Windows XP problem
Hi, i installed Windows XP Professional a few weeks ago, but when i go into My Computer, then into the C: (Local Disk), there is a background of little globes with rings around them. Ive tried all kinds of things to get tid of them, but nothing does. Doesn anyone know how to get rid of the globes in the background of the C: folder???
Or, right-click in the background area and choose "Customize this folder" then choose "Remove customizations"

I cant do either of these things, on the C: folder there is no option to customize the folder, and in tools-Folder Options, i cant see anything that says "Show web contents in folders" Any other suggestions????
Hmm, well that's how you do it on Win2000, I don't have an XP box here to check on. Look through the Tools/Folder Options for "web content" or something like that...or "Use classic folder view". If I can get back to this tonight from my XP machine I can tell you for sure the exact steps; I can't remember them off-hand as I disable that junk once when I first set up my machine and never bother with it again.
One other option would be to open a command prompt (start/run then type in cmd and press enter) then type:
C:
cd \
del folder.htt
The folder.htt is the file that is showing those globes. It may be hidden, so in the Folder Options you may need to select "Show all files".
