Where does the IP Configuration Tool go?

Windows 95/98/Me provides a Winipcfg.exe tool that makes it easy to check IP network details, but Windows XP

is no longer available This tool. Some cable modems (Cabel Modem) require the user to provide the MAC address of the network card. Without Winipcfg, where can I find the MAC address?

From the "Start" menu opens “Accessories →System Tools → system information & rdquo; (Figure). Oddly enough, the MAC address is hidden in the "component → network & rarr; adapter" section, rather than the "Internet settings" section, the latter mainly provides information related to IE browser. Unfortunately, the data provided in the "System Information", including the IP address, is not allowed to be modified.

In addition, Windows XP has a command line tool Ipconfig that functions like Winipcfg. From the Start & rdquo; menu selection & ldquo; Run & rdquo;, enter “ cmd & rdquo; then press Enter, Ipconfig /all on the command line can also see the MAC address (but here the MAC address is called "Physical Address" ). Use Ipconfig's /Release and /Renew options to release or reassign IP addresses.

Why can't I save JPEG

Sometimes, the page is clearly a JPEG format graphic, but whether you use the image toolbar of IE 6, or right click on the graphic and select “ Save As & rdquo;, IE only provides an option to save the graphic format ——BMP file. The BMP format greatly increases the size of the file, and converting JPEG to BMP does not help improve the quality of the image. If you want to use it on your own web page or forward it to a friend, the best choice is of course the original. JPEG format.

IE is not allowed to save images in JPEG format for the simple reason —— its temporary folder is full. In the IE, select the menu "Tools → Internet Options", select "Delete Files" in the "General" tab, and then click "Determine". Try it again when you're done, and IE allows you to save JPEG images.

<;Unread” Where is the mail hidden?

When you start Windows XP, sometimes the welcome screen will tell you that there are XX unread emails, and you are not connected to the Internet at all. Even the inbox is empty. What is the matter?

Click on the unread email link on the welcome screen to find out which email accounts Windows XP calls unread emails. If you always see two unread messages on the welcome screen, they are likely to be automatically generated welcome messages in Outlook Express or Hotmail mail accounts.

Accounts containing unread mail can also be found under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\UnreadMail key. If you don't want XP to track unread emails in a mail account, just delete the email account here; if XP thinks that an account has new mail but it doesn't, just set the corresponding Message Count key to 0. .

Figure 1

Creating a Message ExpiryDays subkey under UnreadMail and setting it to 0 disables the XP welcome screen from being read. mail. However, modifying the registry is not very convenient, and it is simple and safe to modify with TweakUI. Install and start TweakUI, select Logon→ Unread mail, and clear the Show unread mail on Welcome screen option.

Reinstalling IE 6 from the installation disk

Since Windows XP was born, IE has not been upgraded yet, so IE 6 on XP is currently the latest IE—— this may be &ldquo Add or remove programs & rdquo; The reason for not finding IE in the list, but in other versions of Windows, "Add or Remove Programs" will provide fixes, and occasionally have some usefulness.

XP's system file protection feature covers some of IE's most important files, so you don't have to fix IE a lot. However, if your IE does not perform properly and XP's system file protection feature does not work, you will need to reinstall IE. Even if you use broadband, downloading the entire IE is still not an easy task, but you can reinstall IE 6 from the XP installation CD.

Put the XP installation CD into the CD drive and run the following command from the Start & rdquo; menu: rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\\inf\\ie.inf. If this command is invalid, start Registry Editor Regedit, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\ActiveSetup\\InstalledComponents\\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}, change the value of this key from 1 to 0, XP will start automatically Install IE.
