I want to change Windows 7's boot screen. Is there any way?
Edit: I'm not talking about the logon screen. I'm talking about the screen which you see before the Welcome screen:
I want to password-protect a few applications (not just files/folders) on Windows 7, such that, there is no change to the protected application's .exe file itself.
Since the .exe files can't be changed, "Empathy" and "Protect Exe" can't be used as they change the .exe file.
I tried using WinGuard Pro and LockThis! also but they don't work for Microsoft Outlook and some other apps (that I need).
Is it possible at all? Please help.
I notices in the Network overview of Windows 7 that my switches are found on the path to the gateway, which baffled me completely. The last time I checked they just took the ethernet packages and transported them to the "right" location.
How does this switch detection work? Do switches alter the packages? Do they react on ICMP messages?

Unfortunately I have been unable to enable hibernate (tried through registry and through powercfg.cpl). The closest I have got is that I was able to enable hibernate on pressing of power button, but that just turns of screen and keeps everything else running, I have to force shutdown to do anything.
Do you know how I can get hibernate to work on my Dell Studio 17?
I want to have a script that does the following thing:
connect to a remote windows machine
get the list of applications that are currently open on the machine, e.g exactly what I would get in the "applications" tab in the task manager, and print it.
Is it possible to do that in batch?
If not, what other options do I have?

Does anybody know a good software tool to scan and repair sectors on harddisks (an alternative to the standard that is included with windows e.g. scandisk/chkdsk)?
I know already about all emergency/ultimate boot cd's, I am looking for a tool that is not on one of the boot-cd's.
Thank you,
Kindest regards,
Marcel
recently I found a video on the net ( a .mp4 file), and when I had it on my computer with Windows7, I noticed its thumbnail was not the average windows 7 video thumbnail (which looks like a piece of video film with a random picture from the movie), but a custom thumbnail! Looking in the file properties did not help find the correct button to change the thumbnail...so I just wonder how he did it! Here is a picture:
left: the custom thumbnail, right: the average thumbnail...

I have some old classic asp scripts. They used to work on my 2003/IIS 6 server. But on my Vista/IIS 7 and now Windows 7 Ultimate/IIS 7 server the asp pages don't work.
I did what they said here: Deploying a Classic ASP Server (IIS 7) (Microsoft TechNet).
I enabled those 3 features in IIS 7 but that just went from getting 404 to 500 error.

Is it possible to set on a Windows Client or Server that they only communicate with the same specific Active Directory Server? Maybe trough a Registry Hack?
Kind regards

I was wondering what are the best ways on local Windows for resuming transfer of files over ssh from remote linux?
I tried SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9, but I cannot find it works for resuming.
I tried Putty's psftp. It also seems not having the resuming ability.
Thanks and regards!
I use Windows 7 & Sql Server 2008.
If I run Management Studio as normal user and try to connect to database 'MyDatabase', I get this error message 'The database MyDatabase is not accessible'.
I I run Management Studio per right click 'Run as administrator', then 'MyDatabase' is accessible.
Where & what should I set, to be able to access MyDatabase as normal user?
The title says it all. I'm interested in replacing a Windows file server with a Linux Samba file server, but the caveat is that share/folder permissions must be preserved. We'd be using the new active directory authentication in Samba, so the two servers would at least be in the same domain to make things a little simpler, and all the users/groups are domain-level users/groups. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I need to mount a VMWare disk image in Windows 7 64-Bit however the "VMware Mount Utility" only works on 32-Bit operating systems. Is there an application or method that I can use to mount the disk?
I sometimes hook up my laptop to a regular keyboard and mouse set. These require drivers that I don't want loaded when I'm using my laptop's own keyboard and touchpad. So...
Can I tell Windows 7 to selectively load one or the other driver based on this condition, or switch between the two?
Hi all,
I have a 64 bit windows 7 install (thru bootcamp) on my 17" macbook pro, with the bootcamp 3.0 drivers. Whenever i run the apple software update to install the 3.1 drivers, it downloads and installs them, then reboots, and when i've rebooted, it's still stuck on version 3.0 according to 'about boot camp' on the system tray icon. I've tried installing several times, it keeps happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I've Windows 2003 SBS and 40 CAL licenses for SBS. I also have Microsoft Exchange 2007 license for 2nd server which acts as front-end for Exchange (outbound/inbound emails come thru it and OWA works on it).
Does it require separate CAL's for Exchange 2007 even thou SBS has all mailboxes etc?
One thing that's always annoyed me about windows XP is how there's no "scale" option for the desktop background. It either has to be stretched or centered. It's a pretty simple algorithm to scale the image so that one of the dimensions (usually height) fits on the screen.
Does anyone know of a good program that does this, or is there a way to enable it?
