That setting doesn't always "stick" though. Which is why I'll go thru Explorer if I can.

Sometimes it's stickier than others.

Hi Costa and Bob, thank you both...

Costa, I had tried going through folder options, but I only got the "edit" option, and no way to change the file.

Bob, your suggestion worked great!

I have the disk to upgrade to XP, I'm just kinda scared, lol.

Have a good weekend everyone.

I have probably the dumbest question here. I did this before by accident and can't remember how I fixed it. I have Windows XP.

When you usually right click on an icon or anything for that matter, the menu list pops up showing what you want to do, like open or copy. Well, I did something to where it will only show the options from that list when I move my mouse over it. This is driving me up the wall.

I have looked everywhere and I cannot find how to undo this. I think it was auto-hide until mouse hover option or something like that. I do a lot of work in PS and this right clicking and moving my mouse down to show all my options is getting annoying. Can someone please help me? *cries*

Anyone have any idea why my computer is refusing to go to Google? It goes to all other websites completely fine, but refuses to bring up Google. I have added Google to my secure sites, and made sure it wasn't in the restricted list. I've also ran Spybot. Any ideas?

Lori, have you deleted all your temporary internet files (internet cache), history, etc then restarted your browser?

Zgood, where are you talking about? On your desktop? In Windows Explorer? In Photoshop? If it's Photoshop, select Edit > Preferences > General. Under the Options section, see if the checkbox to Show Tool Tips is selected. If it's not Photoshop, I think I need more info. :-)


Lori, it's possible that another search engine has taken over your system. Do you have a Google toolbar installed? If so, check your settings there and see if you can reset it back to Google.

When you say it refuses to bring up Google, what error message do you get if any? How are you trying to access Google? Try just typing the address.

Jimmer, I get a Page Not Found error. I've tried typing it in, and I've trying searching for it on Yahoo and just clicking on the link...nothing brings it up. I tried on my other computer and it comes up, so it's not my internet provider's fault.

Costacat, I don't have a Google toolbar.

I'm really thinking it's just time to say goodbye to the old computer. This is just a new problem in a long line of problems.

Does anyone know how to fix the size of the icons on your desktop? For some reason when I turned on the computer today, the icons are huge and I've gone to every place I can think of to fix it. In Control panel, on the display it shows normal size. Also, the web page is now too big to fit on the whole screen, when it was just fine before. Can anyone help or have suggestions???? Thanks in advance.

Gumby, I think you have a problem with your resolution. Right click on the desktop, select properties select the Settings tab and then select the next highest resolution and see if it looks better.

That is a strange problem Lori.

really? well, that shoots that theory down ... back to the drawing board. Do you have a router? have you hit the reset button on it?

I think I mentioned a while back about getting a ton of 'returned mail'. It's Anyway it is getting worse. I called my provider and they insist that I must have a worm of some kind. I keep running my virus program and nothing is coming up. It had only been on my old computer even though both computers use the same email addy. It's now starting to happen on the new one so I am thinking there must be a worm of some kind. But like I said, I have run my scan AVAST. the trend one and even McAfee's free tool..and nothing. The trend one did seem to stall one time though. I do not open attachments unless I am expecting one. Even from friend when they send jokes

the trend one you mentioned, was it online? was it housecall? if not, that might be one to try. Have you also run an anti-spyware program, ie spybot or ad-aware?
