In the control panel under Tools, folder, file types options, why are there items her don't have next to them?
According to my question in the title above... Tab file types... Why is it (NO) next to audio CD, disc, DVD, and a little more such elements as the folder of file, folder and to allocate to the Protocol.
Reason why I ask this is I just do a fresh install of Windows XP with SP2 and I installed SP3 after that on an old computer that was in need of a new facility. I continued to get the AutoPlay window I went to the CD and DVD players and set everything to TAKE NO ACTION. I wonder if I made a mistake by doing this. I was half way tempted to do the same for drive C, but I did not. Is there something I can do to correct what I do that I should not have?
Also, I noticed that my computer is really slow now and it was not before.
How can I find other positions that have posted here on Microsoft Answers?
Thank you
Gary
The [NONE] you're referring to means that there are has file extensions associated with things such as Audio CDs, disks and DVDs.
A "file extension" is the 3-(4-parfois) part of a file name that comes after the period character. For example, in "Document.doc" file extension is doc.
Made settings were - as you noted correctly - in the AutoPlay dialog box. These settings determine what Windows does when a removable storage device is connected. Depending on the type of multimedia content detected on the device, you can choose from a variety of "Manipulative Autoplay" to deal with this content.
"Take no action" is not a bad default.
If you want to change your mind, open my computer and right-click on the icon for a CD/DVD/USB device and select the tab "Autoplay". You can choose from a variety of types of "content" and then choose which application should open. For more flexibility, TweakUI--> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-xp or see

Also, I noticed that my computer is really slow now and it was not before.
A number of things could happen here.
Have you installed all necessary drivers after you reinstalled Windows?
Have you installed an antivirus application before connecting to the Internet?
Have you applied all post-sp3 Windows critical updates before you begin to surf the Internet?
Did you uninstall the trial versions of software antivirus which have been replaced (unless your new Windows installation was a "clean install")?

The toolbars are still on display in your browser?
If you still have the address bar, right click on any part that is not a text box or the icon, or if you do not like that of any space right click on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the address bar window. This should show some options, click on 'Menu Bar' and the tabs you are missing should appear.
As a side note, usually if these options are missing, your icon of firefox in the upper left corner of the window should look different (being a rectangular button itself as opposed to an icon), and the 'file', 'Edition', 'Bookmarks', etc., are found after clicking on this button.
Hope that helps.

Satellite P100-160 BT icon appears in the Control Panel, but no BT
Hello
I have a Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not.
* Reasons I thought that I had BT: *.
I thought originally I had, because in 'Control Panel', it has a Bluetooth icon, which when I press on it opens the "Bluetooth devices". I also use WiFi I thought a sign that BT has been installed and working. I also notice that in Services' there is that something called 'Toshiba Bluetooth Service' running.* Reasons I think that now I don't have BT: *.
However, when I press Control Panel > Bluetooth devices > Bluetooth settings, nothing happens. It's as if the button is dead. And when I try to 'Add a BT device', he finds not all devices. In addition, there is no BT listed in Device Manager......
Overall, I am very confused! I bought yesterday wireless speakers after seeing the BT icon in Control Panel (I had read that if this icon was there, I got BT), but having struggled for hours trying to get BT to work yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I don't have BT at all!
Could someone explain what it means the Bluetooth icon in the control panel? Why is there if I don't have BT? Or, the icon means I have BT but am doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance! Very frustrated!
David.
> Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not
Satellite P100-160 was NOT equipped with Bluetooth module.
But maybe the battery BT software has been installed and is why the BT icon is visible in the control panel. -

Windows 10.
Yesterday Photoshop CC asked if I wanted an update.
I said yes, now I can't find the control panel of the tool that used to be to the left of my screen.
How can I get that back?
Menu of the Photoshop window > tools (near the bottom)
The new Photoshop you give a splash screen, so if you open a file, you should see the workspace.
