I mistakenly tried installing an incompatible product. Now I cannot open email attachments (and some documents): am told I "must create an association" in the folder options of the control panel.

Create Shortcut by webster72n
When opening certain files with a specific icon, a "Create Shortcut" box comes up instead of the file, asking for comment and command line, amongst other things. No idea how this developed, but it could possibly have something to do with Tweak UI. So far I was able to get around it but would like...

"Working in Background" by Justin Thyme
I have set up my mouse pointer so that an hourglass is next to the pointer when "Working in Background." The condition rather frequently occurs, or is present, at the end of a long session and I'm ready to turn power off. I don't know what's working; Process Explorer (the very latest release)...

Excruciatingly slow (at times) by ng_reader
I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but whenever I am trying to save a file to a location other than the default, my machine crawls along, ever so slowly. You know, when I am using that little window that opens when I download from a website, or when I am recording a CD to a location,...

My Windows Me calculator disappeared from my desktop by Celticmist1
I ran a search and it is just not on my computer any more. Is there anyone that knows how to restore my calculator? I have searched database and can find nothing on the subject. It is really irritating not to have the use of it.

Reload Outlook Express by Smith
I'm helping a friend with his ME. I'm savy on XP, but not ME. His OE doesn't start, the popup says msoe.dll missing. I've tried to fix that and still OE doesn't open. I've read the lengthy process at MS on reloading OE and it surely looks too complicated. Can I just rerun the setup of ME on...

Login questions! by Lunaray
How do I change the Username in the Windows Login box? Or better yet, how do I eliminate the Login box altogether? I live alone and I'm the only one using my computers, so I'd rather not have to login at all! I looked on Microsoft's web site, but I didn't find much. Thanks all! Ray

Is there an alternative? by George Gee
Hi all Recently I have had to reinstall the OS. Previously I had a very simple zip facility, just right-click a file or files, send to zipped folder. Now I have a very colourful program, an evaluation of Winzip, with so many buttons to click, before you get what you want!

WinMe "Setup.Exe" File by AAH
Does the setup.exe file which come along with OEM os differ from the normal/retail version? Can the setup.exe file dated 8/06/2000 can work with OEM disk contents which are in a different "compressed" format? Thanks.
