I have 7 as an .exe file on a thumb drive that I use to put on peoples computers. I had already installed it on this computer. THEN, I make a mistake. After loading this computer the way I wanted it, all I had to do was leave it alone......but I just couldn't lol
I wanted to remove the LOG ON screen so I looked it up and did these instructions: Select Run from the Start Menu, type control userpasswords2, and click Ok.
Turn off the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer option, and click Ok.
When I did that, it removed ALL my personal settings, all my pic's, all my music. It reverted back to as if I had just put a fresh install of Windows XP on the machine, except, it left AVG on there. LOL
It also removed Internet Explorer 7 so I'm just going to leave it off there and start over ! But, when I looked at "MY COMPUTER" properties, it still says that the computer has SP3.
I went to RESTORE the computer but then realized that I had turned off System Restore to start fresh with it and had forgotton to turn the dern thing back on.....MY BAD !
One bit of good news....NO MORE LOG ON SCREEN......LOL
COOL !
I reckon this is as much as I can do to it. I will leave Internet Explorer 6 on there. I should have left Windows 98 on it. I didn't know that XP would need so much RAM!
I appreciate all your help !
What would you suggest as an inexpensive, but good laptop ? One that I could run Windows XP on it and it run good. I don't need one to play games on or anything heavy, just mostly surf the web and listen to a little music on. I would max it out on RAM.
Thank you jbennet for working with me patiently ! You are good solid help and very much appreciated !
This laptop is quicker and I've learned alot !
Thanks also for Daniweb being here for the world when needed !
