| You may come across a situation in which your PC fails to reboot, as well as you must format the Hard Disk. Before formatting, you should backup your files. If your computer is password protected, you won't be able to access them from outside, so here is a method for getting around this. |

| If you view a lot of pictures on your PC, you want it to be easy. Sometimes programs hijack your extensions, taking over the default viewer status for your pictures. When this happens, it can be inconvenient when you open them to view. Fortunately it is easy to change this setting. |

| Windows XP contains a feature which automatically runs the software on a CD or DVD loaded into an optical drive on your computer. This is designed as a convenience, but can have the unintended consequence of loading or executing programs on your PC without your permission. Microsoft developers have created what they call a PowerToy -- an unsupported but free piece of software you can install, which allows you to easily disable autorun on your optical drives. |

| Sometimes, you might want to change the security or permissions on a folder in Windows XP Home Edition. You will right click on the folder as well as select Properties, as well as under the Security tab you might expect to see something like you would see in Windows 2000 - a list of Users as well as checkboxes for Allow as well as Deny. However, you won't see this, because Windows XP uses something called "Simple File Sharing." You can disable it in XP Professional, but not XP Home. Apparently, XP Home users aren't to be trusted with all that power. Fear not, there is a way around this (even if it is tedious). |

| If you've had difficulty installing ATI's graphics drivers on your 64-bit Windows Server box, specifically with getting the ATI drivers to load at boot time, this should address the most common cause. |
