I am using WinXP and when I try to shutdown it goes through the shut down process but instead of the computer powering itself off or prompting me to turn it off it restarts and brings me back to the (ctrl+alt+del) login screen as if I restarted. I am positive that I am clicking the "Shut Down"...

I called AOL to cancel my ISP service today and found out that I had an outstanding balance from last week. Comes out that someone somehow got ahold of my password and username then racked up $700.00 worth of long distance calls of some sort...well thats what AOL says. I was wondering why...

I have been looking for a program that will allow me to do a daily backup of only files that have been modified and archive it in a way that it is searchable. Can anynoe suggest a program that will do this? This is how I am doing it now. I run a search in WinXP by date modified. All files that...
