TrevaUK I use Hotmail because it's easily accessible from any internet enabled computer and it has a large Inbox, But all my important emails (ebay, paypal etc) I use my service provider's email address, which I don't make public.

Can I encrypt my files or folders in Windows XP without using any software?

TrevaUK I tried this, but the files I encrypted are just as easily accessible as if there was no encryption. There is no password option. So how exactly does it protect the files from unwanted intruders.

TrevaUK I have fixed it!. I did an Uninstall and reinstall of Internet explorer, and it appears to have worked. I did try the msconfig command and I removed 2 programs from the startup tab, that I don't need.

TrevaUK Thanks for the advice, It was the display card that was faulty. I removed the faulty AGP display card, and tried an old 2mb pci display card (remember those). It worked so I have ordered a new AGP Nvidia Geforce 5500

TrevaUK Why do buses have bus lanes? Buses only run every fifteen or twenty minutes, I don't believe that they need an entire lane to themselves, It takes up valuable road space for cars that is needed during rushhour, plus it makes the buses drive too fast, because...
