WIN2k reallly Slowwwww with p3v4x... HELP!!!!

Phasis
I have recently put Win XP on my system and I have only come to realise how slow win2k is in gaming. In 3dmark 2001, I got 730marks 1024, 16bit. In Win XP, this score went to 2400marks. Likewise, in Counterstrike, win2k's framerate will only hit 60fps (refresh rate) when I look into a corner, and can drop to below ...

Win2k Windows Explorer Nuisance???????

pmistry
When I use Windows Explorer in Win2000, and when I go to a folder's window and right click and select arange icons by name, Win2k literally sorts them by name including the folders. I prefer how the other Windows like 95/98/NT/and ME all put the folders first by name and then the files, but for me it just mixes the ...

Dream features - your list of what you wish you could do in

Pythagoras
Just curious what youve always wanted to be able to do in a winndows environment, but is either impossible/available or you dont know how. 1) Ive always wanted to be able to alpha blend any 2 windows together so I could be using one and still be able to see through the window Im using to something else.

Is it true

bando2000
With Win2k if you decide to use NTSF that you can not go back to a Fat or any kind. It says in the manual it can not be reversed once it is done. I need to know if this is true or not. Or is there a way to go back other then buying a new harddrive.

Making a bootable cd for W2K

cmoore
Using the FAQ here, I want to make a W2K install CD, that already has SP1 integrated. That part was easy, but now, I cant figure how to burn the updated CD, and have it bootable like my original. Using Win9X bootable files does not work.

1/2 GB of RAM, recommended performance tweaks ?

Outrage
With the price of memory being so low at the moment I decided to increase my main PC to 1/2 GB. I use Photoshop and 3D Studio a lot so it seemed like a good idea. The problem is that Win2k still seems to be using the swap file instead of the extra RAM, is this normal ? Is there a way to force it to use the cache le ...

Script for keys?

RussellWild
Hello - One of the users of my Win2K Pro machine has the habit of leaving the caps-lock key on when they log out. This caused problems for others who forgetfully type their whole name and password in the wrong case!

My Pictures folder - adding shortcut?

RussellWild
Hello all: On the Documents menu in Windows Me you get, at the top, shortcuts to both My Documents and My Pictures. As I do quite a lot of work in these folders these shortcuts were very welcome (just about the only thing that was in WinMe!).
