Why does Word think this document contains macros and how can I…
Hello,
I would like to configure a task like "child control software",
so it would hibernate the pc at certain times.
Is it possible to prevent modification (here: pausing) of
a task through requiring the entering of the admin password to modify,
EVEN THOUGH the currently-logged-in (and only) user is
the admin account itself?

When performing a recursive download, I specify a pattern via the -R parameter for wget to reject, but if this file is a HTML file, wget downloads the file regardless of whether or not it matches the pattern.
e.g.
wget -r -R "*dynamicfile*" example.com
still retrieves files such as example.com/dynamicfile1.html
Is there a way to prevent…
On the laptop I have, I've had to buy a new Li-Ion batter roughly every year. I do use this computer quite a lot, but I'm wondering if this is normal.
Right now, my battery is completely dead (it lasts for about 0.1 seconds), so I plan on buying a new one soon. Is there anything you can do to prevent Li-Ion batteries from going dead so…
As admin (root) for a group of computers, I have to now install a content filter on a shared Mac, to first catch illegal downloads, and to prevent future peer to peer DL by monitoring. I can install the OSX app for myself (as admin) and have it run for any new users, but I have to have it installed and enabled it for existing users.…

I got a Windows 7 computer for Christmas and I like the Sticky Notes application. But twice now, the sticky notes have disappeared after an automatic Windows Update. I managed to navigate system restore and recover them, but it was a pain.

On CentOS distros, there is an /etc/security/limits.d/90-noproc.conf that sets a process limit for all users:
# Default limit for number of user's processes to prevent

# See rhbz #432903 for reasoning.
* soft nproc 1024
I'd like to keep this limit in there, but allow one user to have…
On Windows, there's the shutdown cmd line, but is there a windows command line command to call a "standby"?
What I'd really like is to call something like standby -force to force a system to enter standby even when a pesky app is trying to prevent it.

Whenever you paste code into Office Communicator, it decides to convert half of your code into emoticons. I'd like to prevent this from happening, so the other side can read the code, and copy it as well.
There is an option to turn off showing emoticons in your conversation window, but I don't think this affects the…
It comes to a page called "Dell Media Direct" and then loads another page where it says "A problem has been detected and windpws has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer." then it has a bunch of info about why it may be the cause. can someone please help?
I'm pretty sure that the drive is toast, except for the fact that this error is only showing up on one partition (it's out of a Dell computer, and has a couple of Dell partitions, which boot and work fine.)
I've already purchased another hard drive, and re-installed WinXP, but when I re-connect this drive and reboot,…
While installing Ubuntu Server, during the partition step one of the options is "use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" (see screenshots). Can anyone explain how it works under the hood?
