XP Pro issues.

topic posted Wed, August 31, 2005 - 6:37 AM by  Cliff
Looking to fix a few of those decisions that Microsoft makes for you.
This time it's the way XP causes your open web pages to all stack in one expandable block in the bottom tool bar (assuming like me you leave that one at the bottom).

The options are to tile horizontially, vertically or cascade them.

I prefer the idea of having them all lined up next to each other.

anyone know how to accomplish that?

Or even some good links for XP issues and fixes.

    I asume you are trying to use internet exploder. You really need to go to www.mozilla.org and download forefox. Do not use ie for anything except going to microsofts web site. BTW, <ctrl>T opens up tabs in FF.

      No please give me a tiny bit of credit. I won't use virus attractants like exploder or outlook.

      I'm using Firefox and Thunderbird. Win 2000 Pro didn't do this.
      I know there's a way having seen it done.

      Tabs ohhhh I HATE tabs. Slowly I turned. Step by Step.
      They are as annoying as that stupid expanding problem. I want the pages open in separate windows - so I select that but they all pile up in one button that expands when you click it.

        Sounds like a task bar behavior thing then. If your prefs are set in FF, then it is XP. I use Mepis, so I'm at a loss other than that. I'm saying this from memory. hehe ms products do attract every kind of foul thing that comes along.

          right click on the START pop up panel and
          select PROPERTIES
          click on TASKBAR tab
          unclick GROUP SIMILAR TASKBAR BUTTONS.

          Found it.

          Not to get rid of those stupid windows screens LOGOS.SYS and LOGOW.SYS
          are the files that windows XP uses for them. They are nothing but 256-color windows bitmaps images in a screwey elongation that windows interprets. Copy them to a directory rename the extension to BMP then do anything you please with photoshop etc.

          I'm thinking of Bill gates screwing a monkey.
