I use a wireless aircard. I configured the devise to open the browser with MSN.com. No problemo. But if I close the browser then reopen it with the desktop IE icon, it opens with google, even after changing the address in internet options. Can the registry be edited to eliminate the google address and how and where do I accomplish the task? -- RoscoeT

XP Pro SP2. I've got two users installed on this machine, neither has a password. I've been able to switch users with no problem 'til now. I just installed a new version of Symantec Protection Agent 5.1 (a firewall that my employer provides and requires that I use if I'm going to log into the corporate network from home) and now when I switch users, I'm asked for a password. If I log off and then log on with the other user, it works. In fact, it looks like if I log off with one user, log on with the other, log off, then log back on with the first, switch user will work without prompting for a password. When I re-boot, the behavior starts over again. …

In brief, we have a CA services (AD integrated)installed on a machine that might get removed off the network. Now, we have issued a few server certificates (for web access) and certs for EFS usage. We dont' want anything in the windows domain to break by removing this box. What I am planning to do: 1)Installa new Ent CA in the network (possible?) This will be the only CA in the domain eventually. 2)Revoke certs issued by old CA server 3)Issue new server certs (web access) using th new CA 4)If all is well, uninstall the old CA. My assumption is that the existing CA server is only used for EFS and server certificates. Is this feasible? Will I majorly break…

HI...I am monitoring a server in performance monitor, and here is what I found: there is a client/server application: client - app server - SQL server, when the client run a function of the application, the CPU at the App server climbs up to 25%, and stays for about 5 minutes before the client can see the result. During the period, the memory, disk counter at the App server and SQL server are all low, except the CPU at the APP server maintains at 25% for 5 minutes. My first question is why the CPU not jump up to 100% and finish at a shorter time? My further test is that I have two clients running the same application, surprisely, the CPU is still at 25%, but…

When I was attempting to copy and paste a tif file on my desktop it put a box behind text under icons. I figured out how to remove the boxes but i had already tried to restore the theme and it rearranged my icons. How do I restore the arrangement of my icons the way i had them....i have alot of them!!!! I am trying to avoid manually moving everything the way i had it. I do NOT have auto arrange checked when you right click on desktop. I am using Windows XP- media edition
