Hi all,
We're currently trialing Windows 7 to replace XP, one problem I have is that each time a 'user' logs in they're prompted to setup their Outlook 2007 profile.
Has anyone seen this?
Thanks
Steven
For some bad reason Microsoft decided to remove all standard desktop icons besides the Recyle bin.
It is easy to create shortcuts to each single disk using create shortcut method.
But I would like to have the computer icon too.
I guess there will be an increased demand to create useful shortcuts on Windows 8 Servers Desktop, because the metro surface 'on the backside of your screen' is just impractical.
It appears that installing Windows 8 on top of XP doesn't give you the option to choose the locale and other settings -- I've got the right keyboard layout restored, and can change the system locale to be for the UK, but there doesn't appear to be any way to change the time zone -- choosing the option to try and change the time zone gives error:
Date and Time

I had to reinstall Windows XP on my Aspire 5720 and now I'm reinstalling the drivers. There are two touchpad drivers and I don't know how to find out which is the right one for my system. I've run the program Acer provides that looks at your hardware, but it doesn't tell me which touchpad I have. The two drivers are Alps and Synaptics -- is there any way I can determine which one I need? Thanks!

When open explore and enter \192.168.1.xxx\c$ and prompt to ask login id and password, where does this login info save to? And even if I choose not to save, seems the session will still remain until reboot? Can the community please suggestion some keyword to this and explain how it works a bit? Thanks.
What effect, if any, does the number of icons on a user's Windows XP desktop have on system performance? Can a large number of desktop icons slow down a system?
Windows 7 Home Premium does not allow write mode on USB networked drives, why is this? Is anyone else having this issue also?
I can network drives in read mode but read/write mode isn't working! Not sure why.
If you right click the network icon in the system tray in Windows Server 2003, right next to "Status" is "Disable".
If you "misclick" this, the result can be catastrophic. Is there a way to disable it, or remove it from the list to avoid "accidently" clicking it?
I'm converting old Windows desktop machines from 2005-2009 into cheap Ubuntu Linux servers. I want to know which ones can handle a 64-bit OS and which can't. I read that some x86 CPUs are 64-bit compatible. The question is how to check.
Perhaps the worst-named tool in the *nix world, script is extremely handy when you want to capture all the output of a terminal session.
Is there a tool like it for Windows? Specifically, without having to install something like cygwin?
I know this is stupid: I couldn't find anything from IBM website about where to download an IBM jre (specifically, IBM jre1.6.0 J9 2.4 SR6) for a 64-bit Windows OS. Google takes me to a link which looks similar, but that jre would only work on an IBM product, I assume their own server/workstation or something like that.
So I've been stuck by this for quite some time... I couldn't believe there is no such a "previous version repository" or something similar on IBM website :(
Thanks for any suggestion in advance.
Currently I am running Solr by just opening up a cmd prompt on my windows 2008 server, and running java -jar start.jar.
This seems like a hack, since if I reboot my server I have to go and manually restart it.
Is there a way for me to automate the startup for this?
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Machine with 1 physical hard drive.
I have an exact copy of the hardware of it, which I intend to use a a redundant backup in case my server fails (hardware or software).
I'd like to routinely "clone" my production server's hard drive, so that when it fails, I'll just swap it with the latest clone.
Is this even possible? If it is, what would be the simplest way to do this?
When using Windows Live Writer, I'd like to be able to select text and press a key combination to surround it with a given tags (like Ctrl-B surrounds it with <b> tags). The one I specifically want to do is either <code> or <pre>. Is there some way to configure this?
Is it possible to have roaming profiles for Windows, and portable home directories for Mac OS X be served up from a Linux Server ?
ie: 1 home directory for a mixed environment.
Hello,
I've installed Windows 7 Home in Portuguese and speech recognition doesn't work.
How can I turn this on or is this not possible?
Thanks in advance!
If I open up the list of running processes in the Task Manager on my Windows Vista. Then I can right-click on a process and chose "Virtualization". Not much happens after that.
What does this really do? What can I use it for?
When I'm logged into our Windows Server 2003 server, I don't see any ODBC Data Sources, but when a different user logs in (who doesn't have Administrative rights), they have a big list of ODBC Data Sources.
Are ODBC Data Sources set on a per-user basis? How come the Administrator can't see user's ODBC Data Sources?
I will be buying a 2TB hard drive soon, and would like to use it as media storage. I would like to be able to read/write from both Windows (version 7, 64bit) and Ubuntu Linux, and I need support for files greater than 4GB in size (so I think this rules out FAT32).
I'm using IFS drives at the moment to access my linux ext4 partitions, and I find it unstable. Does this mean NTFS? Is there something else I'm missing?
Here's what I want to do:
Hit Windows.
Type in a search for a file.
Select the file (arrow keys).
Open the file's containing folder
without right-clicking (like in
Spotlight with Command +
Enter).
When I connect to my Windows 7 desktop computer via Remote Desktop (MSTSC.exe), the options under the Start Menu are "Log Off" (the default), "Lock", and "Disconnect". How do I restart (or shutdown)?
In linux prompt,we can type !mysql and so on to match a history command to save time.
Is there a utility for windows(XP to be exact) that enables this feature?
