OK there is no registry tweak that kills the taskbar, or can even hide the GUI (taskbar is a required task, otherwise u cripple ur system by removing it. The best way to do it is to unlock the taskbar (rightclick the taskbar, then UNCHECK "LOck Taskbar" then grab the top of the bar and pull it down. I'll keep looking thru my reg, and surfing the net to see if there is a way to remove the GUI permanantly thoOK - I'll set a challange for you - it's something I don't know (and was asked about 3 weeks ago) is there a reg setting that hides the start button and the bar that goes along the bottom?

yeah - that's pretty much what I thought, cheers - it had to be reg settings (it's part of an automated windows install) we have a code workaround but it wasn't pretty. Thanks anyway.

OK Macafee and norton are rivasls./....they "supposedly" wont work together, its I'mpossible to have both even installesd on the same computr BUT, if you have a network and u REALLY want both, install o0ne on 1 computer, and the one on the other, then just scan both comps seperately, thats all I can really say about that. I dont really feel like such a guru anymoreI cant install norton cuase theres a syntax file missing but there are some kind of files from norton that wont let mcfee install what should I do?

YOu should be able to completely remove all traces of either with add/remove program. However You can't be using it at all. If that doesn't work there are always uninstallers with thr program that should do the job.I cant install norton cuase theres a syntax file missing but there are some kind of files from norton that wont let mcfee install what should I do?

I've got one..in xp home, how do you bring back the panel that's on the left while using explorer? I seem to have gotten rid of it somehow =/
when you open an explorer window - goto Tools>Folder Options
then in the General tab there's a Tasks panel, the option you want set is "show common tasks in folders"
I think that'll bring them back

Yes, it does display even though I receive that message. And I just checked. It only happens when I open internet links with Mozilla Firefox. Doesn't happen with Internet Explorer.Are you using IE?
Mozilla?
Firefox?
And does the page still display even though it gives you that?
Thanks
