FAQ, Tips, Hints, and Wisdom for Windows 98x/XP

I've had enough of Easy CD creator and (Direct CD?) and want to remove it/them. I've seen reports that

removing it can also cause other problems such as the inability to use the CD ROM drive. Has anyone

removed this from their system (XP Pro)?

See this:

How to cleanly uninstall / reinstall Easy CD Creator 5 in Windows XP

Alternatively, do the following:

Run Uninstall from Add/Remove programs. Then get file www.aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip

and

from it extract cdgone.reg and merge to the registry - it removes references in the registry that get left by

the uninstall. Reboot, and install whatever program you want to use

File Security Access

So you have already figured this out and guess that the only hope is to upgrade to Windows Professional

so you can get full file security access. Well, not necessary! There is a command that will allow you to set

privileges to what ever you want for whatever file. Here is a step by step procedure (which Microsoft told

me after hours on the phone) to fix this problem:

Hit Start (you know that annoying Green Button)

Click on RUN and type CMD

This starts the command interpreter. Using standard DOS command (remember the C. stuff), go one level

above the directory you want to change the privileges. You cannot changes the privileges in the directory

you are in!

type CACLS xxx where xxx is the directory name of interest

This will display the current privileges. Note "BUILT-IN" read privileges for users. To set USER

privileges to full, do the following, type:

CACLS xxxx /E /T /G USERS:F

You just set all USERS privileges for the xxxx directory and all sub directories to Full access. If you do

not want to set all users to full, you can substitute USERS to any login username you would like or

EVERYONE. If you choose EVERYONE, beware since this opens it up to Internet folks.

If you want to get the command for CACLS, type it in by itself.

Use this at your own risk. This has allowed me to open my Program Files so that users can run games and

other programs and save their games.

Firewall – Problems and Disabling

If you are having problem using a router with XP, try making sure the Internet Connection firewall is

disabled. It is installed by default when you establish network. ICF does not check outbound traffic, so it

is useless as a Trojan detector. Better to use something like Zone Alarm, Tiny, or Sygate.

The XP firewall can be disabled by going to Control Panel>Network Connections - then highlight your

connection and 'Change settings for this connection in the left column, click the 'Advanced' tab and

uncheck 'ICF - Protect my computer...'.
