Explorer like Win2k in XP?

jwl812

In Windows 2000 windows Explorer, you could set it up so that when you clicked on a file like an mp3 file or audio file it would play in explorer and a video file would show up as a small thumbnail video and you could play that in explorer also.

Do I need ACPI with XP?

jwl812

Is ACPI really necessary under XP for a desktop setup. I have disabled all the power management features for my PC anyway. I never leave it running if I am not using it. My only concern is powering down the PC without using the power button on the front.

WinXP vs Win2K

jwl812

Anyone have any facts relating on how WinXP stacks up against Win2k. I've heard many arguments for both OS's but can't find any constructive or tangible evidence to pursuade me to go with one or the other.

Taskbar not refreshing properly

Curley_Boy

Can someone tell me why when I close an application, it's button goes from the taskbar, but a space is left in its place. Usually when you close a program the other buttons on the taskbar resize themselves to fill the gap left by the closed program, and thus make the most efficient use of taskbar space.
