is it possible to lock the desktop in Windows 7 and have it continue to display your desktop wallpaper rather than the default Win7 locked-workstation screen?
Given two TFS security groups
Admins: Contains a set of Windows users
Friends: Contains a Windows Security Group (which is also used as a mailing list)
However, the people listed as admins are also part of the security group. It appears that when I lock down the Friends group to certain directories in TFS, the people in Admin also lose their privileges.
Is there any way for users to receive the maximum security allowed between multiple groups they are included in? Or have I perhaps setup my TFS security groups incorrectly?
I'll have to deploy virtual machines on demo laptops, which will use Vmware player, but I've got some security concerns, as some data stored in the virtual machines are a bit sensitive.
Is there a way to prevent the copy of these virtual machines ? Are the virtual hard drives encrypted, and if not is there a way to encrypt them ? In short, is there a way to lock down everything so that nobody could copy and or use these VMs in another computer ?
The old advice to set the REG_DWORD value named RPEnabled (some sources claim it's RPEnable) under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer to 0 doesn't work anymore since the Consumer Preview (i.e. now also for the Release Preview). Yes, I tried both RPEnabled and RPEnable.
How can I log into the system and be presented the desktop instead of the metro start screen? I got rid of the lock screen already, so this is the missing piece in the puzzle of making Windows 8 Release Preview usable.
I have a Windows XP machine that locks itself after an unknown amount of time. I have disabled the screen saver completely, and unchecked "lock computer when coming out of standby". I've even overrode the settings with gpedit. Even still, it locks itself after a while, and it doesn't take long.
If it's any sort of hint, the time period for the screensaver is greyed out, even if I choose an actual screensaver.
Hi, everyone.
Could you suggest or give me some solution to lock or secure my personal information (for example, contact, mails, photo, SMS) in iPhone before I let others borrow it for a weekend?
Do I need to use some application?
I have set-up Postfix with Spamassassin on Ubuntu 12.04.5. Fundamental usage of Postfix is to (pipe) trigger a PHP file. Till here I've arrived successfully.
Now, to avoid unneccessary load on the server, and also to avoid unwanted mails triggering my PHP script, I want to configure Postfix to allow mails only from [email protected] and reject everything else.
How to achieve this absolute lock-down on mail server unless mail comes from [email protected]?
Recently my first generation Intel iMac that I've had since 2006 has begun to lock up and restart on me. Before I run off and spend $1500-$2000 on a new iMac, is there any good way to diagnose the hardware? I would like to know exactly what is going wrong so I know I won't be wasting my money when there is an easier fix.
I am working with Ubuntu latest version. While installing via apt-get install i tried to abort that by pressing Ctrl+Z. It terminate successfully ;). But next time when i tried to use apt-get, i got some error "lock" and "temporally unavailable" something like that and **I unfortunately i delete the /var/lib/dkpg folder.**
after that i cant install anything from apt-get, getting an error.
E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libattr1
so how can i solve this issue?
When I hit Win+L on either of my machines I'd ideally like to be able to lock both client and server
What happens though is no matter which screen I hit the key combination... it locks the server.
I'm guessing the OS is trapping the key sequence before it can get passed to the app to manage, so I'm happy to use a different key sequence as long as the result will be the same

I have antivirus service (Kaspersky) that occasionally becomes unresponsive to the normal stop/stop gui interface provided by said vendor. I would like to find a way to kill the service for a restart without rebooting, however all attempts I have tried result in failure with an 'Access is Denied' error. These include:
Services Control Panel (grayed out stop button)
Task Manager
Killing Process Explorer Killing
command line net and sc stopping
runas with domain admin using net stop
Some details include:
Machine: Windows Vista
Service Type: 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
Service State: 4 Running (NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
I have an Alienware machine, so I'm not entirely sure on the make of motherboard, however, I do know it's got nforce on it and allows me to use nVidia cards in SLI.
My 8800GTX has recently died and I'm looking to buy a replacement - I'm considering the ATI 5870, but what I want to know is, if I choose this card, does it mean I will need to change motherboard just to change graphics card vendor or does it not matter?
What I'm trying to do is set up a udev rule for my HP headphones (usb) with the aid of several tutorials out there.
Created a file ( 90-local.rules ) in /etc/udev/rules.d and added the following:
ACTION="add",SUBSYSTEM="usb", ATTR{vendor}=="Hewlett-Packard", RUN+="sh /home/alex/Scripts/usb.sh"
The problem is nothing happens when I connect the headphones! What am I doing wrong?
note: I did restart udev and the script works also, so it's not that
Our SVN server hd was full. Deleted a load of unwanted data on there, and all appeared to be well. However, new check-ins are now failing.
Can't move
'/repos/db/txn-protorevs/1000-vr.rev'
to '/repos/db/revs/1/1001': Permission
denied
1000-vr.rev does not exist. There are two other files in there: 9-9.rev and 9-9.rev-lock
Edit: I have checked file permissions just in case, and all is as it should be.
Hi,
I have install svn on ubuntu 9.10. But when I try to use svn to checkout code for an open source project, i get this error:
$ svn co svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk valgrind
svn: Berkeley DB error for filesystem '/home/svn/repos/valgrind/db' while opening 'nodes' table:
Cannot allocate memory
svn: bdb: Lock table is out of available locker entries
Can you please tell me how to fix it?
Thank you.
I'm looking for a desktop board that supports either VT-D (Intel) or IOMMU (AMD) technology. This is the IO virtualization technology, not VT-x for CPU virtualization. I've found a list of chipsets that are purported to have this, but every board I look at, the vendor has decided to not support that feature. I would really prefer a desktop board over a server board for this.
Does anyone have a specific model that is known to support this technology?
Hi,
How can I configure windows to use a USB modem like I can do it on linux (http://forumz.in/1799-how-use-reliance-broadband-netconnect-ubuntu-linux/)
I need to bypass the std dialer software provided by the vendor, its exceptionally buggy/irksome and not easy to automate.
EDIT:
OS: Windows Vista (Home basic)
Modem: ZTE AC871 or may be AC8710
Environment : Win-Vista 64 BIT
Graphics Processor / Vendor NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
Video Memory 256 MB
Total Available Graphics Memory 1535 MB
What happens is, i can use the laptop in "basic theme" ONLY, the moment i enable any aero theme, the screen tears up, discoloration appears & then laptop freezes. Sometimes its reboot itself with Blue Screen shows up the gfx card error.
Any way around, highly appreciated.
So, I've got a killer dual screen wallpaper that stretches across both monitors. The question is...when I lock my computer or if I logoff and log back in. It shows the default wallpaper on my left screen and leaves my right screen black...until I'm logged in then it shows my dual screen wallpaper.
Is there any ways to override the default wallpaper on the login screen?
Apparently LTO-4 drives can both read and write LTO-3 tapes. Are these tapes fully compatible with LTO-3 drives? I'm interested in real life experience more than theoretical vendor-touted compatibility :)
I am terrified of accidentally sending a reply before I'm finished editing it.
Usually what I do is either:
copy the email into word, edit in word, then hit reply-to-all in outlook, paste in my text, and send.
hit reply-to-all, delete the recipient names, edit, add the recipient names, and send.
Is there a way to 'lock' the email so I can't send it while I'm making edits in Outlook? I hate having to switch between programs just so I can edit.
I add a variable in whole linux varibale in /etc/profile

After performing a large delete in MySQL, I understand you need to run a NULL ALTER to reclaim disk space, is this also true for reclaiming index space?
We have tables using 10G of index space and have deleted/archived large chunks of this data and unsure if we need to rebuild the table in order to decrease the size of the index.
Can anyone offer any advice?
We are trying to avoid rebuilding the table since it would take quite awhile and lock the table.
Thanks!
