How do I use the
Set the shooting mode to one of the two remote modes. The quick-response remote mode fires the shutter when you press the button on the remote. The delayed remote mode gives you two seconds to hide the remote behind your back before firing the shutter.
Press the Info button. Use the direction keys to the shooting mode (along the right side, fifth from the top). Press OK. Use up/down to select the remote modes (the two at the bottom).
For full details, refer to the "Shooting Mode" section in the D40x manual.

Deleting protected pictures
"Protecting Photographs from Deletion
In full-frame, zoom, and thumbnail playback, the button can be used to protect photographs
from accidental deletion. Protected files can not be deleted using the button or
the Delete option in the playback menu, and have DOS "read-only" status when viewed on
a Windows computer. Note that protected files will be deleted when the memory card is
formatted"
This is from the nikon website. You can down load the entire users manual here:

My camera will not power
Try this: with camera power switch in the "ON" position, remove the battery. Then press and hold the shutter release for approximately 30 seconds. Turn power switch "OFF", reinsert battery and turn back on.
Look on bottom of camera for a very small Hardware reset switch. If one ther, turn camera on and press for about 2 seconds.
Nikon d40x shutter stuck
The manual (pg 112) simply, and unfortunately, states this message "Press shutter release button again. If error persists, consult with Nikon-authorized service representative".
Some questions that might help: have you had the camera in some extreme conditions, damp, sand, etc. Clean the shutter button really well. Maybe use a small air blower and clean in the shutter release creases.
In the end, if the error continues, it will need to be serviced.

I have the same issue with my d40x. i have tried
You're in one of the point&shoot modes. In these modes the camera takes almost complete control of itself and leaves you with very few options. If you want more control over the camera, switch to one of the PSAM modes. The P mode works almost exactly like the green Auto mode, except that you can override any and every setting.
I have been given a 100-300mmF4.5-6.7DL Sigma lens
That is exactly why the auto-focus (AF) does not work with that lens on this camera. The D40, D40X, D60, D3000, D3100 and D5000 lack an AF motor built into the camera. These cameras will require that the lens have the AF motor to work as expected.
You can review a complete list of lenses (as of 8/2010) that have a built in AF motor
here.

Shutter life
The shutter will last indefinitely. There is no Life span listed on any camera for shutter life.

Good day,
Unfortunately you will have to buy a new lens.
Depending on what lens you are looking for it can range from $100 to well over $1000 for an original Nikon lens.
I am very sorry to hear about your lens!

When I try to take a picture you hear a clicking
You may be too close to your subject and the autofocus is not locking in. back up a few inches and the shutter should go off. Try turning off auto-focus.
If this isn't the case it could be a shutter problem. Turn off the flash (if you don't you'll get blinded during my next step) look inside the barrel of the lens and click the shutter...you should see a little flicker inside the lens as you hit the shutter button. If you do see it, then it is in fact just the shutter...if not it's the camera itself. Be sure you are holding the shutter button down completely...as halfway only allows you o focus.
