                                        OK, I'm impressed. . . I just encoded a full CD (about 40 mins of audio) at the highest quality VBR from within Windows Media Player 9, and it only took a total of 1:46 to copy and encode the full CD!.

                                        Is there a way to lock the taskbar in win2000 like in WinXP. I installed IE 6. 0 SP1 using service pack 3. Anyone know of a way?.

                                        Hello, how do I make Win2000 automatically end a task in x seconds when an application is not responding when I go to shutdown or restart? I remember in XP, it has a bar that counts down and ends the task automatically.

                                        It seems MS security patches increasingly break things more than fix bugs these days (Windows 2000 SP3 was what finally prompted me to upgrade to XP). Take IE6 as an example here are few of the issues that I (and quite a few others seem to be having): '.

                                        Just a general question. Where does windows2000 kept the cookie files that remember your username when you go into a web site. For example when I log into this forum I type the first letter of my id name and the name pop up.

                                        Hi I don't have Color PhotoPaint 8 installed, because I'm not terribly crazy about the program, but I'm wondering is it able to save. RLE images? I would rather use. RLEs in my visual basic applications than normal.

                                        is all good and stuff - but it is still physically 1 cpu - and as someone else said when u are cranking that cpu at like %90 - hyperthreading ain't gonna do jack for yeah - also other reviews have show that hyperthreading may actually slow down other applications.

                                        The last couple of days my windows 2000 fully updated have started to become very slow at shutting down. It just stands at saving your settings for about a minute or 2. Anyone know about away to make this go faster.

I do have active destop disabled, but I did turn it on to see if it made any difference, but it didn't.

                                        hi, i have 3 email accounts configured in outlook express. recently when i tried to reply mails from senders i found that the From: field does not reflect the email address that was sent to me by the sender, causing me to reply mails using the wrong email address.
