No Windows Search -- hadn't heard of it and certainly don't have it. And after I re-unchecked indexing on every drive, the churning stopped, so...
I'd long ago turned off indexing, but I just noticed that my harddrive was churning and checked, and sure enough indexing was on on my C and a...
I see I was unclear -- by "self-made home homepage" I meant a page on my harddrive, not a page on the internet. I also now see that Zander...
:rolleyes: Thanks everyone -- none of those things worked (I had read the M$ Help info...) -- what did work was Tools / Internet Options /...
Installed SP2 today, and already I hate the Information Bar -- I tried what Help says, which is to go into Tools / Internet Options / Security...
Thanks! That works! This inspired me to spend a few minutes testing things (it never occured to me that how you exit the Find box could make a...

Sorry for the faux pas. With my previous computer I thought I'd gotten the hang of XP pretty well, but with the PC I put together last weekend...
I infer from the responses, none of which addressed my query about Simple File Sharing, that that is not the cure. Actually, I figured out from a...
I have XP-Pro on my PC, others on my 3-PC home LAN have XP-Home and XP-Pro. I just upgraded my MoBo and RAM, so I reinstalled XP-Pro on the...
Ooops -- never mind! I had checked (under Properties, Options) "Prompt for name and password, certificate, etc." -- unchecking that, with the...
Putting a shortcut in startup causes a connection window to open on startup, which allows me to click on the button to make the connection happen,...
I just switched from cablemodem service (which did not require logon+password) to dsl (which does) -- how can I get the dsl to logon automatically...
