  Any programs that will unroll and roll windows like a shade?         


Author: Ant
Date: Mar 16, 2008 21:17

Hello!

I used to use WinShade and FreeShade in older Windows. However, they
don't work very well in XP Pro. SP2. Are there any other freeware
programs that can roll up and roll down my windows with double clicking
on the menu bar (doesn't maximize and restore like default Windows
behavior)?

Thank you in advance. :)

  Possible XP bug

Date: Mar 16, 2008 10:24

I'm running XP MCE 2005 on a Dimension E520. Dual-core Pentium D, 1 GB RAM,
256 MB Geforce 7300 LE, SB X-Fi Xtreme Music, 2 internal SATA hard drives. I
moved the location of my My Documents folder to the secondary hard drive.
One day I was modifying the folder pictures and folder types for folders
contained in my My Documents folder. After I applied the picture changes I
changed the folder type and checked the box to apply the template to all
subfolders. After applying this change and poking around a bit, I noticed
that EVERY folder shown in thumbnail view on the second drive showed one
picture (one of the ones I selected for the previous customizations) while
EVERY folder on the primary drive shown in thumbnail view displayed another
pic I used for the previous customizations. This was even applied several
folder levels ABOVE the folders where I made the customizations, including
the root of my C: drive. I did a LOT of searching around for a fix, or even
just some documentation of this issue. The only thing I found suggested
deleting ALL thumbs.db files off my system. I tried that to no avail. Then I
had an idea...one of the pics was stored in 1 folder and 1 folder only so I
searched my registry for the name of that file, deleted the 2-3 at the most
entries for that file, and voila! problem gone. I don't know if this is by
design or what, but I thought I'd pass it along in case it helps someone
else out. ...

At work my computer has been set to automatically lock after a few
minutes of inactivity. I just find it annoying to have to re-type my
pword to get back in several times a day. How do I disable the auto
lock? I was told I could do this even though my comp is part of the
network. We are running on Windows XP.

Is it possible to have a sequential set of photos (eg a range of equipment)
or is it only possible to have one and change it every few days. The PC in
question runs XP Pro SP2.

  TweakUI for all user accounts

Is there a way to apply TweakUI settings to all the user accounts on
my XP box? It's tedious to have to go through each user account
picking the options!
