Thanks but the Forum is playing silly buggers. When i search for "NT File Scripting" i am informed that the word NT is too small, the minimum length of a word is 3 characters. Well - that progress. I will try again on "Shell scripting". Anyway, many thanks for the advice. I...

I have searched for "batch file commands" with no success. Can anyone offer me a link to a list of these commands for use with XP.

Many thanks for the advice. Perhaps I should endure the help line to AJP for further info.

I know this has been asked before, probably dozens of times. I know I must use search and I have done so. Unfortunately I have no idea what to search for. My question is this. How do I get explorer to open in a expanded form? i.e with drive C expanded.

My computer is an AJP (badged Mitac) 8575 2.4GHz Pentium P4 with 512 MB of memory and running XP Pro. It has an on-board 10/100 Ethernet card. The specification informs me that the computer also has "one Min-PCI slot and one antenna reserved for wireless LAN". Can anyone tell me what is a...

Just a footnote. When I use USB 1 with the USB drive it is always recognised. Must be some incompatibility between drive box, USB2 PCMCIA card, XP Home or the computer.

My computer, a P4 2.4GHz laptop with 512MB memory running XP Home always recognises the controller, the PCMCIA USB 2.0 card and other devices that I plug into it - such as a Smartcard reader and a scanner. It is only the hard drive in the USB Cooldisk hard card box that often does not get...

Many thanks, I have now downloaded the manual.

My laptop does not have a floppy but I can easily buy a USB Floppy Drive. Will I be able to boot the computer from a floppy drive run from a USB connector on the laptop? I have a P4 2.4GHz, 512MB laptop running XP Home.

I have one of these USB2 hard disk boxes, containing a 6GB hard disk and it works Ok, once it gets recognised. Why is it hard sometimes to get it recognised? and Why does the USB lead split at the computer end into two identical USB plugs?

My laptop does not have a floppy but I can easily buy a USB Floppy Drive. Will I be able to boot the computer from a floppy drive run from a USB connector on the laptop? I have a P4 2.4GHz, 512MB laptop running XP Home.

Thanks to both of you for your advice. I will check for an upgrade to see if it cures the loss of Help files. I thought I had checked everywhere for a boot option but I had not looked on that particular list of options. I never cease to be amazed by the amount of knowledge available on...

I have Nero 5.5 working on a P4 2.4GHz laptop running XP Home and it works OK - with one exception. I downloaded it from the Nero Website and when I try to use the Help Files they cannot be found. Any ideas how I can retrieve them? Also I would like to write a disk that can be used as a...

Once again many thanks yoyo. You seem to be always there when i have a problem. Please keep up the good work.

I wish to make a Bootable CDROM to use with Norton Ghost 2003 but I cannot find the file mscdex.exe. Can anyone help me find this file. I have looked on XP Home and Win98 CDROMS without success.

Thanks yoyo, looks just waht I need.

I have Office 97, with Word and Excel, working on XP home. I also works on my daughter's computer running XP pro.

I can use Norton Ghost to save the necessary file to either a backup disk or CDRW. Unfortunately (fortunately!!) my laptop does not have a floppy. How can I create a startup CDRW for Ghost in place of the Floppy startup disk?

I accept that a clean install removes the problem but it can stop the problem returning. What we need to know is what is causing it, not how to temporarily remove it.

There seems to be a problem with XP. Occasionally, about once every 3 or 4 weeks my XP Home starts to go slow. Everything takes ages to load. CTRL/ALT/Del shows that Explorer is hogging around 100% of the CPU. There are (possible) fixes on the MS website but they have not cured my recurring...
