- When trying to install Total Control, I get a "Insert Disc" message and then an "Can not find the cab file" Error.
Extract the contents of the zip file, into one folder. Make sure that the Total control.CAB file is present.

- I have purchased Total Control version 2.1. Recently I downloaded the latest version 2.3. I tried to use the registration information I already have, to register the new version, but I get a "Unregistered copy" message.
The registration information you have received, applies only to the version of the Total Control that you have registered.
If you wish to upgrade to the latest version, you have to contact us at sales@icxr.com.

- It appears that the task bar text feature has erased the AM/PM indication on my system. How can I reset this to once again get the AM/PM feature back?
This issue has been fixed in Total Control version 2.0.
The easy way to fix it, is to open the Control Panel and click the International settings icon. Then click the "Time" tab and notice that the values for the PM and AM symbols has been changed. Reset these values manually to get the symbols back.
The hard way is to tweak the registry. Please use the Backsys add-in for Total Control or any other software to make a recent backup of the Registry before you go on.
Open the registry editor (Go Start button/Run, type regedit and hit OK). Navigate to the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International and at the right pane of the editor you will find two values named s1159 and s2359. Delete these values and that was.
Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

- I see Win 95/98/Me listed, but not 2000. Is this program compatible with Windows 2000 or Windows XP?
No!
Although Total Control can be installed and used in Win 2000/NT/XP, and the majority of the functions will work, it is not recommended to apply any changes under these environments.

- In the "Menus" panel, I used the option to hide the "Control Panel" and "Printers" submenus of the Start/Settings menu. Although it did work for the menus, these folders have been disappeared from "My Computer" as well. What is going wrong?
Nothing is going wrong. This behavior is by design for Windows. If you hide the menus, the Control Panel and Printers folders will not appear in "My Computer".

- I have used the "Icons" panel to change the icons for my drives. How do I get back the original ones?
Open the drive you wish to reset its icon and delete the file "Autorun.inf". In most cases this will work.

- The "Open" and "Explore" submenus have been disabled, in the menu that appears when I right click the Start button. How can I enable the menus again?
Usually, this happens if you have used Total Control or any other software, to hide drives in Explorer.
To fix it, start Total Control and go to the "Misc" panel. Check the "Fix Start button's context" option and apply the changes to fix the problem. This will also cause any hidden drives to be visible again.

- I have lost the Internet Explorer's window. Although its button exists in the taskbar, I can not see the I.E. nowhere. What is happening?
The Internet Explorer's window is probably off screen. Somehow, it has been created outside the visible part of the screen.
To fix it, start Total Control and go to the "Misc" panel. Check the "Reset I.E. window location" option and apply the changes to fix the problem. The next time, the I.E. window will be created with default coordinates inside the screen.

- In the "Deep" panel, I have used the "CD ROM max speed" option, to set the speed for my CD ROM to 24x. Why the CD ROM section in the System applet, declares my device as 4x?
The CD ROM properties section in the System applet, found in the Control Panel, is restricted to show the 4x as the maximum value. If Total Control shows that this is set to 24x, then this setting has been applied successfully.

- Why the Descol add-in does not set my custom colors to the desktop icons every time Windows start, although the "Run at Startup" option is checked?
After you have checked the "Run at Startup" option, you must click the "Set" button to store the settings.

- I have used the Winsec add-in to hide the Tray icons in the Taskbar. Why these icons become visible again, if I try to resize the Taskbar?
The Systray (Tray icons) is a window, as most Windows elements. What really the Winsec add-in does, when you hide the "Tray icons" is to destroy this window. When trying to resize or move the taskbar, Windows recreate the Systray window, so it becomes visible again.

- Why after I rebuild the icons cache in the Foldicons add-in, my Explorer icons are in a mess?
This is usual if you use this function for some times. Restart Windows and all the icons will be restored.

- Why I get a "Special folder" message when I try to change the icon for my History folder, in Foldicons?
Foldicons is designed to customize the icon for every folder in Explorer, but not the "Special" ones. The History folder is a special folder, so its icon can not be customized with the Foldicons add-in.
You can customize the icon for all the Windows' special folders with Total Control in the "Icons" panel.
