MY home pc has been configured as a workgroup instead of a pc in the House. How can I change this using xp home edition?
My brother did a clean reinstall of my xp home edition and it is configured as a workgroup instead of a personal computer at home. I need to change that. What I have to reinstall XP Home Edition or can it be done with the repair on my xp home disk option? Create problems that I have my user account and the user account from my children. All I want is to have this setup of working group last. Help, please
I don't think he did his PC a "domain". This would require a server operating system and the domain controller.
I don't see any problem with your configuration. 'Administrators' are a group of users, not a user. 'Administrator' is a user who belongs to this group 'Administrators' and therefore share the same privileges. There is no user named "admin" unless you create.
If I understand correctly, you can connect to the administrator account. So, you don't miss any privileges or access to the computer. If you want to use a different account for yourself you can create and use that one.
I ask for your specific problem. You don't tell him, at least no that looks like a problem. You seem to be confused about the installation, but I see nothing non-standard in your description apart because the administrator account is usually "hidden" after installation.
You mention an internet problem. This has nothing to do with the configuration of your account or the "working group". And what is the problem with having backup privileges? I don't understand your remark on your child's account. Sounds more like you're talking about an account on a site, with Xbox, or almost, but not with local accounts. A local account didn't need "activation".
I think you should talk to your brother in case you have problems. It seems to be knowledgeable enough to fix everything for you.

Since download IE9 has changed the font on my message preview, on Windows Mail panel, and the symbol of the attachment is not there. How can I change this back?
Just go in the Panel. Programs and features and then click on the left of "view installed updates" and find Windows Internet Explorer 9, and then you can uninstall it. You should know that it is installed automatically via Windows Update, so you'll need to keep it to be reinstalled. I think you can go Windows Update manually, and then it will ask you, then you can't deny it there and it should stick.

Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?
Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?
Original title: IP address
Hi John,.
Please go to the Microsoft Community Forum.
IP (Internet Protocol) address for the other two computer cannot be the same.
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are required for each device that connects to the Internet. Them are a common shared resource that must be managed carefully in order to ensure the continued growth and stability of the Internet. Most of the Internet is currently treated with IP version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 addresses are also in use, but not yet to the same extent. IPv6 is a newer protocol, offering a much larger than IPv4 address pool
However, you can try to reset TCP/IP on your computer.
Check out the link provided and check if the problem persists.
How to reset the Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)

When I open Firefox, it opens to the iDIVI homepage. As far as I know, I have never agreed to this amendment. Why what happened? My computer has been corrupted? How can I remove this and continue to have firefox as my homepage?
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.
Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).
Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

If I click on the + to open a tab, it happens to a browser window which I don't want. I've changed the 'home page' what I want, which doesn't seem to work, even when I restarted Firefox.
How can I change the screen that is displayed when I select a new tab? Thank you very much in advance for your help!
A new tab opens by default like a Virgin tab (topic: empty).
If this isn't the case, then an extension has changed this behavior.

The original configuration is a series of tiles that have shown my most visited websites. I want to return to this setting & don't know how to restore it.
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set this pref to your preferred the new tab page.
- the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
- the default homepage is Subject: Home
- to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum
The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.
You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

Hello.
I don't know what I clicked at all initially, but now, most of my programs have been converted to open it with Windows Media Player, so that they cannot work.
Even when I click on the system restore (to undo changes I've done previously), Windows Media Player opens and there will be a window that says that you can not read this .exe file.
I'm stuck and I don't know how else to solve this problem. Help, please!
