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?
We just installed a Windows 2008 Enterprise server and I'm having a problem joining the domain. We're running Ubuntu Server, OpenLdap with Samba shares.
Does anyone know of reference material where I can find information about getting this server to properly join our domain.
I've tried googling various boolean searches with poor results.
Many tools raise a common Windows XP file chooser dialog. This dialog offers various views: Thumbnails, Tiles, Icons, List, Details.
By default, I always get the List view, however, I almost always want the Details view.
Is there a way to make Details the default view for this dialog across all my applications?
I've made a script that will set an environment variable to the path in the current Explorer windows when its hotkey is pressed. However, I want this to only trigger if the active window is an Explorer window. This should do it:
#IfWinActive ahk_class ExploreWClass|CabinetWClass
#p::
SetPath()
return
#IfWinActive
But for some reason it isn't. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
It seemed quite strange.
I have a share folder with full read/write permission on my Windows 2003 server. With a XP client, I can create a new folder on the share folder, and I can copy files to it normally, but I can not copy these files back to my client PC. I tried use ftp,and webdav to get the files from server. None of them worked. Is the issue related with NETWORK SERVICE?
Thanks for your help.
Since Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 is no longer compatible with Windows 7, I'm in need of an alternative.
I'm not interested in Acronis Disk Director Suite workarounds, particularly not an application as dangerous as a partition manager. I don't want to mess it up my partitions due to incompatibality.
Anyone got any ideas? Open Source, Commercial or Freeware, doesn't mater!
I need any tool to automate my daily work in windows with dialogs.
I've google it and found few tools, but i don't know anything about they.
Please advice me
I have to make a project involving xml for my university. I decided to make something web based and use Berkeley xml db and php, on Windows. So I need 2 libs - php_db4.dll and php_dbxml.dll. There is no such files. In addition there is no source code to be compiled in the dbxml \ build_windows folder of the installation! There is only vcproj files. Can anyone help me with this?
I have a copy of Windows XP Pro that I want to put on my Toshiba Satellite A505 - S6965. I tried to put it on yesterday, but nothing works, not even the Ethernet port. What should I do to make it work correctly? Also, the resolution was acting funny...
Hello,
I'm looking for a way to make the popup toolbar menus on Windows XP's taskbar stay in place while you edit it, and only close when you tell it to--by clicking outside it, for example. Right now it disappears after each editing action--such as renaming a file or changing its position on the menu, and you have to click the again to pop the menu back up to do more editing. Any suggestions on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
NT
Have dedicated partition for each OS. But W2K8 creates a "system partition" which gets overwritten during subsequent windows 2003 install.
how to plan the install, so that both can co-exist?
RE:
Putting this out there in case someone else runs into this issue. The intel chipset is on-board. I discovered the reason for the crappy resolution in windows 7 was that the memory to share with the video card was set to 1MB in the BIOS. I changed this to 8MB (the maximum) and then the PC rebooted I was able to select a higher resolution.

Nick,
Does this give Aero functionalty ?
I have a scenario based question...Something , I haven't faced till now ,but i would be interested to know the answer.
If i have assigned a luns (say, of 50 GB) and put them in storage group.However, the windows server team did not grab that lun but sent an acknowledgment saying the Luns are alingned.
I would like to know what will happen to the Luns that belong to the SG ..in my opinion they will remain in the SG as unassigned Luns ..or is there a possibility that the lUns will move back to the storage.
I install .NET Framework and it shows the message saying that was all right, but when I try to run a web site the uses .NET 4, it doesn't run, because IIS doesn't find the .dlls.
Even if I search for them at windows explorer, I can't find.
Does anyone had the same problem?
I'm doing a fresh install of Windows 7 and I have an on board software RAID. I "need" to install the drivers via the infamous F6 process. Technically, it should be possible to do so after the OS has been booted, but long story short, this isn't going to work well for me.
Is it possible to install F6 drivers during the installation using a USB, or must that always be done using floppies? What are my alternatives?
On my Windows XP PC several user accounts have been created (five to be exact), of these one has all the built-in programs disabled. When I click to open any of these programs it searches to find the program. This is bizarre because all the other users can open these programs just fine.
Thinking that the user account is corrupted I created a new user and this new account has the same problem. Any ideas as to what is causing this?
Is there some documentation on the various Windows 7 registry settings?
Preferably from Microsoft or in some kind of Wiki?
E.g. what settings exist for the Taskbar, Start Menu, Explorer, etc.
I've found some 'tweak' sites but they usually only offer information for a few features and even that is mostly hidden in reg files and poorly documented.
I want to password-protect a few applications (not just files/folders) on Windows 7, such that, there is no change to the protected application's .exe file itself.
Since the .exe files can't be changed, "Empathy" and "Protect Exe" can't be used as they change the .exe file.
I tried using WinGuard Pro and LockThis! also but they don't work for Microsoft Outlook and some other apps (that I need).
Is it possible at all? Please help.
When the Windows Firewall Service is disabled I cannot remote desktop (RDP) to the machine.
Has anyone seen this? This is on Win7 64 Enterprise on a domain. Is it some sort of domain policy perhaps?
Hi,
I'm looking for a command line tool for windows that will go over a directory tree (recursively) and output a list of all the files in there, and a checksum for each file (can be CRC, MD5, whatever).
Esentially, what I want is to compare 2 big directory trees in 2 machines. I'm planning to take the outputs of running this tool in both, and diffing them to make sure they're identical.
I appreciate any ideas.
I already saw the http://www.ryandelaplante.com/rdelaplante/entry/creating_a_windows_service_for link, but it doesn't appear to work on GlassFish v3. If anyone's successfully gotten GlassFish v3 to run as a service on Windows, please share how you did it!
Most people use their SSD as their primary system installation disk with Windows 7.
W7 already has a lot of optimizations for SSDs, both in terms of performance and lifetime. Minimizing writes increases the lifetime of SSDs, so post each suggestion as an answer and let others vote on them.
I have a Java application in a .jar-file. I can start it by typing java -jar myapp.jar and the application starts, but if I double-click on the .jar-file, nothing happens. What can be wrong? How can I fix this? I use Windows Vista.
