Dear subscribers I would like to know if it’s possible to configure Windows Desktop Search, in my case version 4, to index web pages as well as drives. The idea is to get a unified search view for most of my company’s documentation which is both as Word documents and web pages (wiki etc)? Thanks, Ola

Recently I have had my IE windows slowed from one process to the next with an Automatic Screen Refresh. System response is doing something in background as my next window is finally activated. Could be at ONE Website using it's multiple windows and have the Auto Refresh happen. When in Word97 or 2000, program will load and Auto refresh screen before I get a chance to Open a File. Know it is going to happen because System Bogs down with NO response from any open windows or program selection on my part. So, what is happening and what can be done to resolve this. At times I will have 2-5 windows open but never had the problem in the past. FYI, I sh…

when I ping from machine A to B: >ping 121.1.1.1 -v 0x47 windows keeps delivering the ToS field as 0x46 in the IP datagram. This is what Wireshark reported. However, I didn't have any problem when pinging from a linux box. It appears that the 2nd Hex will always be round off to the lower even number when pinging from windows machine, e.g: 0x27 becomes 0x26 0x15 becomes 0x14 0xA3 becomes 0xA2 and so on.... When looking closely in Wireshark, this is this due to the last bit of the QoS because it's related to ECN-CE ....whatever, this means....does anyone know how can I turn on this function? So I can set the traffic all the way from 0 t…

The Magnifier came on for me and I was annoyed. So rather than reboot, I went to the web to see how to turn it off. I see others have the same issue I had. In my case, the magnification was not caused by Vista since the control panel -ease of use magnifier checkbox was not checked. I found that my mouse software was the issue. I have the wireless intellimouse explorer 2.0 from microsoft. So under start-all programs- microsoft mouse-microsoft mouse, I noticed that the small thumb button is set to start the magnifier (and turn it off too). I am changing this setting because I really don't want to accidentally turn that on again. -- jvance

I want to allow users to create files and folders in the root drive, but I also want the rest of the folders in the tree to have seperate access. When I create a (BENCOMP/Users) permission for full control, but for folder and files only, it applies it to all of the child folders. Is there a way to prevent this? -- ACiD GRiM

Every time I boot I get a pop-up window asking "Do you want to install Microsoft OLE automation?" There are two option: yes and no. If I select yes it starts to install. Then I'm told there are newer files existing, do I want to overwrite existing files? A yes answer and it continues, a no answer it stops. If I select no the pop-up window goes away and booting completes. No matter what I do the next time I boot I get the same damn pop-up window with the same question. How do I get rid of this annoying window? I have XP MCE, Service Pack 3. I'm not positive but I think this started when I installed SP3.
