PHANT, DO YOU NOT GET WHAT WAS ASKED??????
LOOK AT SNG'S POST ABOVE.....WIN XP DOES NOT HAVE THE "ADD VALUE" STRING.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DO IT IN XP NOT ME, XP NOT 98SE, XP NOT 2000, XP ONLY IN XP......
GET IT ????
Firstly, my post was not directed at you, more at the thread as a whole. Perhaps I should have made that clear.
Secondly, I will admit that there is a hint of cheek there, but the proper response to that is a bit of cheeky banter back, not some angry half rant.
Yes I do get what was asked, please don't patronise me. If you look carefully at the posts that have followed mine you will see that the instructions are easily adapted for the OS you are using. SNGX even posted a screenshot, which is pretty much a spoon fed answer I think.
If you are still having difficulties, the proper thing is to post back calmly and ask for more help.
Please remember that any help you get here is strickly on a volunteer basis; no one is getting paid for this or anything. If you aren't happy with the help you are getting, look elsewhere. In the final analysis, in many problems here including the one you have posted in this thread, all I have done is do a couple of google searches and gone to support.microsoft.com. Its hardly rocket science but I am more than willing to do that for others.
Please bare in mind that you may again post here looking for answers to questions that I may know the answer to, and being rude is not going to encourage me to be forthcomming.
Based on your previously mostly gentlemanly behaviour here, I will assume that your tirade in capital letters is partially the result of some bad day at work or something. But please do bare in mind, as I said, that any help I provide is done out of the goodness of my heart and is not a duty or an obligation, and as such I find your responses harsh. There's no need for anger unless someone has been completely out of order which I don't feel I was and I don't feel others will. Once again I was not having a dig at you, but on reflection can see how a sensitive person might take it that way. At a push, that is.
That said, I am in no mood for an argument now or in the near future so please don't start one as a result of this reply. Either take the help that was given in the spirit with which it was given or go elsewhere for answers.
