In Os X, I can hold Shift while using the scroll wheel on the mouse to scroll horizontally instead of vertically. Is there a way to do something similar in Windows?
On a Windows XP Pro SP3 machine one network drive refuses to show up in My Computer or Explorer. The missing drive letter is G:, if that matters. Other mappings work fine. Other profiles one the same machine have no problem mapping G:. I can access the G: just fine typing it into the address bar or in CMD shell.

So, I help administrate a collection of servers running various windows server environments. We have a RD Gateway server, properly configured, to gatekeep for us. It does not have the other servers listed in it's server farm category, though. I just added a refurbished server for a non-profit development environment that is sharing the rack…
I have a newer laptop, purchased within the last year (acer aspire 7740). This laptop does not have any problem connecting to wireless networks and indicates that the signal strength is excellent on most of the wireless networks I connect to. When the laptop is within 10 feet of my wireless router it gets 30 down 10 up. When it is farther…
I'm trying to get used to using Enlightenment instead of KDE on my Slackware64 multilib computer, but I'm having a terrible time getting one problem fixed.
My fonts are HUGE on application windows - from Firefox to Gimp to Xchat to anything else, all the fonts are 3x the size they should be.
But at the same time, the system menu is…
We have a network of Windows 7 PCs that are managed as part of a domain. What we want is for the domain admin to be unable to view the PC's local drive (C:) unless he is physically at the PC. In other words, no remote desktop and no ability to use UNC. In other words, the domain admin should not be allowed to put \\user_pc\c$ in…
Suddenly today I am unable to resolve common domains like serverfault.com, facebook.com; but other domains like google.com, cnn.com work fine.
This is on a client machine (Win7 Pro) connected to an SBS2011 Standard domain. The only DNS server is the SBS2011 server.
The same domains work fine on all client PCs I have tried, and…
I have a windows 7 box stashed away in my closet, containing (among other things) 2 big HDDs linked together as a mirrored volume - basically a super lazy NAS / media server. I've noticed that when that drive is accessed (whether locally, on the machine itself, or remotely, from another computer, or my xbox, for example) there's…
I'm trying to host an application, but allow the customer to use their own sub domain so that it does not confuse their own customers.
So for example, by application would run on app.mydomain.com, but my customer would access it via their own subdomain (app.somedomain.com and/or app.anotherdomain.com).
Is this even possible?

Good Morning,
We have a dell power edge 6850 with a degraded drive in the RAID array.
I have never had to recover such an issue, so any help or advice would be welcome.
Basically it hasn't affected the server at an operating system level, but has slowed down performance, I have a replacement drive in hand but as this is our…
As the title states, this happens randomly to Windows 7 accounts on our Windows 2008R2 domain controller.
We just had this start happening after changing from 123together hosted exchange to Rackspace hosted exchange. Also around this time our passwords on the DC started expiring, but not the exact day, and everyone has…
I've been working through some Exchange training documentation (the official MS e-learning package) and all of the design scenarios allude to placing at least one DC from your forest root domain in every site.
I'm not sure whether this just relates to Exchange, but I can think of a number of issues we experience in our…
I'm trying to add the value PS1='\u@\h: \w\$ ' to my terminal in XFCE. I added the line to (what I think is) the correct area in /etc/profile. The relevant segment is:
# Set a default shell prompt:
#PS1='`hostname`:`pwd`# '
PS1='\u@\h: \w\$ '
if [ "$SHELL" = "/bin/pdksh" ]; then
# PS1='! $ '
PS1='\u@\h: \w\$ '
elif […
I'm trying to activate windows 2008 server SP2 today since the activation trial is done.
I do not have an internet connection with this server so I can not activate online, and with the other servers in this farm I've been able to run the
slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
and then it would open up the…
My laptop (Acer Aspire 6930) has a hotkey to open the web browser. However, I just got Firefox and I was wondering how I can change the hotkey so that it opens Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.
I already contacted Acer...they told me to phone them (at cost), which I would rather avoid since it's such a…
A little while ago I discovered that on Ubuntu linux one can display or conceal hidden files on demand at run-time by pressing [Ctrl-H]. This is really handy. Is there anyway this can be had on windows?
I'm guessing Windows Explorer is not amenable to this, so I'm open to 3rd party file managers provided…
I've got a VLAN 10 setup as a management VLAN.
The management VLAN comes off port 48 and links to another set of switches that do not support VLAN's so it was I believe set up as an untagged access port. In the past this was a different brand of switch and this worked fine.
However, since changing to…
I'm after some clarification of the state/connection tracking in iptables.
What is the difference between these rules?
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Is connection tracking turned on when a…
I have a spreadsheet with 2 cols of importance. Date, and number. I can't always predict the number of rows or the date, but what I would like to do is print out the sum of the numbers for each date.
For example, there might be 5 rows for Dec-7: 200, 111 and Dec-6: 222,533,100. I am tying to create…
I use a VPN to connect to my office network. On my local network I have another WinXP machine that shares a printer and a few shared folders. While I'm connected to my work VPN, I can access the shared printer and folders on the other machine just fine, and vice versa. Once I disconnect the VPN,…
So here is the deal, I have a server on switch A where port 3 is monitoring traffic for most of the ports on switch A. However I have other users on switch B that needs to have port 3 on switch A monitor as well. Is this possible? I have been reading about rspan but doesnt seem to work.
Switch A:

I'm trying to learn a little HTML. Everyone says to use Notepad++ over notepad.
I have autocomplete on. My question: When I type my opening tag and Notepad++ then puts"""" closing tag, how do I "jump" out of the tag when I'm done typing? If I tab or hit enter, I'm still stuck before the closing…
Hi there. I'm looking for a way to consume an XML feed from a web-service directly into PowerPoint 2010. I found the LiveWeb plugin (http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm) for PowerPoint that, while pretty cool, really only pulls in actual web content in a way that feels more like an iframe. Ideally, I…
We have an asterisk based phone system with multiple clients connected to it.
At the moment, all the extension numbers fall in the range 100 - 9999. But, now we have an issue where a particular customer wants to come onto our service and insists on keeping their existing extension list.
Is…
I'm installing FreeBSD 8.0 on a server that has hardware SATA Raid.
I'm just wondering. What is the difference between these devices.
i.e. ar0, da0, ad4, ad5
I take it that ad4 & 5 are my two disks. Somehow the OS can see them individually even though it's one logical mirrored drive.…
