Why does my computer always wake up when I put it to sleep
? I have a notebook with Vista installed and I have a problem that I never had with my XP notebook. Whenever I put it to sleep, it wakes back up and the battery goes down. It's like having a newborn baby that just won't sleep through the night. What can I do to make it stay asleep until I want to use it again? Thanks. - Pam L. ANSWER: The culprit often seems to be the Wake on LAN feature. It's designed to wake up the computer whenever there's any network activity. You can disable the feature in Device Manager. Here's how: 1. Click Start | Control Panel | Device Manager (in Classic view) or just type "device manager" in the Search box. 2. In Device Manager, expand "Network Adapters" 3. Right click your network adapter and select Properties 4. Click the Power Management tab 5. Uncheck the box that says "allow this device to wake the computer" In other cases, it can be mouse or even the multimedia sharing settings. In the case of the mouse, follow the steps above but choose the mouse instead of the network adapter. If that isn't the problem, try going to Control Panel | Power Options and in the settings for your power plan, scrolling down to Multimedia settings and choosing "allow the computer to sleep." Also, you may need to change to a power option other than "High Performance."

Don't display program in Frequently Used Programs list
QUESTION:
XP makes a list of the programs that you've recently used. Well, for reasons I won't go into, I sometimes use a program that I'd rather than have listed there for everyone to see. Is there a way to keep it from appearing in that list? Thanks. - Dale C.
ANSWER:
Hmmm. Spending on-duty time playing solitaire, are we? Well, there are a couple of approaches but you might or might not be able to make the necessary settings changes if you don't have administrative privileges. The easiest way to remove an item from the list is to right click it and select Remove From This List. However, that's only a temporary solution - it'll come back when you use it again, so you have to keep doing this every time you open the program.
There's a registry edit you can use to permanently exclude a specific program from appearing on the list. Here's how to do that:
If you're super secretive and don't want any of the programs you use to be displayed, you can edit the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. There you can set the number of entries allowed to populate this section. If you change the setting to zero, this prevents any programs from being displayed.

VM licensing question
VM licensing question QUESTION: I am running Vista Home on my PC, but I upgraded from XP. Am I free to use my XP license as a VM OS? I have bought Vista and have a separate license for that so in theory my XP license is currently wasted. - Christian E. ANSWER: It might seem that way, but actually if you upgraded your OS from XP to Vista, your XP license was incorporated into your Vista license. That's because the upgrade version of Vista costs substantially less than the full version (for example, Vista Ultimate upgrade was, at time of release, $259 as compared with the $399 full version price). Here's what the XP EULA says: "After upgrading, you may no longer use the product that formed the basis for your upgrade eligibility." However, if you had wiped out XP completely and installed the full version of Vista, then your XP license would allow you to install it on another computer, which could be a VM. Here is the pertinent part of the EULA: "You may move the product to a different Workstation computer. After the transfer, you must completely remove the product from the former Workstation computer." This applies to both the Home and Pro editions of XP. (Note: Although this question pertains to the XP license, we find that there are a lot of Vista users who find themselves wondering about this after upgrading so we're addressing it here in the Vista newsletter).
