xp problems and their solutions

There is one for everyone!!

1) When i try to access my task manager (Ctr+Alt+Del)...it

displays message
'task manger has been disabled by ur administrator'..., and also
i cant access my registry too..!!
what may have caused this problem....
is it becos of some VIRUS...????
how can i repair this without re installing...?? any particular
software??

1: Close the IE browser. Log out messenger / Remove Internet

Cable.
2: To enable Regedit
Click Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below:
(better - Copy and paste)
REG add
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
/v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
3: To enable task manager : (To kill the process we need to
enable task manager)
Click Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below:
(better - Copy and paste)
REG add
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
/v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
4: Now we need to change the default page of IE though regedit.
Start>Run>Regedit
From the below locations in Regedit change your default home
page to google.com or other.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Just replace the attacker site with google.com or set it to
blank page.
5: Now we need to kill the process from back end. Press Ctrl +
Alt + Del
Kill the process svhost32.exe . ( may be more than one process
is running.. check properly)
6: Delete svhost32.exe , svhost.exe files from Windows/ & temp/
directories. Or just search for svhost in your comp.. delete
those files.
7: Go to regedit search for svhost and delete all the results
you get.
Start menu > Run > Regedit >
8: Restart the computer. That’s it now you are virus free.

it works !!

2)I don't have IIS( Internet Information Services) windows

component on my system

As far as I know one can't have IIS running on XP Home. I think

u will have to upgrade it to XP Prof.
in proof That's simple get the Win XP CD, go to control panel--
>add/remove programs and then to add/remove windows components.
There u will find the option for adding IIS, just check the
checkbox and follow the instructions. You r done!!

3) Folder Option Vanished

IF U WANT UR FILES THT WERE HIDDEN U CAN TYPE *.* IN SEARCH AND
ALSO TICK THE OPTION "INCLUDE HIDDEN FILES".
NOW SEARCH IN THE DRIVE IN WHICH U STORED UR FILES, U WILL GET
UR FILES BUT TO GET BACK THE OPTION U EITHER HAVE TO REINSTALL
WINDOWS OR REPAIR IT. well this is as far as i know..

Post your Comment If you Know More

4) My volume icon is not showing in taskbar, Yet It's Enable

From Control Panel > Sound And devices

Assuming that you have tried the basic steps I am directly

trying with the most possible solutions. This issue most
commmonly occurs because the settings are not saved. Also there
might be some startup program which is diabling the Systray.exe
from loading up.

Try this...
1) Re-enable the volume icon by disabling and then enabling
Place volume icon in the taskbar in the Sound and Audio applet.
2) Then copy the following text which is in red into a notepad
file and then save it as "fix.reg". Please make sure that there
is no .txt extension after that.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol
icies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ru
n]
"SystemTray"="SysTray.Exe"

3) Merge the file to the registry by simply double clicking on

it.
4) Reboot

This should definitely work. Please reply back with the status.

5) Whenever i try d'loading stuff from the net, the download

starts and the comp just restarts. due to dies I have to install
d'load managers witch I hate. help needed anyone. I have win xp!

If the computer just restarts itself, it cud possibly be an

application crash..
check the Dr.watson log for details..
START-RUN- drwtsn32.
check the path for the log here... open the log and check which
application is causing the crash.
turn of automatic reboot,cos you wud miss it if there is a BSOD
being generated.

or may be u could try this one out

Go to Start>Run--Type 'services.msc', hit ENTER

Scroll down to a service called Remote Procedure Call, right
click, go to properties, there will be a tab named Recover
Action, change it to 'Take No Action' if it's not already
selected. Your problem should be solved for the time being. Also
look for all network related services DNS, TCP-IP and also
Windows Firewall/ICS service if you're on LAN/WAN, see that all
of these are set to Automatic or Manual.

6)I accidentally deleted the Show Desktop icon which sits

normally on the bottom left hand corner of the Taskbar. How do I
restore the icon?

Click Start, Run and type the following command:

regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32.dll

The Show Desktop icon file should be available now.

or

Click Start, Run, and type Notepad.exe. Copy the following

contents to Notepad.

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

Save the file as - : Show Desktop.scf. Now, drag the file to the
Quick Launch Toolbar. (Notepad might automatically append a .txt
extension to the file name. Remove this extension if present.)
