If for any reason your Win Xp Folder View does Not Stay To You're Setting. Grab your registry editor and join in Why Doesn't Windows Remember My Folder View Settings? If you've changed the view settings for a folder, but Windows "forgets" the settings when you open the folder again, or if Windows doesn't seem to remember the size or position of your folder window when you reopen it, this could be caused by the default limitation on storing view settings data in the registry; by default Windows only remembers settings for a total of 200 local folders and 200 network folders. To work around this problem, create a BagMRU Size DWORD value in both of the following registry keys, and then set the value data for both values to the number of folders that you want Windows to remember the settings for. For example, for Windows to remember the settings for 5000 local folders and 5000 network folders, set both values to 5000. Here is how: Follow these steps, and then qu...

The most common problems originate from corruption of the master boot record, FAT, or directory. Those are soft problems which can usually be taken care of with a combination of tools like Fdisk /mbr to refresh the master boot record followed by a reboot and Norton disk doctor or Spinneret. The most common hardware problems are a bad controller, a bad drive motor, or a bad head mechanism. 1. Can the BIOS see and identify the hard drive correctly? If it can't, then the hard drives onboard controller is bad. 2. Does the drive spin and maintain a constant velocity? If it does, that's good news. The motor is functioning. 3. If the drive surges and dies, the most likely cause is a bad controller (assuming the drive is cool). A gate allowing the current to drive the motor may not be staying open. The drive needs a new controller. 4. Do you hear a lot of head clatter when the machine is turned on and initialized (but before the system attempts to access the hard drive). Head clatter w...

FIRST What were going to do is to set up your options correctly. Open WinRAR OPTIONS | SETTINGS | COMPRESSSION | CREATE DEFAULT GENERAL | (ok now that we're there, here's what U do next) But 1st -> realize that everything U set on the default profile will occur everytime U rar files. So if U only need a password occasionally, or other special settings, then create another profile for those purposes. U can change which profile U need to use when WinRar is open. The Default profile is used otherwise, such as when using WinRar from the context menus in explorer. General tab: Archive format RAR Compression method BEST size (enter in BYTES the size you want as the max single Rar file). I use 51,200,000 (50,000 KB x 1024). But chose yer max size as U wish. Update method ADD AND REPLACE FILES Archiving options: check > PUT RECOVERY RECORD Archiving options: check > TEST ARCHIVED FILES. Archiving options: check > DELETE FILES AFTER ARCHIVING ( unless U want yer HDD to fill ...

I am not sure where I found this tutorial, It’s been a while…It might even have been here... ..So if it is one of yours, my hat goes off to you once again.... After reading the excellent tutorial on "Creating an FTP" that Norway posted… (I would suggest reading and following his tutorial first, then following up with this one) I thought that perhaps this tutorial might be pretty helpful for those interested in knowing how to configure their Bulletproof FTP Server that don't already know how... Here's how to get started… This is for the BulletProof FTP Server 2.10. However, It should work fine on most following versions as well. I'm assuming you have it installed. Basics 1. Start the program. 2. Click on Setup > Main > General from the pull-down menu. 3. Enter your server name into the 'Server Name' box. Under Connection set the “Max number of users" to any number. This is the limit as to how many users can be on your sever at any time. 4. Click ...
