IE 5.5 or IE 6.0 ?

Paton

I soon will install Windows2000. Ive read about the many security bugs of IE 5. 5 and now i am unsure about a few things. - Does IE 6. 0 still have those bugs and needs to be patched or does IE 6. 0 have all those patches built in ? - Do those SPS Packages for IE 5.

remote control - pcAnywhere

Simon Ngan

I've got a PC from home that I want to be able to control it from work. Basically I have HomeSeer installed and I'd like to control it from work from time to time. So far I have pcAnywhere installed on both PCs and I was able to get into the home PC from work no problem.

Help, the image preview of "my pictures" folder st

GX

I love the feature of seeing a little preview of all my images instead of the application's icon. I had Corel Draw 8 and everything worked fine. Then I got Corel Draw 10, and after installing it the preview of jpg images are gone, and I can't associate jpg files to Corel Photopaint.

Pop-up adds?

emthompson

Every couple of minutes I get adds poping up through IE. I thought that it was some kind of spyware so I ran Ad-aware 5. 5 to try and get rid of them. This didn't work. I am still getting adds every couple of minutes.

Stop windows media player autoplay!

GTwannabe

With W2k SP2 and Windows media player 7. 1, there is an irritating feature I want to disable. Whenever I highlight a media (mp3, mpeg, etc) file, WMP automatically plays it in the preview window. This is incredibly annoying! I don't have Single Click enabled.

Force shut down in Windows 2000?

Simon Ngan

I was just wondering if there's a way to tell Windows 2000 to shut down all the programs even though they might not respond to the SHUT DOWN command? I have 2 programs that don't always close when I select SHUT DOWN from the START MENU.

reversing_drive

I haven't tested XP at all and am just curious what to expect. I have read a number of articles about and posts here @ ntcompatible, but it just seems to be WinME Bells & Whistles with the rock solid Win2K architecture.
