Looks good! I just changed the rule like this and then ran it manually. It did move the spams that were in my inbox to the junk. Now, let's just see what will happen when new ones come in...

In the last few days, I have been receiving a glut of spam messages on my work e-mail address in Outlook 2007. These messages show my name as the sender and appearing to come from my e-mail address....

I don't know if I would consider IE9 alone a reason to upgrade to Win7, but for someone who's already on Vista or Win7, it might be worth looking into.

I, for one, have had problems with IE8...

I sometimes do write the key on a Post-It note attached to the disc, but I never did that with the last few computers I bought. http://windowssecrets.com/forums/images/smilies/blink.gif I should...

Thanks for the links. I had thought about using one of those programs to check my keys. http://windowssecrets.com/forums/images/smilies/dry.gif

I said I have a retail of XP Home.

Hmm. That's good to know. http://windowssecrets.com/forums/images/smilies/dry.gif

I just happen to have a retail copy of XP Home, SP2. If I ever do decide to retire my laptop to its original OS, I...

Aren't the keys for a particular service pack level as well? I thought the key would only work on a disc with the same service pack that was pre-installed on the computer.

I had also heard that a...

Oh, I know. I probably wasn't clear on my previous post: I was thinking about using another XP Home CD to recover the original OS, much like Pete's daughter did, not using its product key with my Pro...

Hmm. I wonder if that trick would work on XP. I have an old laptop that came with XP Home, but no recovery disc. I purchased a retail copy of XP Pro and completely wiped the hard drive on the laptop...

When would I ever need to use the product key printed on the Certificate of Authenticity sticker on a Windows system? I have wiped and re-installed Windows on several of my computers using the...

If it's a laptop, I would check that Num-lock isn't turned on -- that is if it's only the keys on the right side that are acting weird.

Thank you, Stephen, for the explanation of how Ctrl+Alt+Delete works. And thank you, Lee, for the IT guy's perspective.

I don't think there is a specific policy pertaining to the keystroke, at...

We don't have very stringent restrictions on the computers on this network, and I do have administrator access to all the computers I use, so that isn't a concern for me (knock on wood). In fact,...

When I joined the computers I use at my office to the company's domain, they were automatically set to require me to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del before going onto the login screen. For some machines, such as my...

I'm glad I found this topic. I, too, had a computer with Vista Home Premium, but bought an upgrade of Windows 7 Professional.

I just tried the Easy Transfer method to transfer the user settings to...

OK. I didn't realize the patch for that had already been released. Thanks.

I had heard that Service Pack 1 will allow Windows XP Mode even if the computer's processor doesn't support Hardware-Assisted Virtualization.
Does anyone know if this is true?

For the record, this solution only works up to Windows XP. The boot system was changed for Vista and Win7, thus not applicable to my situation.

However, I tried EasyBCD, and that did the trick....

About a year ago, I built a computer which I had set up to dual-boot Windows XP Pro and the release candidate of Windows 7. Since I seldom used Windows 7 on this system, I decided to keep it...

I have an Asus EeePC netbook with Windows XP Home. I set up an administrator account for myself and a regular user account for my girlfriend.
