How do I set up network sharing with four computers running Windows 7?
I have one dlink 8 port switch and a cablenet.
What do I need to do to set this up?
I'm using Windows 7 and Windows Explorer some folders were added to the taskbar jump list (under the Frequent section) that no longer exist. When I try to remove those folders from the jump list (using context menu's "Remove from this list" option) nothing happens and the folders are still shown.
When I try to access those non-existing folders windows prompts that selected item is not available and asks whether I want to remove it from the list. Regardless if I select "Yes" or "No" the folder still remains in the list.
So this is the deal. A couple of days ago I moved my profile folder C:\Documents and Settings\fmunoz to a different drive D:\fmunoz. Today, I created a directory in my desktop using the point-and-click method:
Right-click on an empty space in the desktop
Select New
Select Folder
Leave the default name New Folder and press Enter
I tried to delete the folder using the point-and-click method:
Right-click the New Folder directory
Select Delete
After five seconds, I got the following message:
---------------------------
Error Deleting File or Folder
---------------------------
Cannot delete New Folder: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use.
---------------------------
Initially I thought that there must be some sort of indexing services locking the directory so I got a list of open files using the TuneUp Process Manager tool but the New Folder directory wasn't there.
I double-clicked My Computer, navigated to the desktop directory C:\Documents and Settings\fmunoz\Destkop, tried to delete the New Folder directory using the same point-and-click method described above and got exactly the same message at the same amount of time.
In the same window, I navigated to the actual location of the desktop directory D:\fmunoz\Desktop, tried to delete the New Folder directory and this time it worked.
I thought that this behavior was due to some special treatment that Windows gives to the desktop or the profile directories so I tried doing the same thing with a different set of directories:
Created a folder D:\dummy
Created a junction C:\dummy pointing to D:\dummy
Created a New Folder directory in C:\dummy
Tried to delete New Folder from C:\dummy. Didn't work.
Tried to delete New Folder from D:\dummy. It worked.
I tried creating the folder in the actual directory rather than the junction directory:
Created a New Folder directory in D:\dummy
Tried to delete New Folder from C:\dummy. Didn't work.
Tried to delete New Folder from D:\dummy. It worked.
I also tried using the Delete button instead of using the Delete option of the context menu but it didn't work.
When using the Shift+Delete sequence, it works. It also works by using the rd command in the console, but in both cases the deleted directory doesn't goes to the Recycle Bin, which is my intention when using the Delete context menu option or the Delete button.
I cannot seem to get a headless FlexUnit build to run in Hudson CI + xvnc plugin on Ubuntu 9.04. Here is what I have tried:
compiled using -use-network=false switch
added Global Flash Player Trust file
/var/lib/hudson/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust/security.cfg (with the content /)
commented out the last line "twm &" from /var/lib/hudson/.vnc/xstartup
The question says it all. Inside of the file explorer under Windows XP, I lost all menu items from the top, as well as the toolbars. And right-clicking only gives me the file/directory context menu, nothing to restore the toolbar or the menu. Help. I don't use Windows so much (I much prefer linux), so I don't know all the latest tricks and hacks.
Merci :-)
This may be hidden in the options somewhere but a glance through didn't find it: Is it at all possible to set Outlook so that a click on the "Reply" button (or, as I do, hitting Ctrl-R) will always reply-to-all, rather than reply to one? Or, I suppose, a basic switch of the reply buttons so that the default is reply-to-all, and, for example, I could hit Ctrl-Shift-R instead to reply to one? It's annoying me to constantly have to hit reply-to-all when that's all I do, and I sometimes forget to do it.
In the context of a game (HTML5/Flash/Silverlight) which sends data to an online service to record progress (e.g. player killed an orc), would communicating with the service over SSL implicitly prevent the player from recording and replaying the message? I know SSL includes a nonce, but does it remain constant for the duration of the connection or does it change after each request/response cycle?
Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to use the FC-switch (that is used for a SAN) also for TCP/IP traffic.
We have servers (virtual machines) that must have a fast network for copying much data. It would be better to use the existing FC network than a slower 1 Gb network.
Is this possible?
I'd like to write a simple script that alerts me if a log changes. For this I'm using grep to find the lines I'm interested in. Right now it works like this:
grep line /var/log/file | mail -s Log [email protected]
Problem is that this sends a mail even if no matching lines are found. The mail utility from mailutils seems to have no switch telling it to drop mails that have an empty body.
Is there a quick and easy way to do so?
Several days ago Google Chrome stoped working after an update.
If I start it in the terminal I can see the following output:
[6:6:4528137750:FATAL:sandbox_init_linux.cc(378)] prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS) failed: Invalid argument
Any idea how to solve this?
Chrome version: 20.0.1132.47
Ubuntu: 12.04 x64
Kernel: 3.2.0-21-generic #34-Ubuntu
EDIT:
It is possible to start chrome with --no-sandbox switch.
I have an Asus EEEBox (EB202, intel GMA 950) hooked up to my 1080p TV (DVI-HDMI cable). I use it to watch standard definition movies and TV shows.
I prefer to run at 1280x720 so that I can see things more easily, but every time I turn off the TV, then back on again, the resolution defaults to 1080p (1920x1080).
How can I force a specific resolution? If that's not possible, is there a way to use a batch script to switch to the desired resolution faster?
I've got an Asus Eee PC with Windows 7 starter pre-installed on it. Now, I don't have anything attached to it, no CD/USB Stick/Cables. However, I still get this error:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
Since I do not have the USB stick with the windows 7 starter OS and don't want to switch this computer to ubuntu as it is not for me, I can't follow the instructions in this tutorial.
Please help!
I am trying to troubleshoot an issue on a Windows 2008 server where running attempting to connect to a "Timberline Data Source" ODBC driver crashes if the call is in a "service" context, but succeeds if the call is initiated manually in a Remote Desktop session.
I have set the service to run as my user.
I'm wondering if, all else being equal (user, machine, etc), are there any fundamental security/environment differences between running a process as a service vs manually?
--- Implementation Details ---
In case it is helpful for anyone, I had a system that started as an attempt to connect to a Timberline Database using ODBC and a Python CGI script called via IIS 7. The script itself works fine, however, as soon as I attempt to perform the ODBC connect function, the script crashes without throwing an exception. The script was able to connect fine when executed via command line.
The same thing happened when using a C#/.net service, attempting to run via Apache, Windows Scheduler or even a 3rd party scheduling tool.
With the last option (the 3rd party scheduling tool, pycron) I set the service up log in as my user and had the same issue (I confirmed via Task Manager that the process running user was, in fact, me).
It just doesn't make sense to me why a service, which should be running as my user, appears to still be operating in a different security context or environment.
Also, if it's important, the Timberline database is referenced by computer name on the network ("\\timberline-server\Timberline Office\Accounts\AT" or something to that effect)
I also realized that, as Joel pointed out, the server DOES have a mapped drive ("Y:" which is mapped to "\\timberline-server\Timberline Office")
The DSN is set up at the "System DSN" level which, according to the ODBC Administration Tool, means that the DSN is available to users and services
Since I'm not allowed to answer this question yet, I'll post the solution that I arrived on:
As Joel Coel mentioned, there actually was a mapped drive scenario. I
didn't realize this because the DSN specified a path using UNC.
However, it seems as though the actual Timberline Driver referred to a
mapped drive.
Since services don't start with the mapped drive, I was forced to add
the drive mapping code into my service. Since it was written in
python, I used code from a Stackoverflow
answer that was able to
map the drive on the fly.
I need to add startup and shutdown scripts from a CLI through a Powershell/Python/CMD script. Ideally, I would like to have the same functionality as gpedit.msc, but it is important that the tasks of adding and removing such scripts do not require user interaction and can be done entirely within the context of a script.
Currently, the scripts here seem to be in the same category, but none of them explicitly address editing startup and shutdown scripts:

Let me know if anyone has any ideas and thanks in advance.
I'd like to read small text file, located at: /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch without root permissions. It contains information about graphic cards (dedicated ATI Radeon and integrated Intel HD3000).
I wrote a simple script displaying infomation I need, but it works only with root privileges. I already tried changing file & folder permissions, but when I restart my computer, the problem remains. Is it possible to permanently change that file permissions or owner?
Does anybody know if there's a keyboard shortcut equivilant to the right click - New context menu in explorer?
Given that I suspect that there isn't, does anybody know of an explorer extension that offers something similar? It would be great to have a key combination that yielded an intellisense style dropdown (or similar) of the available file types!
Is there a way of stopping Windows Live Mail client repeatedly asking whether I want Outlook Express [sic] to compact my messages?
[p.s. please don't suggest that I jut switch to a different mail client]
The start up speed of the new Safari 5 has convinced me to switch to it from Chrome. The only annoyance I have is that I am unable to close a tab by simply middle-clicking on it (which works in pretty much every other browser).
Is there anyway to enable it? Even via extensions?
I've looked at log4jdbc (which does not support datasources), p6spy which seems to be what I am looking for but it has not been updated since 2003 which makes me nervous and lists only JBoss 3.x (we use JBoss 5), and JAMon which seems heavyweight for what I am trying to accomplish (a simple log of all SQL statements running through a JBoss application server).
I was hoping that JBoss itself would have a switch to log all the sql (as Websphere does) but I cannot find any documentation for it so that functionality might not exist.
I've only ever developed in PHP, MySQL and Apache and wanted to learn some of the new web frameworks and technologies on my own Macbook Pro. MAMP has been great for the LAMP stack and wondering if there are equivalents if I wanted to switch up AMP with one of (or all of) Nginx, Cassandra or Django
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 have direcly connected (with fibre) a HP ProLiant BL460c G7 with a EMC CX4. I installed VMWare Esxi 5.0. The problem is that cx4 cannot connect to the blade. It seems that there is no connectivity problem, because the server can be connected to fibre switch with other equipment (EVA 4000) and also cx4 is already atteched to one same server.
The problem seems to exist somewhere between the cx4 and esxi when they are direclty attached.
Any ideas??
Hello! Is it possible to only have one space on secondary display when using Spaces on Mac? I’d like to have three spaces on the primary display and only use the secondary one as a common “sideboard” that does not change when I switch Spaces on the primary display.
I want a way to tag emails in Gmail so that I can remember their sources and context.
I'm not talking about labels, imagine this scenario; I sent an email to more than 8 recipients, and then they answered me, each recipient is teaching a different course, and I want to tag each received email with its specific course. All the emails are under one label as you see in the following picture:
Is there any way to tag email in Gmail, the same way we can tag posts on Google reader? Thank you
For last few days I've been reading about Spanning Tree Protocol ,L2 protocol and understood how it prevents loop in network ,various steps in STP but one thing i wanted to know how STP actually detects the loops in network so that it can prevent it.Somewhere I read STP uses BPDU as probe and detects loops I mean how it happen is when switch send a BPDU with Destination Address as multicast and receive same BPDU again mean there is loop in network .
But is it how STP detects loops in network?
