    In This Topic, it was questioned and discussed how to put aero cursors on the login screen. Here is how to do it: 1) Download the cursors from HERE to integrate into your installation 2) Copy this code into Notepad and save as cursor.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Cursors] @="Aero (Alphablended)" "Scheme Source"=dword:00000001 "Arrow"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\ 00,25,00,5c,00,43,00,75,00,72,00,73,00,6f,00,72,00,73,00,5c,00,52,00,54,00,\ 4d,00,20,00,41,00,65,00,72,00,6f,00,5c,00,61,00,65,00,72,00,6f,00,5f,00,61,\ 00,72,00,72,00,6f,00,77,00,2e,00,63,00,75,00,72,00,00,00 "Help"…

    I have a really weird problem and i'm not sure what is wrong. I will try to make it as descriptive as possible. I am using windows XP pro on my HP laptop. My service wireless zero configuration is allways off, when i turn it on in administrative tools, then again i don't catch any wireless network. Then I configure that in control panel ->network-> , i enable the card. It's look like it working but nothing. The same thing when i restart or shutdown my laptop, next logon the wireless zero configuration is again off, even if I set Automatic start in every startup. I try on Vista i don't have that problem all work fine. Can anyone help me ???

    from a 36gb SCSI drive.. I thought to install XP into a 25gb partition and keep the C:\Program Files folder for what needs to go there. then create another 10gb part as D:\Program Files for major apps. i've searched a bit and found different opinions. besides Defrag efficiency, is there any good reason to have these separate O/S partitions in a new build? the Paging file will set itself as necessary and i've read the Documents and Settings should also stay in place.

    Hi everybody, Ive looked all over for a solution to this problem and have tried everything Ive found but nothing works. I have a laptop that runs XP, and I have 2 large external HDD and a few USB drives. Im interested in making each HDD (Internal, Large external, and USB) have there own icon. Now I know some of you are like "thats so easy, what a n00b" but I have tried everything and nothing works.

Then I read that If you delete the Iconcache it will rebuild itself at the next bootup and the new icons will s…
