  • PowerShell copy fails without warning

    - by boink
    Howdy, am trying to copy a file from IE cache to somewhere else. This works on w7, but not Vista Ultimate. In short: copy-item $f -Destination "$targetDir" -force (I also tried $f.fullname) The full script: $targetDir = "C:\temp" $ieCache=(get-itemproperty "hkcu:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders").cache $minSize = 5mb Write-Host "minSize:" $minSize Add-Content -Encoding Unicode -Path $targetDir"\log.txt" -Value (get-Date) Set-Location $ieCache #\Low\Content.IE5 for protected mode #\content.ie5 for unprotected $a = Get-Location foreach ($f in (get-childitem -Recurse -Force -Exclude *.dat, *.tmp | where {$_.length -gt $minSize}) ) { Write-Host (get-Date) $f.Name $f.length Add-Content -Encoding Unicode -Path $targetDir"\log.txt" -Value $f.name, $f.length copy-item $f -Destination "$targetDir" -force } End of wisdom. Please help!

  • Why does Windows make random "device connect" and "device disconnect" sounds?

    - by Steve Elmer
    Hello, I've been noticing this since Windows Vista. I see it on Windows 7, now, as well. In any case throughout the day I notice that my computer makes apparently random device-connect and/or device-disconnect ("boink") sounds. I suppose it is the same sound you hear when connecting or disconnecting a USB device such as a thumb drive. I've noticed that this happens on each of three computers I work with at home, my wife's computer, and my machine at work. It happens without any user action at all - i.e. I'll be just sitting there (hands off my mouse and keyboard), and the computer will make the sound. There is no visual queue or anything. Just the sound. I have sometimes gone in pursuit of the sound - running virus scans, examining event logs and such, and observing task manager - but have never had any luck tracking this thing down, but have not had any luck. Surely someone else out there must be experiencing this, too. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve
