默認情況下， Windows XP不會允許您使用什麼，而是油脂和FAT32文件系統格式化您的USB驅動。 與一點鬼混您在您可移動的設備可能雖則也使能NTFS文件系統。 至於為您是否會要，有利弊。

在正面邊，使能NTFS允許您加密您的文件與在文件加密修造的Windows XP的(雖然您應該只做此在視窗2000或2003年領域網絡)。 它也允許對文件壓縮的用途舒展您的盤容量。 您能也使用NTFS允許，并且否認允許為各自的文件和文件夾在XP，您不可能做與肥胖文件系統的事之內。 您能也設置盤配額。 簡而言之，使能NTFS在一刹那驅動也許有幾個好處為它用途或發布這些設備作為標準的部門。 (更多…)

AutoRun自動地起動窗口節目
窗口的每個較新版本有特點以AutoPlay和AutoRun著名。 These functions are designed to launch applications automatically from a external device containing the necessary AutoRun information. This is what causes an installer window to pop up when you insert a software disc into your CD or DVD drive, for example, or makes a pop-up menu icon appear in the taskbar tray when you insert a USB flash drive. (In some cases, the action doesn’t occur until you double-click the flash drive icon in Windows Explorer.)

When a disc is inserted or a drive is connected to your system, Windows looks in the root directory of the new disc or drive for a file named autorun.inf. If found, Windows executes the instructions in that file. (more…)

While Windows Vista is indeed an evolution compared to its predecessor, Windows XP, there is a cocktail of minor glitches with the new operating system that have contributed actively to the product’s rough ride so far on the market. When, even before Vista hit the shelves at the end of January 2007, Jim Allchin, the former Co-President of the Platforms & Services Division described it as neither foolproof nor perfect, he was right on the money. With Vista, a range of issues also came to the table including hardware and software incompatibilities, reliability and stability problems and poor performance under specific scenarios.

And just such a scenario involves the integration of certain DVD-R/RW drives with the latest operating system from Microsoft. (more…)

Re-installing Windows can be a traumatic business, it’s bad enough having to backup all of your data and re-install your programs but the worst bit is tracking down all of the drivers for your hardware and peripherals. Here’s a simple way to avoid the hassle, a freeware program called DriverMax. It finds and exports all of the drivers on your PC to a nominated folder or compressed Zip file, so there’s no need to waste time hunting down discs and downloads. When you have reinstalled Windows simply run DriverMax, import your saved drivers and you’ll be up and running again in no time flat. The program comes as a 30-day trial but you can apply for a free registration code and it’s your to keep. (more…)

After weeks of gruelling troubleshooting, I’ve finally had it confirmed by Microsoft Australia and USA something as small as swapping the video card or updating a device driver can trigger a total Vista deactivation.

Put simply, your copy of Windows will stop working with very little notice (three days) and your PC will go into “reduced functionality” mode, where you can’t do anything but use the web browser for half an hour.

You’ll then need to reapply to Microsoft to get a new activation code. (more…)
