Hot key needed 1 2
by Guest sherwindu- 39 replies
- 1.3k views
I enter my email address and password to several browsers multiple times a day. Is there some way to set up a 'hot' key that can be used in my Windows 2000 operating system to make that job easier? I generally use Internet Explorer and Netscape. Will these browsers recognize a hot key from the operating system?

Hi! I have a windows server 2003 domain controller along with two other application servers.

Iam also able to save onto My Documents and Desktop. The error I get when trying to save onto "C" or "D" Drive is - "You do not have permissions to save in this Directory.

Downloads often stop at 50KB.
by Guest Robbie Hatley- 0 replies
- 213 views
(I asked the following question in one of these groups several days ago, but no one knew the answer, so I'm trying again, and also posting to two different groups. (I don't normally cross-post, but in this case it seems a good idea, because this issue seems related both to Win2K and to IE6.)) I've been having a problem recently on no less than two different computers, both running Win2K and IE6: when downloading files from the Internet, the download often stops at 50KB, with Windows thinking that the download is complete, even if the actual file size was 1.38MB or 11.85MB or whatever. Once this happens once, it can take many further attempts to get the downl…

Downloads often stop at 50KB.
by Guest Robbie Hatley- 2 replies

I've been having a problem recently on no less than two different computers, both running Windows 2000 Professional: when downloading files from the Internet, the download often stops at 50KB, with Windows thinking that the download is complete, even if the actual file size was 1.38MB or 11.85MB or whatever. Once this happens once, it can take anywhere from 10 to 100 further attempts to get the download to actually complete. I did find a partial work-around, by accident: if I empty the temporary Internet files, the next attempt to download the file usually succeeds. It's as if Windows sees a 50KB file named "Fred.zip" in it's cache, says "ah-ha, the user is…

Slow logon to desktop - winlogon ?
by Guest +Bob+- 2 replies
- 261 views
I have a Win2KPro system that spends a long time starting up before the desktop becomes active. That is, it puts the desktop up fairly quickly after logon, but it takes a couple minutes before the system is really ready for the user to interact. You can see the hard drive access running wild while you wait. A check in task manager shows that winlogon is using 25-40% of the CPU during this time. It acts like a system that lacks disk space and/or memory, but there's 10gb free on both drives and 500m main memory - that's always been plenty in my other win2K systems. Swap files are 766/2048. The main memory has around 300m used while it's doing the slow log on…

Turned on my PC today and I suddenly have a new profile, that I did not create (or at least that I realized I created). The admin profile name is Janice. But this new profile is Alice.Alice-Dell. Everything seems to be the same as in the Janice profile. But the Alice profile has a new registration number. My PC is almost dead in the water it runs so slow. ANY idea as to what happened and how I can fix it? OS is Windows Prof2000, PC is an older Dell laptop.

Show Desktop does not work
by Guest Todd Cary- 7 replies
- 392 views
By mistake I tried to install an older version of Sim Town on my Win 2K computer and the "Show Desktop" no longer works. The Microsoft site mentions this problem, however I have followed their instructions along with other suggestions and there appears to be something else missing. I even reinstalled IE. One suggestion was to use this command: REGSRV32 /n /i:U shell32. I used that and it did produce the icon, but clicking on it does nothing (it's contents agree with other documentation I have found). What other process could be missing? Many thanks.... Todd

OS Attempts to Install Non-existent Device ????
by Guest ygo3@yahoo.com- 2 replies
- 288 views
We are trying to install a Maxtor ATA 133 IDE PCI controller card, and it simply doesn't work. The new wrinkle is this: The card has been physically removed from the system. Every time the machine boots, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" appears and attempts to install the non-existent PCI device! Every time we attempt to install, the driver install (or update) dialog tells us that the driver cannot be found, although it is there. So, we UNINSTALL the device, and the uninstall wizard confirms that the device has been permanently removed from the system, that is, until the next time we boot, and this sad tale starts all over again. Anyone seen the movie "Groundhog…

I have a windows 2003 server acting as file server. I want to move the file server to a new windows 2003 server. I have several share folders that I want to move from the old file server to the new file server. Is there a way that I can export all the shares with its permissions to the new server. After I moved the shares I can restore the data from backup. Is there an article on doing this or can someone tell me the best way to do this. Thanks

External monitor on Docking Station - Wallpaper Problem
by Guest Carlo Baldini- 0 replies
- 208 views
Hello I have a user that is using an external widescreen monitor connected to his docking station for his fairly new HP nc6400 laptop. He is only using the external monitor, not both, and the external is coming through as monitor 1, his primary, and the other screen is greyed out. The screen displays fine, except for his deksotp wallpaper. For some reason his wallpaper is still displayed at the resolution of his laptop screen, not the external monitor. What's even weirder is that there is another copy of his wallpaper underneath that is displayed as fullscreen, so that he actually has two wallpapers, one on top of the other. This of course goes awa…

Windows 2000 TS, restricting users to 1 session
by Guest Chris Swinney- 0 replies
- 212 views
Hi all, I see that there are GPOs that can be set to restrict user creating more than 1 session for TS in Win 2003, but we have issues with a Win 2000 TS server. I have also noted that there are GPOs that use keepalive so that dropped session can be disconnected properly. We have remote users that connect in via VPN then use TS to run certain apps. Sometimes the VPN disconnects and the TS session is broken. I have set the option in the properties of the users so that they SHOULD be able to reconnect from any client, however, what appear to be happening is that the user attempts to log back on and a new session is started. I would like to set Win …
