Permanently set your flash drive’s default AutoPlay action

Save some time and frustration by configuring Windows XP to bypass AutoPlay and automatically launch Windows Explorer when you insert your flash drive.

———————————————————————————————

If you have a USB flash drive holding various Microsoft Windows XP files, you may want to configure the drive to automatically open Windows Explorer rather than display the AutoPlay dialog box.

You can select the Open Folder To View Files In Windows Explorer and select the Always Do The Selected Action check box but that only configures the flash drive for one file type. Here’s how to configure your flash drive to open Windows Explorer for all file types at the same time:

  1. Insert your flash drive into the USB port.
  2. When you see the AutoPlay dialog box, click Cancel.
  3. Open My Computer, right-click your flash drive icon, and select Properties.
  4. In the Properties dialog box, select the AutoPlay tab.
  5. Perform the following steps for each item in the Content Type drop-down list:
    1. Select an item in the Content Type drop-down list.
    2. Choose Select An Action To Perform in the Actions panel.
    3. Select the Open Folder To View Files In Windows Explorer action.
    4. Click the Apply button.
  6. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.

Now use the Safely Remove Hardware feature to remove your flash drive — wait a moment and plug it back in. You’ll see the AutoPlay progress appear momentarily, and then you should see Windows Explorer open to show the contents of the flash drive.

Note: This propecia for baldness tip is for both Windows XP Home and Professional.

Resend an Outlook message

If you’re like me, you sometimes do things the hard way because you just don’t know any better. For years, I’ve been forwarding e-mail messages when what I really wanted to do was resend them. Forwarding a message requires you to enter an address. Why should you do that if you want to resend the message to the original address? Well, you shouldn’t.

To propecia finasteride generic resend a message, locate it in the Sent Items folder (or the folder where you store sent messages). From the Actions menu, choose Resend This Message. In Outlook 2007, you can find this in the Actions group.

Startup and Shutdown Jingles

Do you ever get tired of the startup and shutdown jingle that plays on your Windows XP or Vista computer? If you said yes, here's a better solution! Now, you can use your favorite song or dialogue for your PC’s shutdown and startup music. It can be done with four simple steps, so let's get right to it!

Step 1

Choose the track you want to play during your computer's startup and shutdown times. The only limitations are that it should be in the .WAV format and the size of the file shouldn't be too big. You should keep it within 1 MB or your startup time will be much longer. If the file you want to use is not in the .WAV format, you can easily convert it by using a file converter.

Step 2

Next, rename the files as “Windows XP (or Vista) Startup.WAV” and “Windows XP (or Vista) Shutdown.WAV,” respectively.

Step 3

Now, go to C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA and you will find your new files listed there. Go ahead and move them to another location of your choice. That's required, just in case you need to revert back to those files at any time. They'll be much easier to find if you put them somewhere you can easily remember.

Step 4

To move them, just copy and paste them into the new location. That's it. Now, you can enjoy a new sound every time you start and shut down your computer!

So, I guess there's just one thing left to ask: What will you use for your new startup and shutdown jingle?!
