How do I set up network sharing with four computers running Windows 7?
I have one dlink 8 port switch and a cablenet.
What do I need to do to set this up?
Which registry keys need to be edited to change the default browser?
I have found these keys so far and they seem to do what I want, but I am not sure if I have found all of them:
Data in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\https\shell\open\command
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\ftp\shell\open\command
Value in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache
Are there any other keys which would need to be changed, so that it is done perfectly?

Every so often I run into a file that I need to take ownership of. I normally use cacls for changing ntfs permissions, but it doesn't seem to do ownership. Under *nix I would run something like chown me:me <file>. Is there a windows equivalent to chown?
Tomcat 6 (as a windows service) seems to have a 'Start Mode' with options of 'java, jvm or exe' which can be set via the Tomcat Monitor (system tray icon).
if I set this to 'java', I can see a forked 'java.exe' process for tomcat, if I chose either of the other two, I dont see a separate process.
Anyway, would like to know if anyone has any information about what these settings mean and which one would be most appropriate in production.
If you've ever watched a windows computer defrag a drive, you might have noticed that many of the files that are fragmented and need fixed have names like A0833773.DLL. If you know regular expressions, I could express the filename this way:
A\d{7}[.]DLL
Does anyone here know what those files are or what they're used for?
I have two Windows 2003 x64 R2 IIS boxes that are ostensibly setup the same way.
But for whatever reason, one of them has a W3WP.exe process for each application pool and the other one does not.
What could be the reason?
I have an iPad that is connected to the Wireless router in my network. However, this router is connected to my Win 2008 server, which in its turn is connected to the internet. The iPad is unable to connect to the public url for the exchange server on the server (www.example.com) and has erratic internet access, where Windows laptops are provided with faultless internet access, even when they are not a member of the domain.
How do I solve this?
I have a Tripp-Lite Smart150rmxl2ua UPS. The software from their website doesn't seem to work properly. I also tried "apcupsd" which is an open source software which i am supposed to be able to use to manage my UPS and I had no luck with that either since Windows 7 did not want to install and use the drivers since they are "incompatible". Is there another good working open source software out there? It sucks that Tripp-Lite doesn't supply its customers with working software.
I have a Windows 7 computer which have a strange behavior: when preview is enabled in explorer, I double-click on any Word document, Word is launched, the document is loaded, and immediatly explorer is in the foreground window (so Word is in the background). The whole process take less than one second.
Only with Word. Not Excel or anything.
Only on one computer (5 others are identical and installed the same day).
I'm running WDS on a Server 2003 32-bit system and need to capture a 64-bit Windows 7 image and then image a lab of computers with the 64-bit image.
Can my 32-bit server host a 64-bit boot image, as well as capture a 64-bit machine for imaging? If not, can I use a 32-bit boot image to capture an image from the 64-bit Window 7 machine?
on my desktop i have bsod frequently on windows vista and 7 , with new error code every time
i need to know what cause it and how to solve this error .
thanks .
Hi,
Where can I check in Windows Server 2008 that Kereberos/NTLM is the authentication protocol used after the whole network is set up/installed. There is only 1 domain controller with AD services and is not affiliated with any other domains.

I've checked "Don't use the index when searching in file folders for system files", but I don't see a way to tell Windows 7 that I'm looking for a system file. What does this option actually do, and how do I use it to search every file name on the drive for a specified character string?
I intend to search file names in an indexed folder that contains non-indexed subfolders and "system" file types, and this option seems to have no effect on the skipping of those subfolders and file types.
There's a motivation in my office to make sure that all file systems on all servers in the production environment (It's a Windows environment) are identical until the last file and i'm looking for a program/tool which can help me achieve this goal.
What i actually look for is a tool that will allow me to diff server's file systems by connecting them remotely (as they are spreaded around the world).
Anyone knows a tool which allows it?
Currently I've Followed this Guide: http://lifehacker.com/5467758/move-the-users-directory-in-windows-7
Pointed my C:\Users, C:\Program Files (x86), C:\Program Files directory's to their respective counterparts on the B: drive. I used mklink /J D:\Users B:\Users (D was the C: drives name in recovery) but when I come to boot, all I get is that the profile can't be loaded. I have to accomplish this, and don't really mind reinstalling as its a fresh install anyway.
I have a rather annoying issue with my Windows 7 computer whereby it seems to take ages to delete, move or copy folders, even when they are empty. The problem is intermittent, to make matters worse. It just says "Discovering items..." for anything up to a couple of minutes before eventually doing what its told.
Any suggestions on where to look to stop this happening?
I have tried disabling antivirus realtime scanning to rule that out as the root cause.
Had a power outage last night, still cleaning up from that. I have a file server that doesn't know it's part of the domain (getting the error: windows cannot connect to the domain either because the domain controller is down). I read that "resetting" the machine account the bring it back into the domain will do the trick.
Since this is the file server for the entire office, I would like to be sure that I won't bork the umpteen number of shares on this server.
Thanks!
On a Terminalserver (win2008), we like to have an alias for the real fileservername and therefor we put a line in hosts like:
192.168.0.10 BigFiler
This only works fine for Fileserver under windows 2008 not for win2003-servers, why?

Frustratingly, after a recent update to Windows XP mode integration features, the availability of shared disks from the hosts has been impaired.
Does anyone know any kind of workaround or fix (excluding dropbox et al)?
I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling as per http://www.sevenforums.com/virtualization/63710-refreshing-xp-mode.html#post568715
At one point restarting the machine appeared to have worked, but today again I am without access to my host.
Interestingly audio and copy and paste to and from the machine are working.
In MySQL you have to authorized a user based on the name of the origin network. From my network to a remote one all connections appear as sent from mail.mycompany.com. But connections to another remote network it appears with a different origin. How to discover which name/ip it is using?
I tried tcpdump and netstat in the destination but it is difficult to find my connection among billions of others.
In my case the destination is a Windows Server 2003
Hi all,
I am having fifty workstations which are connected to a windows server 2003 server and the internet is shared from the server .My question is , am i able to implement a tracking mechanism without using any proxy server and track all the web pages which ever visited by an individual workstation connected to a network?If possible how to achieve that kind of tracking mechanism?Some workstations do open their web pages in InPrivate browsing , can we access those browsing history?
What is the reason partitioning is usually a step in installing multiple (2) operating systems on the same computer?
Does an operating system have to have it's own partition to run or can it run in the same partition as another operating system? (i.e. -can two of the same flavor run in the same partition but if you have one Linux and one windows it needs to be partitioned?)
Is it necessary to make disk partitions to run multiple operating systems?
I installed Skype when logged on to the (local) admin account. Now, when I log off that, and log on as myname on the domain, I have to click through the intial setup steps (after you've already run the installer) of Skype. So, I have to click next to get through the mic setup/test, and it asks me if I want to take a pic.
How do I get it so that any person who logs in can just open Skype and go straight to the login screen?
