Guest Trish Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 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. Trish

Any solution of > this? 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.

Guest Peter Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 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? x----------x

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. Paul

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 :)
