When the application (Client side) knows about the proxy (Configured within the application) this is called explicit proxy.

Can you install windows 98 on a hard drive and transfer this hard drive to another computer and run Windows 98 as well as if it had been installed directly on this computer?

If both computers are the exact same model you can do it without any problem.

If the computer that you transfer the hard drive to is different it may still work, but when you boot the computer Windows98 wil look for drivers for the different chipset

In the process of looking for the correct driver Win98 may ask you to insert the Win98 install disk. The problem is the CD drive will not be recognized yet because usually the ide and pci chipset drivers have to be loaded first ,but they have to be loaded from the CD disk. Ah a real

dilema!

The solution: make a windows startup disk and replace the msdos.sys

file and io.sys file on floppy with the msdos.sys and io.sys files from the win 98 hard drive. Transfer drive , and boot to the floppy on new machine. It will load the dos cdrom drivers and also boot to Win98. The cdrom will show up in Win98 and you can install drivers for new hardware from the CD.

After all the drivers are fund it should work o.k.

What is the use of the sharing in the folder properties how you shared that foder to others?

Microsoft Windows allows files and folders to be shared on a network. These step-by-step instructions explain how to find the list of folders that have been shared on a Windows computer.

  1. Open "My Network Places" from the Start Menu or from the left pane of Windows Explorer (under Desktop, below My Documents and My Computer).
  2. Open the "Entire Network" item listed in the left pane of My Network Places.
  3. Open the "Microsoft Windows Network" item.
  4. Next, open the new item that appears showing the computer's workgroup (or domain) name.
  5. Finally, click on the new item that appears showing the computer's name.
  6. In the right pane, any non-administrative Windows shares set on this computer will appear. If no items appear, no folders have been set for sharing.

    Folders shown in this window link to the actual shared folders. Opening any of these shares will reveal the contents of the actual folder. Note that renaming or deleting files from this linked location is not permitted. Note also that this method reveals the contents but does not reveal the actual location of the shared folders on the hard drive.

  7. To find the actual location of file shares on Windows XP or Windows 2000, and also to view administrative shares, open a command prompt. To open a command prompt, click the Start Menu, choose the Accessories option, then choose Command Prompt. Alternatively, click the Start Menu, choose the Run option, then type 'cmd' in the Run window that opens.
  8. Type the command 'net share' and press Enter in the command prompt window. The 'net share' command shows the name and location of each shared folder on that computer. Share names that end with a dollar sign ($) are administrative shares.

    Several administrative shares are created automatically by Windows; these should not be modified.

How and how often do you clean up your Windows XP computer system?

The simplest way to do it would be delete everthing you don't want.


You can download a number of 'cleaning' programs off the web.

2 which come to mind immediately, are window washer, and CCleaner.

both of which go through your entire hard drive, and remove items, which are no longer required.

Some of which, but are not limited to are, the recycle bin, cookies, temporary internet files, registry remnants etc.

With both of the programs mentioned above, you can say what you want to delete, and or leave alone.

Both of these programs, are imho 10 x better than M$'s disk clean up.

Hope this helps
