desktop background + posting 'keeping'

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Read it somewhere in the forum but forgotten the exact location. Basically I
want to know how can I add my own pictures on the desktop background.

Secondly, how can I keep a copy of my posting and the replies from all the
expert. At the moment, I transfer it to Word, which at times, its very
tedious, TIA

Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000 is akin to bear skins and stone knives.

Do yourself a favor and setup a real newsreader.

Outlook Express came free with XP.

Use it.

You will later wonder why you didn't setup OE as your newsreader sooner.

1.Place the jpeg of your choice in the following folder
C:\windows\web\wallpaper, then R\Click Desktop > properties > Desktop tab,
select your picture from the list. Check the properties of the
existing jpegs in the wallpaper folder EG 800X600 pixels.

2. If you use Outlook Express to read News Groups instead of the CDO
interface you will be able to save your own posts in the sent items
folder. Also you can create an hierarchy of folders to keep replies
from the post you wish to retain.

I have set up Outlook Express 6.00 and subscribed to
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general and downloaded the messages. The funny
thing is it downloaded from the latest till 11th july, thereafter the next
on is 7th july. Just wondering why is it not downloading those 10th-8th july.
Furthermore I posted 2 different subject headings, but 1 of them posted on
the 11th was not downloaded . Is there any configuration that I need to do
here, please advice, TIA

Is that why you're still using X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000
here, now?

Are you using msnews.microsoft.com as your News Server or are you using one
from your ISP? Like netnews.comcast.net for example.

OE |Tools | Options | Read tab | Under News, do you have Get 300 headers at
a time UNChecked?

[[If you want to download all headers each time you open a group, clear the
check box labeled Get 300 headers at a time.]]
Outlook Express newsgroups 101
http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/newsgroups101.mspx

Check your View menu settings.
