How do I disconnect from a network share?
by Guest Ant- 5 replies
- 323 views
Hello! After connecting to a network share successfully that requires me to log in (user name and password) through a shortcut or manually (e.g., \\192.168.1.123\), how do I disconnect so that when I connect again without a reboot, I get a password prompt again since I am using shared machines (Windows 2000 and XP; good to know for Vista too if it is different). Thank you in advance. :) -- "What reason, like the careful ant, draws laboriously together, the wind of accident sometimes collects in a moment." --Friedrich von Schiller /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phillip/Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality…

No longer getting a "preview" of JPG images when viewing a Folder
by Guest scscompa- 6 replies
- 349 views
I have not been to these newsgroup/forum entries for years... Since Win 2000 Beta. Sorry, if I post this in the incorrect spot. Anyway - I have recently (yes, I still use Win 2000 Pro) had a couple of problems resulting from my installing latest Windows Update fixes. of two weeks ago I am not surprised with that -- I know how support of older systems can be a complicated matter -- and, in turn, I have resolved (with Microsoft's help) both of the key problems -- but, not this one: I no longer get a "preview" of a JPG when I single-click on the item when on folder-view. I can go through View->Customize folder and end up with a "fancy" preview (I ha…

unexpected Blue Stop Screen
by Guest Ushnell- 1 reply
- 238 views
In the history of using my computer running Windows 2000 PE I have never received such error screen but I guess it depends on what you are doing that triggers it to come up. It seems some program was busy accessing the hard drive and the indicator light in front of the PC was fully lit. I inserted a DVD in my CD\DVD drive then I got a blue screen : *STOP:0x0000001E (0xC000000, 0x7CC40ED9, 0x00000000, 0x7CC40ED9) KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED what the heck is this weird thing supposed to mean and how do I prevent it from popping up again? thanks in advance. -- Ushnell Fenell

Shortcut to change password dialog
by Guest rvaas- 3 replies
- 277 views
Hi everybody, I want to create a shortcut to open the change password dialog for the current user. The users can´t use Ctrl-Alt-Del because they only connect via Terminal Server - and they asked whether they could change their passwords whenever they want (it works when the password expires, but they want to control when they change it). Is there a way to open that dialog via explorer with command line options or WMI call (maybe via VBS) to open that dialog? Kind regards, Rudi

cmd.exe and others: 0xc0000142
by Guest marcosignacio@gmail.com- 3 replies
- 250 views
Hi, Im experiencing some problems with cmd.exe (0xc0000142)'s popups, and sometimes initiating some services (ie mysqld-nt.exe). Note that I CAN run cmd.exe normally. The strange part of this is that this isnt happening always.. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. I already ran hijackthis, online/local (updated) AV scanner, adaware, spybot S&D ant others, without any luck. Plus I ran sfc /purgecache and sfc /scannow with the same result. Any advice on this will be very appreciated. Thanks, Ignacio.

maintain user profiles when changing domain
by Guest JT in VN- 5 replies
- 283 views
We have rebuilt our server to a new domain. How can we keep user profiles with minimal interruption? I found the "Copy To" user profile function in System Properties but I'm not sure what exactly it copies over. Does it just copy over the users folders such as My Documents, Favorites, Desktop, etc? Or, does it also copy over settings like drive mappings and printer mappings and other settings? It is important that the Outlook settings also copy over (along with Outlook rules). Please help! We have a lot of PC's to migrate and manually copying over profiles and then re-creating drive mappings and printers and other settings is going to waste a lot of…

Hyperterm error (non-admin user) Windows 2000 Professional
by Guest BertieBigBollox@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 199 views
When I try to run a hyperterm session as a non-admin user I get the following error mesage:- Windows has reported a TAPI error (80000048). Use the phone and modem options icon in the control panel to ensure a modem is installed properly. However, when I run as admin user it works fine. Funnily enough, there is no modem icon in control panel and I cant find modem.cpl either (this is a secure clamped down machine). Is there another way to stop this mesage?

A query on raid arrays
by Guest nesredep egrob- 1 reply
- 193 views
I have a 750 SATA disk on which I hold all my photos and video. When that disk is half full it will be a devil to backup. I therefore thought that I should install another similar disk in a raid array. Well I sat down and read and worked my way through it and eventually got there but not without some extra unexpected work - that being saving what was on the original 750GB disk as I got a message duing the installation that all data would be lost. I wonder if I got it wrong at some time as I would have thought that the new disk should have picked up what was already stored. It is now done - I have the raid array working fine now - I just wonder if I could have…

Can't Log On to Windows
by Guest Ushnell- 6 replies

Windows 2000 is treating me as if I am a thief that is trying to break into my own computer after I made a change to the Local Security Policy in the Management console. I don't know exactly what is causing the log on screen to say it can't log me on to the system but I think it's the "log on as system" setting I applied before restart that is causing this but why? any help to this problem will be appreciated. -- Ushnell Fenell

Script Triggered Following a Specific System Event
by Guest basis_consultant@hotmail.com- 2 replies
- 224 views
Hi, We are running Oracle and SAP on a Win 2000 server. Once or twice a week, the Windows server logs a system event of type 'error' and source='eventlog' ,which shuts Oracle down. Not much information is contained in the event description. There aren't any scheduled tasks at that time..To resolve this, and other, issues, we are looking to move the Oracle/SAP systems to a better Win2003 server. However, until that task will be completed, we are also looking a way to trigger a job which will execute a command script (*.cmd file) to start Oracle and SAP after Oracle crashes (Again, the event log is type 'error' and source 'eventlog'). So, can anybody pl…

Computer Based Group Policy
by Guest gsmith@gbmc- 0 replies
- 173 views
I would like to create a computer based policy to customize start menu and desktop icons for Windows XP users. I know you can do this via a user-based GPO, but the computers that I need to apply these lockdown group policy features to are autologin pcs that log into the local worksation, but are members of a 2003 domain so therefore I need a computer based policy. If this can't been done via GP, are there other ways. I need to do things like create a policy that will allow no icons on desktop and nothing on the start menu. Thank you.

I am very puzzled by the lack of items in the history folder; both internet sites visited and other docs. I open IE 6 and only sometimes i see some of the sites that I have visited but most of the time it is empty. And if it does shjow something, I open another instance of IE and there there won't be anything there!! Strange. I have seen after some search that maybe the History folder is corrupt and needs deleting, I tried that but I cannot do it obviously becasue it is a system folder, and even if I log on as the administrator, and so a different user, and insure that the folder is shared, it will give me an error message that it cannot be deleted as it …

Quick Launch toolbar re-arranged by OS
by Guest Green Fingers- 0 replies
- 163 views
Hi group, newbie to this group, oldie to W2K. I had my Quick Launch Toolbar nicely grouped with all my favorites together, then automatic downloads updated something and quietly re-arranged my toolbar alphabetically, which is something I really did not want as I was accustomed to my layout. Now I have to go back and redo it all over again. What I'd like to know is why Microsoft thinks they have to control everything. Just who says everyone wants or needs their QLT arranged alphabetically without asking? Their empirical domination (akin to that of Symantec in changing users' settings without permission) and their obvious bullying approach is not tolerable, especi…

my appologies if this posts twice, I tried once before. I was trying to make it easier to access my win 2k machine from the XP pc's on my home network. Other 2 connect/share fine.

All of a sudden my W2k is acting funny. My background is a picture from a digital folder. When I go to Control Panel - Display, on the background menu there are no options that I can use. I can change nothing. All other portions of Display seem to be operable, all except Background. In addition the icon that were previously to the right of the Start icon on the screen are gone. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have been using Acronis Disk Director to manage my partitions and, until now, it has worked pretty well. Today, however, I tried an operation that seems to have hosed one of my partitions, though I believe the data is still intact. These are all NTFS. Before, I had two partitions C: Primary, Active D: Extended/Logical I then ran a resize and create operation so that I would end up with C: no change D: shrink partition, leaving room at the end E: new primary partition created from D's space However, the actual result was that I got C: no change D: reports original size, 0 bytes free, unreadable If I try to chkdsk, I get the error in the subject line…
