In Outlook Express, no email images will display. All they show is that little red X. This happened after I said OK to Activate Windows XP firewall. How can I get them to show again?.

Windows File System (WinFS) TOO much for Microsoft to get out in 2006

AndyFair
This isn't really surprising, MS hasn't introduced a new file system since NTFS - which is now 10 years old. It's had a couple of tries over the past few years, and always given up half way through: OFS (Object Filing System from Cairo - IIRC, the code name for Win95?) NSS (Network Storage Services, introduced in e ...

Having trouble deleting files...

c00lguy
I was downloading a prgram that put spywar on my computer, I got the majority of it deleted, except for 3 files, Comm. dll, WindUpdt. exe, and WinKA. exe. . . Both the. exe files, continue to restart themselves as soon as I end the process, so I can't seem to delete either 3 of the files, and get rid of them.
