How would you create a folder on your desktop?
There are two ways that I know of
Right click anywhere on the Desktop (as long as it's not on an existing icon) and choose 'New' from the drop down list. Then choose folder. Type the name you want and press 'Enter'.
The more difficult way is to click 'Start' then 'run' and type 'cmd'. This will open a terminal window. From this window you should type 'cd Desktop' which will change the working directory to your desktop. Then type 'mkdir NAME_OF FOLDER' replacing NAME_OF_FOLDER with a name you choose. This will also create a folder on the desktop.
Take your pick.
List two ways to check hardware and software compatibility for Windows XP?
I'm not sure about two ways, but there is one which I can tell you about. To check hardware compability is not a problem at all. You need to find out that the hardware has or has no drivers for windows xp. If it has it means that it's compatible. If it doesn't it's still might work with drivers from another manufacture but there is a little chance. Software compability is described in help file which is usually provided with software. You might need to check software websites for more information or just google it.
How many partition in a harddisk?
On normal SATA it is 15. IDEs is much more, 64 i think. Or maybe double or trible.
But if you are using fdisk from terminal in linux, it is noo problem to make more than 15 partitions on a SATA. I made 60 before it hit the max. These are empty partitions which are now easily modified by programs like gparted.

Installing Oracle 10g - step by step guideIntroduction:This article is a step-by-step instruction for those who want to install Oracle 10g database on their computer. This document provides guidelines to install Oracle 10g database on Microsoft Windows environment. If you use other operating system other than Microsoft Windows, the process is not too much different from that of Microsoft Windows, since Oracle uses Oracle Universal Installer to install its software.
For more information about installing Oracle 10g under operating systems other than Microsoft Windows, please refer to this URL :
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage
How to get Oracle 10g :You can download Oracle 10g database from www.oracle.com. You must registered and create an account before you can download the software. The example in this document uses Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows. How to uninstall Oracle database software :- Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
- Run regedit.exe and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ SOFTWARE/ORACLE key. This contains registry entire for all Oracle products.
- Delete any references to Oracle services left behind in the following part of the registry: HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/ SYSTEM/ CurrentControlsSet/ Services/Ora*. It should be pretty obvious which ones relate to Oracle
- Reboot your machine.
- Delete the C: \Oracle directory, or whatever directory is your Oracle_Base.
- Delete the C:\Program Files \Oracle directory.
- Empty the contents of your c:\temp directory.
- Empty your recycle bin.
- Insert Oracle CD , the autorun window opens automatically. If you are installing from network or hard disk, click setup.exe in the installation folder.
- The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) will run and display the Select Installation Method Window.
- Choose Basic Installation:
Select this option to quickly install Oracle Database 10g. This method requires minimal user input. It installs the software and optionally creates a general-purpose database based on the information you provide.
For basic installation, you specify the following:
Oracle Home Location - Enter the directory in which to install the Oracle Database 10g software. You must specify a new Oracle home directory for each new installation of Oracle Database 10g. Use the default value, which is :
c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1
Installation Type - Select Enterprise Edition :
If you have limited space, select standard edition. Personal edition installs the same software as the Enterprise Edition, but supports only a single-user development and deployment environment.
Create Starter Database - Check this box to create a database during installation. Oracle recommends that you create a starter database for first Create Starter Database - time installations. Choose a Global Database Name, like cs157b, or just use the default value.
Type a password. Don't lose this password, since you will need it to connect to the database server.
Click next
- The Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks window appears: Click next
- A summary screen appears showing information such as your global settings, space requirements and the new products to be installed. Click Install to start the installation..
- The Install window appears showing installation progress.
- At the end of the installation phase, the Configuration Assistants window appears. This window lists the configuration assistants that are started automatically.
If you are creating a database, then the Database Configuration Assistant starts automatically in a separate window.
At the end of database creation, you are prompted to unlock user accounts to make the accounts accessible. The SYS and SYSTEM accounts are already unlocked. Click OK to bypass password management.
Note: Oracle 10g still keeps Scott / tiger username and password (UID=Scott, PWD=tiger) from the old version of oracle. In the old version of oracle, Scott/tiger user ID is available by default, but not in oracle 10g. If you want to use Scott /tiger account, you must unlock it by clicking "Password Management" at the last window.
Password Management window will appear like the one shown below. Find the user name "Scott" and uncheck the "Lock Account?" column for the user name.
- Your installation and database creation is now complete. The End of Installation window displays several important URLs, one of which is for Enterprise Manager.
- You can navigate to this URL in your browser and log in as the SYS user with the associated password, and connect as SYSDBA. You use Enterprise Manager to perform common database administration tasks
Note : you can access Oracle Enterprise Manager using browser by typing the URL shown above in your browser. Instead of typing the IP address, you can also access the Enterprise Manager by typing http://localhost:1158/em or "http://[yourComputerName]:1158/em" or by clicking "Start >> All Programs >> Oracle - [YourOracleHome_home1] >> Database Control - [yourOracleID]" in Windows menu.
By default, use user ID "SYSTEM", with the password that you have chosen at the beginning of installation, to connect to database, SQLPlus, etc. If you want to use other user ID, you may create a new user .

How do i restore the display settings for my computer monitor?
If you have a Mac their is a button on the back of the monitor hold it down until it comes on. On a PC there is usually a button on the right side push it. Make sure all your connections are secure.
How do you access your account online?
In terms of bank accounts, you need to gather all of your information, then find your bank's website. You need to find the link that usually says something along the lines of access my account online or just enroll. Click on it, fill in your info, make a login username and password, and use those to sign into the site. Or you could always walk into a bank and have the personal banker or other banking agent to help you set it up, then you just log in from a computer linked to the internet.
As for any other account, it's the same concept...
Not much information to start with, but this is a start that most people could do.
Start with the basics;
- boot in safemode and run a chkdsk from prompt
- run a virus scan
- if an application was installed before the hang, uninstall in safemode
- try a system restore to a date prior to the problem
- boot from CD and run a recovery
- restore from backup (if you backed up your system)
- if you have an image, revert back to it.
Should you delete Temporary files in disk cleanup?
Yes, there is no harm in deleting these files. I delete mine all the time. When you perform a system maintenance, these files are deleted at that time as well.
Do you have to pay if you get your Windows xp reactivate?
If you have a valid license key to use Windows XP with, then, no, you do not have to pay to reactivate Windows. However, if you have lost your license key then you will have to pay Microsoft to obtain a new one.
If you bought Windows XP on its own then there should be either a card with your license key on it, or a sticker with your license key on it in the packaging. If your computer came with Windows XP then there should be a Microsoft sticker on it somewhere with your license key on it.
What is the file extension that indicates an Excel file?
Excel 2003:
.xls = Workbook
.xla = VBA Add-in
.xlb = Toolbar (where custom toolbar settings are stored)
.xlc = Chart
.xld = Dialog (from older versions of Excel)
.xlk = Archive (Excel spreadsheet backup)
.xll = DLL Add-in
.xlm = Macro
.xlt = Template
.xlv = VBA Module
.xlw = Workspace (collection of multiple Workbooks)
Excel 2007 and Excel 2010:
.xlsx = Workbook (XML format)
.xlsm = Macro-enabled Workbook
.xlsb = Excel Binary Workbook (instead of XML format)
.xltm = Macro-enabled Template
.xlam = Add-in (XML format)
What is the name of the bar at the very top of the Internet Explorer Window?
The address bar or search bar
This is a fault caused by the software that you were running at the time. If you started a program just before getting this error, that would be the suspect. If not it could be ANY program that was running at the time. It could also be caused by a driver conflict with some software.
To fix this kind of error, because we have very little info to go on, we need to use a Microsoft tool to read the dump file that Windows created for this problem. The Dump Check utility which is included with the debugging tools for XP will do that for you.
The link to the Debugging tools and a full explanation on how to use them can be found at the Microsoft site. They are listed under KB315263.
If you surf to support.microsoft.com and do a search for KB315263 you will get to the page that explains how to use the Dump Check utility as well as having the links for the free tool.
Can you get a Windows Vista theme for Windows XP?
With very few exceptions, there is no such thing as a "Vista program." Most applications being released still support Windows XP. The only things that could conceivably be considered "Vista programs" are the programs bundled with Windows Vista, or some games released by Microsoft, like Halo 2. These programs can be made to work on Windows XP, but not all of them will work reliably or well.
Pls read this Article carefully and act with additional care (at your own risk) :
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
By default, RSL is 25 percent of the size of paged pool. Setting up the size of paged pool (see PagedPoolSize value of the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management) also affects the size of RSL.
You can also manually set the RSL:
1. Run the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
2. Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control.
3. Modify the value RegistrySizeLimit (create it first it if it does not already exist) to reflect the desired size, in terms of bytes.
NOTE: RegistrySizeLimit must have a type of REG_DWORD, and a data length of 4 bytes, or it is ignored. If you set the value RegistrySizeLimit to less than 4 megabytes (MB), it is forced up to 4 MB. If you set it to greater than about 80 percent of the size of paged pool, it is set down to 80 percent of the size of paged pool (it is assumed that paged pool is always more than 5 MB). If you set it to 0xffffffff the maximum size allowable (or 80 percent of paged pool, up to 102 MB) is set.
4. Shut down and restart Windows NT for changes in RSL to take effect.
Note A system restart is required after the RSL has been increased either through the graphical user interface (GUI) or the registry, because this change does not happen dynamically. If you do not restart the system, you may experience the following event:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: date
Time: time
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: name
Description: RegLoadKey failed. Return value Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service for C:\Documents and Settings\ntuser.dat.
In Windows NT 4.0, and Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, the maximum paged pool size is 192 MB, so RSL can be a maximum of 153.6 MB. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 142719 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142719/EN-US/) NT Reports Out of Resources Error When Memory is Available
In Windows 2000, the maximum paged pool size is approximately 370-400 MB, when you do not use the /3gb command-line switch (this makes the RSL greater than 296 MB). If you use the /3gb switch, these values remain unchanged from Windows NT 4.0.
Additional Notes on RSLRSL sets a maximum, not an allocation (unlike some other such limits in the system). Setting a large RSL will NOT cause the system to use that much space unless it is actually needed by the Registry. It also does NOT guarantee that that much space will be available for use in the Registry.In Windows NT version 3.1, paged pool defaults to 32 MB, so the default RSL is 8 MB (enough to support approximately 5000 user accounts). In Windows NT 3.5, paged pool can be set to a maximum of 128 MB, so RSL can be no larger than about 102 MB (enough to support approximately 80,000 users; however, other system limitations might keep this number of users considerably lower).
RSL includes space in the hives themselves, as well as some of the Registry's runtime structures. Other runtime structures are either billed against standard quota, or are protected by size limits and serialization.
To ensure that you can always at least boot and edit the Registry if you set RSL incorrectly, quota checking is not turned on until after the first successful loading of a hive (that is, loading a user profile).
For all but a few domain controllers, RSL never needs to be changed.
The limitations imposed by RSL are approximate.
