Win2K box can't see workgroup
by Guest engwar- 1 reply
- 369 views
I have a home network with two machines, one an XP Pro box and the other a Windows 2000 machine. After working flawlessly for a long time the machines no longer can 'see' each other. I am able to ping each machine from the other. Internet connectivity works for both boxes My Tivo box can see shares on the XP Pro box My XP Pro box can see the shares on itself but not shares on the 2000 box. The 2000 box can not see shared folders on either itself or the XP Pro box. If I'm on the 2000 box and I go under My Network Places-->Entire Network-->Microsoft Windows Network I can see the name of the workgroup but no shares appear under that. File and Pri…

Can someone tell me where to change the default mail client? And the handler for htmlfiles? What should the latter be? I was using Firefox and Thunderbird and removed them; however, the uninstaller didn't reset everything. Thanks.

Recycle bin - interesting problems
by Guest JR- 0 replies
- 333 views
After a recent crashed install of norton systemworks, completely lost the recycle bin - probably from a lot of manually deleted registry entries. Couldn't use the registry backup just before the install as it would not ''find'' the keyboard (even though device present). ugh? Could create shortcut to re/bin but showed as hidden and could be edited.... Went through earlier registry and exported all the keys relating to th re/bin on the desktop (namespace and the clsid entries) and imported to current registry. Now have desktop re/bin back with full and proper function. However, do NOT have same in explorer view. For example, rename desktop re/bin t…

Windows Explorer display mode
by Guest horst engel- 0 replies

I set the display of all directories in Windows Explorer in the detailed mode. But there are several directories I prefer to be displayed in the icon mode. I have been able to teach Explorer to show about 10 directories in this mode, but not any more. When I exit and reenter in the same window I have again the detailed mode. Is there any way to set a greater number of directories to be seen in the mode I like more? Thanks for your help Horst

Time issues on non-PDC domain controller
by Guest Guest- 2 replies
- 406 views
Hello, I'm posting because Google isn't bringing me anything. I've got a DC on a virtual server, that has been somehow freezing or being non-pingable. My real problem is, when it comes back after two-five minutes, it's time is off by that amount of time. It isn't a PDC nor does it hold any FSMO roles at all, though it is a GC and DNS. But the main thing is, how often does a non-FSMO DC check with the PDC to update its time? I have manually updated the time at least 3 times this week, and because the DC's machine name is first alphabetically it is the default responder for domain time, and some apps are having problems. I need to try to understand f…

Hi, Yesterday, my PC automatically updated and rebooted following a patch received from Microsoft update. The system event viewer shows the following event: Restart Required: To complete the installation of the following updates, the computer will be restarted within 5 minutes: - Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - July 2007 (KB890830) - Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB926122) After the reboot, it appeared that my desktop was completely reset as if I had just reinstalled Windows2000. I think what happend is that the patch somehow changed the folder references used under Documents and Settings to a new version of my user. If I look und…

My tape drive just went dead, and I'm upgrading it to a new one, and I figured since I'm spending the money anyways, might as well upgrade the software. I have used CA's ArcServe 7.0 and am somewhat happy with it. Not worried about ease of use as I can figure that out, I just want to see which is the best one and if anyone has had experience with them Which one of the following is a better backup management software?

Hi, I'm using the performance data helper library to write some performance counters to a log file but the only format available to me seems to be the CSV format.

New hard drive keeps reinstalling
by Guest Tim Ogiela- 4 replies
- 419 views
I installed a hard drive in an external USB container. It installed fine. I then partationed and formatted the drive as NTFS. Which also completed successfully. While copying data to the drive, the copy process froze. When I restarted the computer, the drive was no longer visibly available. I unstalled the drive and let the system redetect the drive. At this point it appears to install correctly and then at the finish it says "An error occurred during the installation of the device The specified service does not exist as an installed service." When the process is finished, it starts detecting the drive all over and then comes back to this error message. …

prevent files being deleted or modified...
by Guest Leslie- 1 reply
- 359 views
Hi. I have a growing number of files in NTFS folder shares (W2K) that I want to protect from modification or deletion by a group of users (call them 'GroupA'). I thought I would be able to achieve this by applying the deny delete, delete sub-folders and files, append data, change permission and take ownership permissions to GroupA on the files in question. As 'deny' permission takes precedence over 'allow' I expected any rights GroupA inherited to modify the file would have been superceded by the 'deny' permissions. However, when I tested this I found GroupA users were still able to delete the files. (I didn't check whether they could modify them) Look…

C2 compliance?
by Guest Ham Pastrami- 4 replies
- 436 views
I have read some articles about Windows NT/2K C2-compliance. The part that interests me is object reuse protection. Supposedly this means that disk space is initialized to 0 when it is allocated. However, I don't see this happening on my 2K system, not as far as I can tell. Wouldn't zeroing (for say, hundreds of megabytes) imply a long write to disk everytime a new file was created? I initially thought that C2 compliance could be achieved through configuration, but did not ship that way out of the box. Some of the articles state that the evaluation applies to off-the-shelf products, which is ambiguous as to whether that means default configuration or simply a l…

Run an application via file type association but inherited short name
by Guest flahmeshess- 1 reply
- 447 views
In window explorer, when I click on a file, it will run the application associated with the file type. In the file type, I set it as application.exe "%1" Normally, it would inherit the full path (including spaces). However, for one application, it inherited the short name instead. I wonder why ? It it due to the application or my settings in file type ? Thanks for your help in advance.

installing w2k alongside Vista
by Guest aa- 6 replies
- 493 views
I have a brand new HP computer with Windows Vista pre-installed. I need also w2k on the same mashine. I made a peimary partition using Vista built in Desk Manager. Now I have booted from w2k cd. Now I remembered from my experience with w2k-XP installations on one computer that they both use NTDETECT and NTLOADER files and is w2k is installed after XP, the XP would not boot because NTDETECT and NTLOADER installed by w2k are not compatible with XP. Questions: 1. Is it OK to have both Vista and w2k onthe same mashine? 2. Does Vista use NTDETECT and NTLOADER ? If it does, where do they reside so that I could back them up? I failed to find them, but this is…

I just upgraded my Window 98 to Windows 2000 Pro on my PC and it is not shutting down correctly. It starts to shut down, I can hear the drives in the box wind down, then I get a blue screen with a responsive mouse pointer ???. CTRL_ALT_DELETE will do nothing, nor will the power button on the tower. I have to kill power to the the tower, press the button to reboot. Even If I start up in safe mode and then shut down I still have a problem. The Windows 98 on this system ran correct. I know, I know I'm behind the times.....
