Is there a way to cap the maximum volume on a Windows XP machine? I would like to regulate the volume so even if the user adjusts to the loudest volume, it will only be as loud as I want it to be.
Can I migrate my existing physical WinXP environment (on a single c: drive) to a VHD via Disk2VHD and then run it on my new Windows 7 laptop as a virtual machine?
Hi
I run as admin on my machine and want to run an executable as non admin user from the command prompt (without logging off).
I'm running on windows 7 64 bit OS.
Is possible?
Thanks.
I keep getting "Data Execution Prevention" error in Windows Live Messenger. I have noticed that this is happening usually when I leave computer to get coffee, and screensaver comes up, WLM breaks.
Is there any way to prevent this error from happening?
I see I can turn off this "Data Execution Prevention", but is that safe, since I know that WLM is under heavy attacks from spammers/hackers?
Thanks
sometimes an element wont open, of I click on it in the start menu in the search results. This occurs most when searching for emails. I use outlook 2007 on windows 7 x64. If I search in outlook for that mail I can simply double-click it an it opens.
Sometimes when I go to sleep I leave the computer playing some music, but I'd like to tell it, once X minutes have passed just mute the volume.
Does anyone know of a program to do so? I'm targeting Windows 7 here but I guess one for Vista will do equally.
Could someone recommend a utility that would allow me to change the order of taskbar items in Windows XP, ideally just by dragging them, similar to reordering tabs in Firefox?
I am looking for a program or program suite that will allow the auditing of network shared resources (specifically storage space), and render reports (who created, deleted, moved, modified files, etc).
Yes, I know I can turn on auditing on Windows, but the Event Log isn't quite the "charmer" for the job.
In Windows (XP at least), when you drag a file to a folder that already has a file with the same name, you get a dialog like this:
Does anyone know of a replacement for that dialog that adds a Compare button (preferably configurable to use the comparison tool of my choice)?
Hi!
I set up a VPN on my server, everything seems okay but when I connect to it from Mac (didn't try windows) I can connect, I can send data and from the server I see that it receives it but it does not send any data back...
Did you ever happened to see this? Thanks a lot!
I just installed Windows Vista on a laptop computer.
I was wondering if you could recommend any essential software to be installed on the system (i.e. anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc...)
Thanks
I'm using Windows 7 RC and for some reason, the date won't show at all on my system tray. It used to for a while, but one day it just stopped (I didn't even notice it until someone pointed it out).
So I've been trying to fix it, by customizing the format of the date, resetting to defaults, etc... But nothing works, it still doesn't show.
The time appears fine.
When Windows 7 is configured to automatically update at a certain time (say Friday 5pm), is that also when it tries to download updates, or does it pull in the updates throughout the week, and only installs them at the update time?
I try to tune ClearType in Windows 7 x64 using the ClearType Text Tuner. I can choose whatever options I want on the first 3 pages, but on the last page, whatever I choose is reverted as soon as I click finish. Next time I run the tuner I can see that the second option is selected, not the option that I wanted (the last one).
Has anybody else found this odd behavior?
I have an apache service that is running as "SYSTEM", however the log on as settings are configured to run as my user account.
The windows task manager claims that I am the user name associated with the service when it's running, however I had the apache service call a python script which indicates that the user is "SYSTEM.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I've reinstalled 3 times and once with a newer version.
Hi,
Microsoft's SFU is not supported for
64-bit XP OS. Read here -

I want to set up a NFS Client on 64-bit Windows XP. Any suggestions ?
I have a VPS that runs Windows Server 2008. The time keeps changing every so often. I haven't been able to find out what triggers this change, but it's usually forward or backward several hours at a time. I don't think the minute changes, it seems that only the hour changes.
My work PC has restrictions that stop me from adding programs to the start menu so when I try to install Python using the Python 2.6.5 Windows installer it can't complete as it tries to add a shortcut to my start menu.
Is there a way around this? I.e another way of installing without the need for a shortcut?
I've tried Python portable but as it doesn't add anything to the registry it can't be detected.
I am unable to locate the MAC address in a new computer with Windows 7. I've tried ipconfig/all to which I got "no items match your search". I also tried getmac. A screen flashed very briefly with what appeared to be the information but was not there long enough to read.
For an army project we need to know whether Windows XP, both client and corresponding server os, are c2 certified. Are they?
Are there any resources on that, like guidelines how to configure for c2 security level?
Some time back I changed the default libraries icon on Taskbar to "Computer" icon. I had to format the PC and now I looks like the I forgot the procedure to change the icon.
I tried changing the Libraries icon in %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows.
That did not change the icon on the taskbar.
What should I be doing to change the icon?
I am looking for a way to make a jump list for the windows task bar for application shortcuts. Kinda like the quick launch toolbar but with the jump list look. I tried to make my own 'toolbar' but that does what the quick launch bar did before.
I'm trying to configure caller id on a USB modem connected to a Windows 7 x32 machine. Hyperterminal isn't available so I downloaded the latest version of Putty and am using the Serial option. I'm using the modem's COM port details from Device Manager (COM5, 115200 baud), but when I open the putty session it just hangs with the cursor at the top left hand corner. Hitting the Enter key does nothing.
Any ideas??
hi,
this question is always rise.
How can i know what ports are currently reserved in windows XP/2003 and what service had reserved them.
for example when i want to install Apache, default port will be 80, but sometimes the Server will have IIS installed on the same port.
so i want to know the way to check the ports and what services had reserved them and also if there is a way to re assign those ports to different services.
thank you
