Microsoft Releases Changelist for Upcoming XP SP2
Microsoft Releases Changelist for Upcoming XP SP2
from the times-they-be-a-changing dept. posted by simoniker on Thursday December 18, @05:30 (microsoft) As we know from independent sources, Microsoft is busy [0]readying Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. They have published on their website a [1]changelist document (link goes to TechNet download page) detailing the nature of the security-related fixes and updates. The document is targeted towards XP admins and covers some interesting things such as the new Internet Explorer Pop-up Manager and various security policy changes. Some other juicy tidbits from the document: Internet Connection Firewall will be enabled by default, and there will be new support for something called "Execution Protection" which allows developers to make use of the NX (no execute) page guard flag on Intel's Itanium and newer AMD processors. An interesting read." Links: 0. http://news.com.com/2100-1016_3-5120...l?tag=nefd_pop 1. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...n/winxpsp2.asp |

Doesn't matter. The time will be displayed in your local time on your
machine. If his time is off it will display off on your end. He posted at 10 pm and it displays as 11pm on my end telling me his clock or time zone is off. If his clock is right, his post time will match my local time on my machine. Scott M. wrote: Maybe he is in a different time zone? "Chris Lanier" wrote in message ... Please fix your clock.

While the security fixes are important, I'm hoping that SP2 also fixes many
of the functionality bugs in XP, such as a virtually-unusable/undependable search utility. I shouldn't have to depend on a third-party free program, such as Agent Ransack, to ensure I am finding files -- and the contents of files -- that I am looking for, and that I am unable to locate by using the native XP Windows Explorer. And, please, please. let's hope the talented MS techhie gurus manage to get rid of the ~ file that appears on the desktop each time that I edit or update my OE address book.

No fix yet. MS is still working on it.

Knowing that something is possible is the first step to wisdom. I guess you
aren't there yet. If I tell you that I know there is a fix for this problem, you (well not actually you, because we now know that you need us to present the solution to you on a silver platter) could, oh I don't know....go to google.com or msdn.microsoft.com or an OE newsgroup and perhaps....ummmm....search for it yourself? Oh. yes, and you could even say something like "Thanks. I thought I was stuck with this behavior, but now I can get off my butt and locate the fix you mention and have my problem solved.

I'm sorry that I don't have the actual reference for you, but there IS
indeed a fix for this. "Tom Pepper Willett" wrote in message ... No fix yet. MS is still working on it.

I shouldn't have to depend on a third-party free program, such as Agent Ransack, to ensure I am finding files -- and the contents of files -- that I am looking for, and that I am unable to locate by using the native XP Windows Explorer. Explorer is a very bad file manager. There are other problems besides. Even with all the options unchecked, some folders are not visible. Actually, I don't use Explorer anymore because it LIES about folder contents. IF IE was showing something else than the real content of a web page, people would be furious that MS was screwing up the content of a page. But nobody seems to be annoyed by the fact that Explorer shows another "reality" of their disk. I can't trust a program which deliberately lies and MS will not prevent me to see what's going on with my data. I'm speaking about index.dat files, for instance. And then, this : http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318872 "By default, Windowx XP sorts numerals in strings that are contained in file and folder names according to their numeric value. " Why the hell do they change that ? Without any mention, of course. Try to create some files with numbers in their name like this This is the sort in 2K Ie4_01 Ie4_128 Ie401sp2 Ie5 Ie501sp2 Ie6 This is in XP Ie4_01 Ie4_128 Ie5 Ie6 Ie401sp2 Ie501sp2 I quit Explorer a long time ago and I use Total Commander, the best file manager. http://www.ghisler.com Pierre. |

Oh, and by the way, it took about 45 seconds to locate this using Google:
http://www.sptimes.com/2003/11/10/Te...ror_mean.shtml And anyone who got my information that there IS indeed a fix for this would have only needed to spend those 45 seconds on Google to find their answer. This IS helpful information. Your reply, blasting me for not holding your hand and wiping your nose is NOT helpful to anyone here. It's always someone like you, who turns a thread into a personal war that makes these newsgroups really SUCK sometimes. It's also why many people don't post on the newsgroups, because they don't want to have to endure endless drivel from the likes of people like you. Have a nice day.

Scott: I read the URL you provided. I think it should be classified more of a "work-around" rather than a fix. Until MS fixes it ;-)
