Automated System Recovery in Windows Home Edition. Window Xp Support Tip. By: WinXpFix.com if you have Windows Home Edition, you can create a System Restore Point to help you if you need to recover or restore your computer system back to a certain point in time. But what if you use Windows Professional Edition? You should employ the Automated System Recovery Wizard to help you restore your computer system when disaster strikes. The Automated System Recovery Wizard will walk you through the steps of creating both a backup set and a Recovery Disk (floppy). To use the Wizard, follow these steps: 1. Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Backup. 2. When the Backup or Restore Wizard starts, click on Advanced Mode. 3. On the Welcome tab, click the button at the bottom next to Automated System Recovery Wizard. 4. This will start the Wizard, which will prompt you for the media to use for the backup file, after clicking Next. 5. If you have a tape drive installed, this file can go there, but you can also write this file to a hard drive. This is the fastest method, but it also requires lots of free space. A writeable CD will work, if the CDRW software allows it to be access via a drive letter. 6. After entering the destination for the backup file, click Next again, and then Finish. 7. The Windows Backup utility will copy all of the important system files and settings to the backup file. An estimate and status bar is provided, as this step can take a considerable amount of time. After this step is complete, you will be prompted for a blank, formatted floppy disk. Several files are written to the disk, and then the process is complete. Remember that this process will only help you restore your computer system - you will need a separate plan for backing up your data files (for instance Word documents, MP3s or spreadsheets that you have created). Add Favorites with One Keystroke in Windows Window Xp Support Tip By: WinXpFix.com You can quickly add a Web page to your Favorites folder with a single keystroke. The page is automatically added to your Favorites list without any further input from you. To add to your Favorites list with one keystroke Press CTRL+D.

Removing MSN Messenger from WinXP Window Xp Support Tip By: WinXpFix.com Removing MSN? Some of you out there may wish to remove MSN Messenger from Windows. I know it's hard to believe. But, it doesn't appear from the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. In order for it to show up there, you must first edit the file named sysoc.inf. This file can be found in a folder named INF, which is a subfolder of the Windows folder (or in some cases the winnt folder, depending on how your OS was installed). You can open that file in notepad. Look for the following line to edit: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7 and then remove the word "hide" while leaving the commas on place (""). Save and close the file, now open the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, so now you can remove it like any other program. Easy yes? WinXpFix.com
