  Hello djplexus

  First, you will need to understand how to set up the dual boot. This will allow you to be able to choose between XP and 7 at startup.

  With regard to the creation of an image of Windows XP Backup there is no Windows XP software that will do it for you. You will need to look to third-party vendors for support with this issue. Thank you.

• Sharable desktop to any number (say up to 50) of users in Windows XP and Vista when all are connected to a wireless ad-hoc network? Or is there a limit on the number of users that can be shared? ___Thanks

  Need to have this configuration in a classroom environment.

  I don't know what you mean when you ask a desktop or sharing users.

  A network computer can share files and printers with other computers, but there are limits that might make it unusable for you.  Windows XP and Vista allow 5 or 10 concurrent connections by other computers, depending on the version.

  You need an operating system of Windows Server or Linux server to allow for more concurrent connections to shared files and printers.

  I also fear that an ad - hoc network does not work well with 50 computers.

  In the case of a computer from a major manufacturer contact them via their web site.  Many have recovery media low cost for just the situation you encounter.  Also they can cause (however unlikely) a new product key to replace the one that has rubbed off.  If all else fails see also: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246

  Hey jennyanderson99

  as you ask specifically about active desktop, here's what it is, or in your case what she was before vista released

  Active Desktop is a feature of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Windows Desktop Update that allows the user to add optional contentHTML on the Office, as well as a few other features. This feature was designed to be installed on theWindows 95 operating system then in force. It was also included inWindows 98 and later Windows operating systems up toWindows Vista, where the feature wasdiscontinued. This corresponds to the version ofInternet Explorer 4.0 to 6.x, but not Internet Explorer 7.

  HTML users can add in place of the ordinary wallpaper as independent resizable desktop items. Items available online can be regularly updated and synchronized so that users can stay up-to-date without visiting the site in their browser.

  Active Desktop works as the technology of desktop widget that allows users to add customized their desktop information.

  Here is information for active desktop for xp

  information from wikipedia about active desktop are less than

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Desktop

  The introduction of the Active Desktop brand attempt by Microsoft to take advantage of the ephemeral trendtechnology push led by PointCast. Active Desktop has imposed a number of "channels" ofdesktop computers that provided information updated continuously, such as headlines and stock quotes, without the user to open aWeb browser of the user.

  Active Desktop debuted during the publication of 1997 of Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, install it as a feature of theWindows Desktop Update offered to users during the upgrade option. The Windows desktop update is commonly referred to as (bad) Active Desktop itself, but it is actually a whole Windows shell to level v4.0 to v4.71, or v4.72, with many changes in the Windows interface, resulting in a level look and features almost indistinguishable from the Windows 98, then again to-be-released. Features include the ability to allow uppercase filenames (the old v4.0 Desktop would forcibly filenames in title case uppercase), the dynamic tracking file selection click configurable, customizable by HTML, QuickLaunch folder display settings mini buttons on the taskbar next to the Start button, improved to Start Menu drag and drop re-organization of the elements and menus contextual click right to rename point etc. With the update, Windows Explorer now has an address bar in Internet addresses that can be entered and driven seamlessly.

  Active Desktop was widely regarded as a failure, with one of the main problems being its use high system and reduction of the stability of the system resources. Although not used^{[citation needed]}, the availability of Active Desktop was decisive for the legal argument Microsoft in antitrust case of United States v. Microsoft , that Internet Explorer has a feature of Windows, not a separate product.

  Later use

  Windows Vista has replaced the Active Desktop withWindows Sidebar (now called Gadgets Windows Desktop fromWindows 7), which also allows the components to add to the desktop. Windows XP is the newest operating system from Microsoft to support Active Desktop. It seems that the 64 bit version of Windows XP supports is no longer Active Desktop. It provides always the option to display Web pages and channels built with MicrosoftChannel Definition Format (CDF) on the desktop.

  Display HTML features are now mainly used for creating wallpapers originals and adding the fields of desktop search. For example, a user can copy the following code to display the search box of Wikipedia on the desktop:

• Shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender

  Hello. I have Windows 7 starter on my netbook and want to create a shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender. However, it does not appear as a program in the start menu and the option to display the control panel more big or small icons is greyed out (i.e., not available in starter edition), I don't see the program on the control panel or the other. The only way I can get to it is to type in 'Defender' in the search field in the start menu or the search field on the control panel. Although one of these actions will locate Windows Defender, they do not provide me the ability to create a shortcut for the application. I tried searching in Program Files on the C drive and found him, but did not know which file right-click on the folder to create a shortcut file. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

  Second, Windows Defender is updated analysis scheduled around 02:00 every morning, but my computer isn't on then, I expect to do a scan automatically the next day when I turned the computer back on. He did not do that and always displays the last analysis as being the manual I did the day before. Is it possible to get auto-start if it misses its slot 02,00 regular?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Thank you both for responding: I did click right and do drag the thing like that seemed simpler and it worked: thank you. Are you able to let me know how to get the Defender to make an auto scan when I turn on the computer if it misses its slot 02,00?

  Thank you.
