vista and xp network prob by V[_2_]
My vista box can see my XP box, but the XP box doesnt (seem) to see the Vista box. The router sees XP and from Vista, and I can ping the XP IP.

Good countable Hosting for few email accounts, ftp, and web space, can be found for $2 - $3 a month. You are your own boss, you look good with your own email (rather than ) for less...

How to get rid of password? by Pete L[_3_]
My wife is being driven mad by the request to change her password on her Vista laptop about every two weeks. I don't know all that much about Vista, being a XP man, but I have followed the instructions to remove password but it always seems to come back. All she wants is to be able to turn on her laptop in the morning and never be asked for a password again. Quite simple really - so how can I...

Can't delete fonts by TedMi
I want to delete some of the 609 fonts that were installed with Windows Vista. After wading through file ownerhsip issues, I staill can't get rid of some of them - I get a message that the file is open in another program. This happens even for non-Latin fonts which I KNOW are not being used by any part of the UI. Any way around this? Thanks. -- TedMi

Error 8007000B or OX8007000B by suquito
A few weeks ago my computer crashed and the blue screen of death came up. After trying a number of things to include restoring my computer to factory settings (which worked for a few days), I reinstalled Vista on my computer with the CD that came with the computer. I installed everything like it was a new computer. I was able to get most of my computer working normal however, I can't use...

errors on disk by JS[_2_]
Greetings, My Mcafee scan has frozen the pc 3 times in the same place, and the Mcafee tech said there are some errors on the disk that could cause this. There is a "scandisk" on xp and earlier versions, is there something similar on Vista? What else can I do to identify and correct these errors? Thanks, JS

Can I mount a share to a folder and NOT a drive letter? by John Mayson
I am running Windows 7, but this would pertain to earlier versions too. I have access to a share, I'll call it \\SERVER\Documents. I know how to mount that to a drive letter. That is not what I want to do. Instead I want to map it to my C:\Users\username\Documents. Is that even possible? I have searched online and others have asked this only to be told how to map to a drive letter. ...

Vista start-up & networking w/ XP by Scott L. Robik
I have two questions if someone can assist or at least direct me where to find some answers. Where is the "correct place" to store start-up scripts in Vista and Windows 7? Traditionally in Windows XP this is done using local policy editor and setting the startup/shutdown scripts. Because I have Vista Home Premium, this feature is disabled. I know this is probably stored some where in the...
