Hi, A few days ago I asked a question regarding backup/restore software (allowing to restore entire disk images from an external USB disk when booting from a boot CD...). I saw that there are implementations of 'dd' for Windows: anybody ever experimented backups using this small utility ? Thanks. Spendius

Yesterday I restored an earlier registry using ERNDT, from 4 days ago. Have done this before, never had a problem. But since yesterday, it seems to have caused a minor problem. Had this problem a long ago in W98 but forgot the solution. In Copy or Move, etc, as the file is dragged to a new location, a balloon legend with the file name pops up. In Folder Options, I unchecked show path, etc. How to kill the legend comment? Advice? ms

How to cancel a CHKDSK /F in progress?
by Guest void.no.spam.com@gmail.com- 7 replies

If I am doing a chkdsk /f, and the power goes out, I will have a few minutes to shut down the system before my UPS battery runs out. How do I gracefully stop the chkdsk process? Let's say I'm running the chkdsk from the recovery console. What if I'm not doing it from the recovery console, but I had scheduled it to run during a restart? Would it be possible to stop it gracefully in that situation?

I want to disable file/folder sharing, Thought it was done in TweakuI, but I don't see it. I searched, came up with data: ------ 1. First, right click on "My Network Places" and select "Properties".

Terminal Services sessions timeout?
by Guest alex.birchall@gmail.com- 1 reply

I used to remotely administrate a Windows 2000 server with TightVNC. With TightVNC, I could log onto the server and start processes that run in DOS windows, lock the server and disconnect. I could then reconnect later on to the same session. Since the server was rebuilt, I am having to use Remote Desktop from a Windows XP client to administer the server. The problem with this is that it appears that these Remote Desktop sessions are timing out. I say this because when I remotely connect to the server I find no evidence that the processes that run in DOS windows are still running. The DOS windows have disappeared, and when I start the processes they begin a…
