Re: Windows XP Help

Dani,

To explain, you can change the number of mouse clicks required to open a program, etc, from two to one click.

In Windows XP, click on Start, Folder Options, the Click items as follows.

It took me forever and a day to find it.

Great!! Thanks Dani!!!! That's what I forgot - chaning to Windows classic. Now I need your help in changing to single click.

Thanks,

Neal

I can tell you how to do it, but my way affects every open window you have. If you don't mind getting rid of the white background in every application, then here's how to do it.

Right click on your desktop, click appearance, make sure your theme is windows classic, not windows XP, then click advanced, then use the pull-down menu and choose Window and then choose your color, hit apply, then open Word and look. Matter of fact open anything and look, LOL

Oops.  No I didn't.  It went back to glaring white on the next document.

Thanks Dani.  That's is what I thought and have already done.

Another question. On my Windows 98 I changed the background color so Word would not have that glaring white screen, but have not figured out how to do it in XP.

That's just to let you know that they are your system files and if you don't feel comfortable or experienced enough to mess with them, to leave them alone, but considering C drive is where everything is, you'll be hard pressed to not touch it ever. You'll be fine. Now go to Tools, Folder Options, and View and then choose to show all files, do not hide files, whatever it is.

I had Windows XP Home Edition installed by a computer shop yesterday and now am going to transfer files from my other computer.

When I click on C: in XP is says "These files are hidden. The folder contains files that keep your system working properly. You should not modify its contents.

Should I transfer files to this C drive or make another drive, such as D.

C drive shows as Local Disk C:
File System NTFS
Free Space 72.7 GB
Total size 74.5 GB

So I think it is partitioned to only one drive and I actually could not create a D drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
