and because when a program installs, ALL user accounts can access it, you see the shortcut to the program in all of the user accounts. So if you install Program A and DO NOT want to let The Kids have access to it, here's what you do. Go back to "C:\Documents and Settings\". Now, go to the "All Users" folder. Inside this folder are things that all user accounts will see very simply. Now go into "Start menu" and into "Programs". This is where the shortcuts to all your "All Programs" are stored. Simply move Program A from here, to your own user accounts folder. So in essence, you MOVED the shortcut "Program A" from "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start menu\Programs" to "C:\Documents and Settings\Dad\Start menu\Programs" and if Mom needs it, COPY it to "C:\Documents and Settings\Mom\Start menu\Programs". This does not necessarily stop the kids from using the program though, they can explore the hard drive and find the program and execute it that way.
got feedback?by Ctrl Alt Del It actually arises because of an architectural limitation in Win9x: two system memory areas are extremely limited (64KB each) due to the 16-bit heritage of the OS. This doesn't apply to NT4/2000/XP as it did in 9x. Memory heaps are essentially unlimited. There is no need or benefit in having some "percentage used" figure, and there is no such number displayed. You can find out useful system information about resources (in the general sense, not the specific Win9x sense) from the Performance tab in Task Manager. Hit ctrl+alt+del (or ctrl+shift+esc for a direct route in Classic mode) to open up the Task Manager.

Added 12/21/02 -- ref: this MS Help forum post: As alot of you know XP will sometimes hang onto a file causing you to go into the command prompt and kill explorer to delete the file. Well if you want a permanent fix read on: 1. open up regedit.exe and head to the following key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler 2. Delete the default value and close regedit. This should keep you from having to go through the long process of having to close everything and use the command prompt to delete the file.

Kriengsak from THAILAND 2011-05-19 09:25:41 by DavisPhotog This process is a single thread running on each processor, which has the sole task of accounting for processor time when the system isn't processing other threads. In Task Manager, expect this process to account for the majority of processor time. The system idle process uses all the CPU time that is not used by anything else. CPU time is like any other time; you can't not use it. If you do nothing, you're still using time: you are using time to do nothing. If the system idle process is using 99% of the CPU, then your CPU is busy only 1% of the time. That's good, not bad.
got feedback?by dave Totals: tells you how many handles, processes, and threads there are allocated in the OS. The numbers are simple counters, but the words are quite tricky to explain, because they're basic programming concepts, and basic concepts are always tricky (try explaining the verb 'to be' some time). Handles: the kernel supplies programs with 'objects' such as files, shared-memory sections, registry keys, and so on. A program uniformly manipulates an object by means of a handle, which is a temporary connection to the object. A handle is not the object; for example, if a file is opened for 17 different uses at the same time, it will have 17 different handles connected to it. Processes: a process is an instance of a program in execution. If you're running Explorer 3 times, then there will be 3 processes running. See the difference? The program is the thing that persists - the program you had yesterday is the program you have today (unless you did something!). Processes come and go. Threads: what actually runs in a process. Each process is made up of one or more threads, at the decision of the programmer. The threads execute in a more-or-less independent manner. If you had enough processors, they could all really execute at the same instant. Otherwise, they only appear to be all running at the same time. None of these numbers have 'proper' values. Mostly, if they start increasing without limit, then it's time to suspect that something is going wrong. A program can cause a 'handle leak' by failing to close files, for example (though if you kill the process, all its handles will then be closed by the OS; this isn't DOS). Commit charge: this measures the amount of 'committed virtual memory' (see the VM FAQ for background) in the system. This is all memory requested by processes that is not backed by some named file (for example, the program instructions are stored in the program.exe file and thus are not counted in the commit charge). One way to look at this is that the system has a certain budget for virtual memory, and each program request is charged against that budget. The Total commit charge is the current in-use value; the Limit is the sum of the pagefile sizes and the physical memory that's available in principle for programs (i.e., not counting all the permanently-resident parts). The Peak is simply the highest value recorded since boot. Physical memory: this is easy. The total is the amount of memory that the OS detected, and the available amount is pretty much what you'd expect. The so-called system cache size is actually the size of the system 'working set' (i.e., the amount of physical memory used by the System process, pid 4, which is a process wired in to the kernel and which executes threads on behalf of the kernel and device drivers). The system file cache temporarily holds contents of files, to speed system performance, and is probably the largest consumer of memory in the System process, though, so it's a reasonable approximation. Kernel memory: tells you how much memory is in use by the kernel and device drivers. I believe (but I could be wrong here) the numbers here are virtual memory counts. For non-paged memory, there's no difference: the virtual memory is always resident in physical memory. For paged memory, the size is virtual; the physical memory occupancy could be less. Now, the graphs and meters. Despite their headings, the PF Usage and Page File Usage History displays don't measure Page File Usage. They measure the total commit charge. The total commit count is sort of related to page file use; it's how much page file you'd use if everything that could possibly get written to the pages file, was in fact written to the page file. On Windows 2000, the same displays are called Mem Usage, leading people to think they measured physical memory use. That wasn't right either. What do you expect from a program calling itself the "Task Manager" anyway? There is nothing called a "task" in the operating system kernel - the OS has "processes" and "threads". DOS had "tasks". The Intel hardware has "task" structures, but the OS doesn't use them because it's faster for it to do it itself. (Recently, a user mode program called the "task scheduler" has appeared, but the kernel knows nothing of those tasks either, and besides, that's a completely different use of "task"). The CPU Usage and CPU Usage History displays do in fact measure CPU use! That is to say, they count all CPU use except that which is used in the system idle loop at non-interrupt level. It's thus a pretty good picture of how busy your system really is. On multiprocessor systems, I think the total is given in terms of the power of one CPU (they're always identical CPUs). Thus a two-CPU system has "200%" available to it. You can if you like show one graph per CPU. If someone would care to send me a two-CPU system, I will verify these claims. The usual green line gives the total CPU use. You can optionally add a red line showing the time spent in kernel mode; this is sometimes handy for problem isolation, or perhaps it just looks nicer. Use Show Kernel Times in the View menu. The bottom status line repeats CPU use, commit charge, and process totals.
got feedback?by dave The 'image name' is the name of the executable file used when the process was created; this name is popularly referred to as the name of the process, though it's not really. (Why 'image'? Because programmers used the word 'image' for 'memory image file' long before it was possible to put pictures on a computer without a defense-department-sized budget). There are two exceptions to this, the System Idle Process (pid 0) and the System process (pid 4). These are wired into the kernel, and do not have corresponding image files. They don't have image names either, so various tools such as Task Manager make up names, so you might see different names in different tools. The System Idle Process consumes all the CPU time that no-one else wants. If no other process is ready to run (on a particular CPU), the kernel will run the idle process. The System process contains threads used by the OS kernel for 'background' functions. For example, the working set trimmer, which may reclaim physical memory from some processes, runs as a thread in the System process. The System process may also have threads used by some device drivers to do work outside the normal path of operation. (If the System process is using a huge amount of CPU for an extended time, it usually means some device driver is to blame). Most of the columns of data are adequately explained by Task Manager's help, so I won't repeat the information here. The memory-related data, however, could probably use extra clarification. The Mem Usage column shows the current working set size for the process, which is to say, the amount of physical memory the process is currently allocated. Three things need to be said here: firstly, this is only somewhat related to "how big the process is". The process is probably larger than that; the OS's job is to keep only those pages in physical memory that it is useful to have in physical memory. Secondly, the number can get smaller, if the OS decides to take some physical memory away from the process ('working set trimming'), which it will do if it has some other use for the memory. Lastly, you can't add up all the numbers and get the total used by all processes; some of the physical memory is shared by more than one process. The VM Size column shows the number of Private Bytes of virtual memory owned by the process. As always, 'virtual memory' does not necessarily mean disk or RAM; it could be either, or neither.
got feedback?by dave When you use the Search option on the Start menu to find files containing specific text, the results may not include files of all types. In fact, if you haven't installed any service packs, quite a few file types will be omitted. Microsoft created this situation deliberately, to avoid having you find "irrelevant" files, but in the initial release of Windows XP the software company overdid the limitation. Updating with the latest service pack will allow Windows XP to search several dozen more file types. The Search function relies on an internal filter to find words; file types that don't have a defined filter won't be searched. If you find that certain file types don't appear in the search results, you can try assigning the plain-text filter to those types. To do this, launch Regedit from the Start menu's Run dialog and navigate to the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.??? (where .??? is the extension you want searched). If you don't find a subkey named PersistentHandler, create one. Double-click on the value "(Default)" for that subkey and set its data to {5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}. Repeat the procedure for any other file extensions you want included. You can also change a setting in the Content Indexing Service to index all files. Select Search from the Start menu. Click on the Change preferences link, then on the With Indexing Service link. Scroll down to Change Indexing Service Settings (Advanced) and click on it (you don't have to turn on indexing). Now select Customize from the View menu, check the Console tree box, and click on OK. Right-click on Indexing Service on Local Machine in the left-hand pane and click on Properties. On the Generation tab, check the box Index files with unknown extensions and click on OK. Close the Indexing Service console. Note that both of these techniques require that you first update your system to the Windows XP Service Pack 1.
got feedback?by acehyde Description You can use the SPCheck tool to determine the service pack level of installed components on computers that are running either Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000 Server, WIndows XP, or Windows Server 2003. The SPCheck tool generates a report that lists the origin of each file for each installed component. SPCheck reports on the current service pack level of the following components. Windows NT 4.0-Based Computers DHCP Server DNS Remote Access Service (RAS) Routing and Remote Access service Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) WINS Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) NWLink (IPX/SPX) Exchange Server 5.5 Windows 2000-Based Computers DHCP Server DNS Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) WINS Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) NWLink (IPX/SPX) Exchange Server 5.5 Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server SPCheck examines each component one file at a time. Because of this, SPCheck must run under a security context that is equivalent to the local administrator account. If SPCheck is not run in this security context, files may be reported as missing, even though they are installed on the computer. SPCheck searches for files by using the "PATH" environmental variable. If files are reported as missing (although they can be found on the target computer), ensure that the folder or folders which the component is installed in are included in the PATH environmental variable.
got feedback?by Greg_Z In NT/2000/XP, a 'privilege' or 'right' is something you are allowed to do by virtue of who you are. Privileges have names like 'Load and Unload Device Drivers'. Privileges are assigned to particular user ids or to user groups. Assigning privileges to role-based groups is often more convenient, so (for example) the Load Drivers privilege is assigned to the Administrators group, which means that any member of Administrators can load drivers. Privileges are assigned by the User Rights Assignment thingy in the Local Security Settings console, secpol.msc. Privileges are independent of any particular object. You can 'Load (any) Drivers', not 'Load (specific) Driver FOO.SYS'. In NT/2000/XP, 'permissions' are settings applied to system objects (such as files, directories, registry keys) that say who is allowed to do what to this object. Permissions are specified in the access control list (part of the security descriptor) for each such object. Thus the access control list for some file might say: Administrators : full control Power Users : read Dave : read + write The ability to edit an access control list is of course a permission that is granted (or not) by that access control list. Given that access, the list can be edited to add or remove access permissions. Entries in the access control list refer to either a user id or a group. It is often convenient to use role-based groups such as Administrators rather than indidivual user ids; this avoids the need to update every file in the system when (for example) you appoint a new member of Administrators. Note that granting some user Joe 'full control' access to a file FOO.SYS does not allow Joe to load FOO.SYS as a driver. That requires 'load driver' privilege. The thing that is being protected is the running operating system and not the file FOO.SYS (FOO.SYS is the weapon that we're protecting the OS against).
