    Desktop Restriction

    I am not sure quite what you are asking however something you might like to try is setting the directory permissions on the desktop folder. Currently "Everybody" will probably have full control. You can change either each user's desktop directory to only that user and/or the All users desktop directory to a specified group. Apply this resrtiction (or Policy) using a GPO on the AD servers. For details on this kind of thing you should really refer to MS Technet http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsSer...px?mfr=true.com

    I would like to host my own website...

    Or if you prefer to keep things separate either: Buy a router and another PC (specs depend on what your site is used for) Or Download a trial of VMWare and create a new virtual machine, build your site in the VM then run it using VMWare Player. For either approach do some research on WAMP and LAMP. Again, depending on what technolgies your site needs (just HTML or PHP or PHP/MySQL etc.) WAMP/LAMP might be applicable. If not, just use IIS or Apache as mentioned above. My separation theory might be useful to you as your main PC [potentially] won't suffer if something bad happens (like a security breach). Personally I prefer Apache mainly due to it's ease of configuration however there are (of course) many pros/cons for each. S

    HELP! HELP! HELP!

    Hi, SQLDebugger is the local account created when you install SQL Server. Its a bit like installing .Net Framework- you get a ASP.Net account. If you are not usin SQL Server 2000, in any shape or form, you can disable it, or maybe delete it if you are sure. i think you got hit by a trojan and some nasty scripts that disabled some things on your PC. The task manager setting is local to your PC- so it will affect every user You can try this software for removal of trojans: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/ And also this, although it is a trial program (it still works fine for 30 days) http://www.majorgeeks.com/TDS_d3951.html If Norton is deleting the trojan, one way it can come back is via the System Restore functionailty. Read here how to disable it: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsg...src=sec_doc_nam You should disable system restore, scan using Norton or the above programs, then finally enable system restore again.

    HELP! HELP! HELP!

    hi, You probably ran a program that either (or even maybe did both): Set local group policies Change restriction settings in the registry that arent part of GP The easiest thing to do is either create another user, or try to reset everything. After youve created a new user, see if things are better. I had something like this on my machine a while ago- i got so paranoid thinking "what else did it do"?, I backed up my own files then formatted and reinstalled XP This link might help on your quest: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307882&sd=tech Antivirus might pick this kind of thing up, however its more of a malcious script than a virus/worm. I'd highly suggest not running as local admin in Windows, use a restricted/limited user instead (one that cannot change system settings) S

    problems with booting GRUB

    Im a bit sketchy on this but it will be something to do with wherever you put GRUB during your linux install. It will be either on the MBR or first sector of the primary disk. In either case I'd suggest asking (or searching) over at www.linuxcompatible.org since they know thier grubs and lilos I could give some suggestions but the last thing I want to do is make you break your install!

    Video Card Load Temperatures

    Thats fairly normal. My 9800XT used to go up to 90 or so. As with anything in your PC- cooler is better but not always something to get too worried about. If you get bored by all means fit a 3rd party cooler. I did (Zalman heatsinks plus a fan to be sure). The GPU gets really hot- moreso than RAM or CPU.... S

    offline file sycnronization

    Hi, Assuming that the old location was some other remote loaction, can you not just right click the old folder and make it so that it is no longer available offline? S

    What BDC or PDC

    Hi, To add a little more to this- SET just echos the environment variables. If you just want to see one of those, you can do (at the command prompt): echo %name of variable% In my case (specifics here are replaced): USERDNSDOMAIN=internal.mycompany.int USERDOMAIN=mycompany USERNAME=myusername LOGONSERVER=\\YOURDC If I wanted to just see the username then it is: echo %username% If you want to see the logon server, just type: echo %logonserver% Scin

    Visual Basic 4.0 Memory Problems

    Also, Option Explicit would complain when you compile your project, so that shouldn't be causing any problems after the compilation.....This command means that you should be defining all of your variables, which is good programming practice. If you miss one it will moan that an object is undefined.

    Visual Basic 4.0 Memory Problems

    Hi, Try looking at your ADO settings and what version(s) of MDAC your clients are running (and also the PC that you compile on). Also a look in the deployment wizard might help since then you can specify settings that are common to all of your intended audience. Last thing is just recompile it in VB6

    X850XT PE -Or- 6800 Ultra/GT

    if u ever make the/a leap to linux youll find that nvidia plays a lot better and youll get better performance. If you need ideas about what to spend your forthcoming earnings on then maybe you could look at a raid setup on your disks.... wouldnt get too excited about sata2 just yet, however a simple 2 disk stripe would add a fair bit of performance for not much money.

    Motorola MPx220

    Hi all, Just been fiddling with one of these phones and had a few problems with it. Anyhow since I solved the problem I thought Id share it with you all on the off chance someone is having the same problem. EDIT: I gather this phone has been out a while in other parts of the world, however here in the UK we are just getting them in ) The phone runs Windows Mobile 2003 SE which has its advantages - one of them being connectively to Outlook. Ok so the thought of running MS on my mobile freaked me out for a bit but its not bad... actually its been great! With the phone you get a CD with Activesync and Outlook on. I installed Activesync, plugged in my phone via USB and... nothing... no phone detected! I hit Google and everyone was chatting about bluetooth and dodgy ways to get the activesync to work. Sounded a bit cr*p to me since I just wanted everything to work... i didnt want to buy a bluetooth dongle and i also didnt want to configure everything in a mish mash way. I guess most of you have probably tweaked your PCs and as part of that disabled services (in Win 2000/XP) that nobody ever uses ever. I have done that however the ActiveSync software requires some of these not so obviously needed services. After much fiddling I found that the following 3 services need to be enabled: Network DDE Network DDE DSDM WebClient I am sure someone reading this is saying "yes of course you need these FOOL!" however to me it didnt actually seem obvious. So for anyone using this phone (or indeed ActiveSync with another device) check these services out first. If you dont know how to check go into Admin Tools in Control Panel, then Services. S
