Two questions please
I have been running XP on my old computer and managed to configure it so
that when I switched it on, it went straight to the desk top. With my new
computer I have to click on the user button to activate the desk top. What do
I need to do to go directly to the desk top?.
When I close my computer down I have a box that says WMS idle I then have to
click to end programme. How do I get rid of this.
Have I got hidden programmes running in the backgrounf?
You help would be appreciated
