XP using wrong drive for system partition

ryoko

I installed XP on an 80GB HDD with 2 partitions. Many months later I got a great deal on another 80GB drive, and I installed it as a slave drive. Periodically I use ghost to image from one drive to another so I always have a current backup.

IE Favorites: How to prevent hijacking

PinkPanther

Hi all, Does anyone know of a teak (or utility) that will prevent outside applications from adding links to my favorites? As an example, Netscape (which I unfortunately have to install for testing) adds useless AOL links into the favorites folder.

XP (HOME) Task Manager tweak

BillyG.

I've often wondered if there is a way to have the columns in the PROCESSES tab sorted according to the user's liking upon opening, i. e, I always sort the MEM USAGE column so that the processes taking up the most memory are on top of the list; does anybody know how to tweak the registry to do this? TIA.

Small problem with icons on taskbar

thymios

Well the problem is no exactly a problem since it's not serious at all but it's a bit irritating. Every time i restart my PC the icons on the taskbar area of my computer are automatically hidden. So i go and select the icons i want active and the ones that i want inactive from the startmenu properties.

How to PERMANENTLY prevent System Restore on USB / External drives???

Anonymous

This problem is driving me nuts. I have a 128MB USB thumbdrive (Soyo Cigar Pro2, shows up as Prolific USB drive in devmgr). Windows XP Home decides to infect it with a system restore folder set to use 93% of the drive space whenever I connect it.

How to VIOLENTLY delete files from NTFS partitions?

dr_st

From time to time, a person decides that his operating system is too screwed (constant errors, crashes, slowdowns) and decides that he wants to reinstall it FROM SCRATCH, i. e. make sure that no traces of the system remain.

Startup profiles

Fumanchu

I was wondering if there is a way in Windows XP SP1 to make startup profiles. For example, say I wanted the best performance in Doom 3, so I'd have a Gaming profile that would just have basic services, so I would have more free RAM, and then I'd have another profile Normal that would load all of my normal services.

Predictive Text Selecting - Turning this "feature" off

Durt

Windows XP attempts to predict what text you want highlighted as you left click and move your mouse. Most of the time it screws up. How do I turn this feature off so I can just highlight what I want highlighted without WinXP meddling? Thanks.
