Common Files Folder

Ace

I was just wondering that in the Program Files folder there's a Common Files folder. What is this folder exactly for? I mean it seems to have lots of vital files that I need but I'm just wondering what it is exactly.

Uhhh, how is my dial-up connecting at 115.2K?!

Ron_Jeremy

After plugging in my new USR External 5686 modem, I didn't see the Found New Hardware wizard as I booted into Win2K. Checking Device Manager, it showed up as a Standard Modem. Is this normal? I didn't use the USR CDROM that came with it since I saw no Win2K drivers on it anyway.

I need help with this situation: We are loading well over 200 Dell Machines with WindowsXP Pro and have to make changes to group policies. The issue we are having is we want to streamline it so everyone gets the same settings and we don't lockout Joe User from anything.

Improve Hibernate performance

Curley_Boy

I find the hibernate function very useful, but a tad slow. It usually takes a full minute to resume from power on. Although I have noticed a speed increase from 2000 and I have quite a bit of memory installed (512) I think it should be a bit quicker than this.
