Several days ago upon reading in a security newsgroup: "Use two computer accounts. Using separate accounts will protect against the vast majority of malware. Use a Limited account for all of your daily work. Use an Administrator account only for administrative tasks." I know this is basic old hat but I'm slow. Anyhow I took the plunge and set up the two accounts. Orig Administrator account: AEM Changed to: AEM Admin (with administrator owned files on C:\Documents and Settings\AEM) Created new Limited account: AEM I then spent several hours copying needed files such as Start menu, Boolmarks, Favorites and personal utilities. I plugged alone for two-thre…

Geez, slide shows are so much easier :-) I have a wedding page made in Frontpage 2003, Used the insert web component, Photo gallery and got the thumbnails on the page OK, but when I upload the page to my website NO Thumbnaails. Picture holders are there but no pictures. The Photogallery folder is in the same folder as the page, and thats the way I understood it should be. Although I may be thourly confused, as I usually am :-) Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I've got Outlook/Office installed on my PC. I wish to run OE as my default mail program. I've got 5 users on this PC. Despite various measures that have been recommended by newsgroups etc, my system always seems to default back to Outlook as the default mail program. How do I set OE as the default mail program for all users - without Outlook taking over?

Hi, We have a 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2 installation. We had a controller fail and needed to replace it. The failed controller was an HP SmartArray 5300. We tried to replace it with a SmartArray 6400. After we installed the new controller, we received a Stop Error 0x0000007B. We could not boot to safe mode. What is the procedure to change the boot controller to a different controller in Server 2003? I was not able to find documentation on this. Thanks, Steve

I set my XP PC to reboot into safe mode automatically, using msconfig. Upon reboot, it asks for my login, and when I enter it it says it is incorrect. It is not incorrect, it is the login I have used for years now, never changed it. So my only thought was to get to the boot options using F8 and choose to boot normally, but when I do this, the keyboard suddenly stops working. I can get to the boot menu, but then the arrow keys do not work so I cannot select a different option or even hit return to accept the one given, and I notice that the caps lock key will not work at this point. When I try a different keyboard, I can't even get F8 to work. What are my options…

Hello, Is it possible to force SMB v1 in 2008 Server ? I have 1 W2K8 Data server and 2 W2K8 TS with an old Windev application which use indexed file for it database and I have a lot of corruption in these file due to Opportunistic Lock. My problem is that in 2008 Server, the opportunistic locking couldn't be disable because of the version 2 of SMB. Could we limitate the Lanmanserver service to emulate uniquely SMB V1 ? Thanks in advance. Regards Christophe CHESNEAU

My win XP machine has suddenly started disabling my keyboard on Windows bootup. This applies to both USB and PS2 The keyboard functions properly until the windows screen appears with the Blue oscillating bar under the windows logo. I am out of good ideas. Does anyone have any new one or has anyone experienced the same problem?

When you hold down the Shift key and r-click a highlighted file in Explorer, or when you launch a file type for which there is no association, you are presented with an "Open with" pick-list. This list appears to be generated from the active file associations at the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry key. This means that if you have two applications which are used for opening PDF files, say, then only the currently active one will show up in the list. To select the other one, you need to choose "Other" and then browse for it. Currently what I'm doing is creating a dummy file type and associating the second application with the dummy. For example, Opera is my default…
