How can I change `User' to `Trish'?

[Guest Trish]

Hi All,

 

My office PC's username I changed to `Trish' but still the c:\Documents and

settings\user\ is not changed to c:\Documents and settings\Trish\.

 

Because of this problem `Briefcase' could not synchronize. Any solution of

this?

 

Thanks for any replies.

Reboot the PC.

Logon to the PC using a DIFFERENT account that 'Trish' that has administrative rights.

 

Rename the folder from...

c:\Documents and settings\user

to

c:\Documents and settings\user.BAK

 

Logon as 'Trish' and the folder...

c:\Documents and settings\Trish

 

will be created. Then copy the user data from...

c:\Documents and settings\user.BAK

 

to

 

c:\Documents and settings\Trish

You can't just rename a user account. As you discovered, that only makes a

cosmetic change and doesn't alter the underlying files/folders.

 

Make a new user account called "Trish" (after renaming the old account back

the way it was) and copy the original account to it. You will need to log

into the new account once before you can copy anything to it and you'll

need to do this from a third account that is not the ones being copied from

and to.

How to kill an app's FLUSH win32 calls?

 

How to kill an app's FLUSH win32 calls?

 

I have a SIIG RAID (mirror, 2 drive) SATA controller and while

everything on the PC runs just fine, one particular application (Agent

email/usenet client) runs extremely slowly (if the order of 100x to

1000x slower) anytime it does any file access.

 

I have run Filemon and it looks like the problem is caused by FLUSH

calls to Windows. No other app I have does this.

 

Agent are unlikely to be fixing this, and anyway it doesn't cause a

problem on any other PC I have tried it on. Only the driver for this

RAID controller has the dubious implementation of this function. Of

course SIIG are totally anonymous, as are Silicon General who make the

311x RAID chip. I have email and faxed them, no reply ever.

 

Can anybody give me any pointers for writing a driver which intercepts

the FLUSH calls and dumps them? Or is there perhaps a registry setting

within XP?

Silicon Image makes the SIL3112. It would normally be on this page,

but has possibly been replaced by the 3512. So your email went

to the wrong company.

 

http://www.siliconimage.com/products/productfamily.aspx?id=3

 

You can get driver updates from the SiliconImage web site.

 

Disabling a function like that, might not work out the best

for you, since the function would be required to work just

before Windows shuts off system power.

Yes, it was the company - sorry I got it wrong in the original post.

 

I have the latest driver already. Both Silicon Image and SIIG who make

the RAID controller with it, are completely unresponsive to emails and

faxes.

 

Perhaps one could arrange for the bit of software to be loaded only

with Agent... like the old TSR concept under DOS :)
