Ah. So you put 'em onto a memory stick or floppy or something? OK, I'll give it a try. I wonder how it'll cope with nested folders? My...
Thanks Pete. Seems like the Dude may have the answer. Dude, hi. Would you mind expanding your statement a little? When you say "copy\paste"...
No, I haven't, Pete. Too obvious, maybe, LOL. I guess I automatically assumed that I would need to monitor the process so that when it...
Hi all :-) Got a little problem involving Favorites. It came about because I've got multiple pcs, each with their own Favorites folder. What...
I've seen this happen on several customer's pcs but have no idea what causes it. If you have the Office 2003 disc, I'd suggest you remove both of...
Yes, the Avira rescue disc works well, and so do the ones (also free) from Kaspersky and BitDefender. But if this unfortunate person can't boot...
Thanks Dude. Maybe it ain't possible to do that. No worries. Another old drive will turn up soon and then I can get on with the multiboot...

Thanks SurferDude. Reliable as ever....:-) OK, I'll get XXClone and try it. I guess I should first partition the drive in a host system, with...
I've got an old 20G hdd on which I want to mount 3 (or perhaps 4, depending on space) separate, but identical XPPro installations. I own...
Heads-up: You were right Steve, Editpad runs OK in Vista, and allows you to nominate it as the default text editor, which effectively disables the...
You mean use Robocopy to overwrite notepad.exe with my own file, rather than with the batchfile?
Thanks for the responses Steve and Dave. Sorry about tardy reply: Yes Steve, show all files is ON. And UAC is OFF. After I read your post I did...
For many years I've been using EditpadLite to replace notepad.exe in XP. The replacement batch file is fairly simple and reads like this:...
Ah! Thanks for spotting that. My old mother was right after all, you do go blind eventually :-)
Well, I just took another look at the boot.ini file and here it is, cut and pasted onto a memstick. As you can see, the only difference is the...
