TW>JE>TW> Wel I have so far Changed the Hard Drive and Video Card. Have to add
a
TW>JE>TW> Net card but don't know if that will be counted. And May add some
TW>JE>TW> memory. Have 512 now but since XP can handle more effecently might
add
TW>JE>TW> another 512 stick if I come across the right deal.
TW>JE>TW>SO far I am NOT happy with WinXP. most of it is the Habit changes I
will
TW>JE>TW>have to make becasue of the STUPID activation. But there is a lot of
TW>JE>TW>other silliness and Useless Fluff that irritates me.

TW>JE>Just set it up to look like 98SE. Easily done.
TW>JE>The activation bit may be another story. I changed HD, NIC card, DVD
TW>JE>drive and added memory in one system without having to reactivate.

TW> I have changed a lot of things but it is Eaiser Said then Done!!
TW> First HOW do I get back my Favored Desktop ICONS for things like "My
TW> Computer".

For My Computer click on start, on My computer Rt click and check the
box "show on desktop". For program icons on the desk top click on START;
ALL PROGRAMS, right click on the desired program, and then click on
create shortcut. This will make a short cut in that menu. You must then
MOVE it to your desk top. It is really all quite simple.

Now click on control panel, then click on FOLDER OPTIONS. In the frames
that pops up under TASKS check the box that says USE CLASSIC FOLDERS.
Read the ret of the options and act according to your desires.

One caveat: Any time you install a new program if it installs an icon on
the desktop it WILL PUT THE ICON IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER of the desktop.
ALWAYS KEEP this spot empty - otherwise it will shift your desktop icons
to make room for the new icon. Once you get used to the location of the
desk top icons a sudden change is undesirable.



TW>One thing I am having a great deal of difficulty in File Sorting in
TW>folders under Win Explorier. I liked the Win98 and earlier scheme of
TW>Folders First and then Sorted by Date with the Newest date First. Whne I
TW>have WinXP sort by Date it does it form Oldest Datre First. IF I click
TW>on the header to invert it it Moves the folders to the bottom  of the
TW>list. That is very inconvient in larger folders with subfolders.
TW>---

I do not remember how to correct this but it can be done. Jay
