IE8 right-click problem solution

Had trouble with the right-click function in IE8. Could not right click anything. It was very annoying. I did research and found a solution that fixed the problem. Posting the fix at Banana Munki just in case it could help someone else who experience the same annoying trouble.

  1. Go to RegEdit
    path C:/Windows/regedit.exe
  2. Go to the following location
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
  3. Find the key named NoBrowserContextMenu
    double click and change the value to 0

Windows XP halt at Welcome screen

A friend had trouble starting up his computer because it halted at the welcome screen. He had to Ctrl+Alt+Del ones to get it past. I ran Chkdsk F to fix this problem. I have found a handy guide at eguide.com how to go about running the valuble tool Chkdsk F included in Windows XP to automatically fix the problem. You can find it here (click this text). Or you can read the following text in this post.

In case of that page disapearing in the future, I copy & paste the text on to here:

An extra note: I did not have to go through step 10. At mentioned in step 9, the computer adviced to run the Chkdsk at the next reboot.
