I need to undo what I did in Users and Passwords

Please --- I hope you can help this grandmother of 10 to undo what I did. I bought my computer from my work back in 2003. It came with Windows 2000 Professional. Previous to my getting into Users and Passwords today -- on the Control Panel I used to be able to turn my computer on, and everything would come up on the screen without putting a password in. Well due to my daughter and her small children (my grandchildren), planning to come and live with me. I thought that I would fix my computer so that it required a password to get into it. This is the first time I ever attemped to do this. If I can get things back to the way they used to be, maybe I…

Windows Server 2000 Terminal Services Remote Administration Client
by Guest Robert Lindholm- 1 reply
- 280 views
Hello: I'm migrating several services from a Win2K server to a Win2K3 server and would like to setup remote administration [via terminal serivces] to ease the transition. I have used this feature previously [several years ago now] and was pleased with it's [relative] capabilities at the time, but decided to disable this functionality once I'd migrated most of my services over to newer [Win2K3] machines. I'm trying to re-establish this capability and while the server-side component setup seems relatively straightforward, I haven't been able to determine what facilities are still available for the client-side. I would like to setup the [remote] adm…

W2KPro weird behaviour after Security Bulleting update on 12/12/07
by Guest LabYardJunky- 2 replies

Hi, My sincere aplogies, If i have posted it to the wrong newsgroup. Yesterday my system Win2Kpro Sp4 received 4 updates KB937894, KB941568, KB942615-IE6SP1...,KB941569. Problem1: Unfortunately I have a local VC++ program compiled using Windows socket WS2_32.lib and MSVCRT.lib stops loading when running from DOS command prompt. What is application does is just listen to a port and when anything connected to that port it just relay that information to a server inside my firewall. Like a port forwarding service but much simpler. The program compiles, but when loading it chokes as if someone already using that port. I changed that port# to various others …

KMODE EXCEPTION
by Guest ronnie- 0 replies

rRight now my confuser (computer) has decided it doesn't like me. So it decided one day to show it was the boss. When it was started one dayit decided to give the kmode exception not handled error. The system also didn't like the hot fix. Problem is the system reeefuses to let me know, if it wasn't applied right. Or if the hot fix wasn't what it wanted. Memory testers have provided results that isn't what makes it act up. Also the error happens when the onboard graphics is used. When the system is started normally, the error information is 0xC0000005, 0xBFC816C2, 0X00000000, and 0x00000D0A. For some reason the system only will provide that informati…

Creating a share at the server root
by Guest bg_ie@yahoo.com- 1 reply
- 278 views
I have a problem with my Access database and a solution is offered on the following website - Microsoft Access Performance FAQ http://www.granite.ab.ca/Access/performancefaq.htm Here's the solution - "Alternatively I'd suggest having the network people setup a share right on the directory that contains your database. Instead of using \ \Server\Dir1\Subdir2\Subdir3\subdir4\subdir5\backend.mdb you'd use \ \server\Sharesubdir5. " "They can can append a $ to the end of the share name to make it a hidden share so as to not confuse people. You would also need to use a $ at the end of the share name as well. As in \\server \Sharesubdir5$." I have full righ…

Couple of shell annoyances
by Guest Roger Fink- 0 replies
- 253 views
I'm having two unrelated problems with Windows Explorer that ought to be solvable. First, for the file "Loceal Settings", the checkbox for "Hidden" refuses to stay unchecked beyond more than the current session. Once the system is rebooted, the option is automatically rechecked, even though I'm the administrator this is the profile I use every day. This is true for my desktop only; my W2K laptop doesn't have this problem. Also, in the right hand pane of Windows Explorer the column heading widths can be set by right-clicking the heading, selecting "More", and then specifying in the width. The default folder/file column width is way too short, at least for me,…

Laptop HD upgrade, NTLDR is Missing!!
by Guest Stephen- 10 replies

I have a Compaq Evo N600c laptop, with Windows 2000 Pro. The existing 30GB HD gave me a scare the other day when the machine started and wanted to scan the drive for errors. It had previously shutdown normally. The scan showed 32K of bad sectors, so I thought it time to replace it. The original drive was a Hitachi Travelstar, but I could get an identical new one, so I got a Hitachi Travelstar 60GB drive instead. A sector-by-sector copy was taken using Ghost 8.5, and this was put onto the new drive. When mounted in a USB casing the new drive functions fine, and all the files in the new drive are accessible. However the laptop will not boot from it. I have …

New Infrastructure.

Hi All, We are in the process of setting up a complete new Infrastructure Server 2003/XP clients. The existing infrastructure setup is as follows – Main Site: Hosts the PDC and a further 25 servers and is connected via the cloud to a satellite site. Satellite Site: 9 Servers (Including the BDC) connected to various router and hubs. Scanner- Plotter are networked and used by a number of PC’s. I need the Scanner and Plotter to be retained as legacy equipment as they cannot in their current status be attached to the new system because they have not been approved by the accreditors and pose a possible security risk. (The old infrastructure will cease t…
