Completing an OEM Install of XP--How to Do a Bit More??

[W. eWatson]

I just successfully install of the XP OEM, full version. No icons
appeared on my desktop. I figured out how to put on My Computer. Don't
know for Network Places. The others I'll deal with as I install.

An old drive is now in the place of D. It has lots of folders and files.
I tried searching a folder there, and all Search would allow is D. How
do I get to Browse a selected folder? I noticed some file suffixes or
empty. I thought properties for a folder would fix that, but not.

I've sorted these difficulties out, and am progressing nicely.

Have you considered transferring your settings from another
machine ? I mean, you can probably find all the fiddly little
settings that make Windows the way you want it, but it takes
a while to rediscover all of them. I don't enjoy that part.
