About to rebuild my XP install and figured I'd see if there was a file or interface for collecting the configs for the built in Windows XP wireless manager.
I've looked under the "advance settings" tab and within the properties GUI for each connection and I'm not seeing a way to export the configs.
Clearly if I'm exporting these I'd like to be able to import or override the default config with the backup.
I'm trying to understand how and if it is possible to list the installed applications of Windows clients via Microsoft SMS (System Management Server). What I can find it's only VB script snippet code to get the installed applications onto the client machine, but I don't know how SMS could aggregate these data.
Could anyone give me an indication or link?
i need check if a network drive is mapped and accessible. From time to time windows displays a red X on the drive, and i would need to manually click the drive in explorer to reconnect.
I already found solutions which involve editing the registry which unfortunately isn´t possible.
So i would need a batch file checking for connection, and (re-)mounting the drive. What i´m using at the moment:
IF NOT EXIST z: net use z: \\10.211.55.5\test
When I plug a USB thumb drive into my Win7 PC, it no longer auto-launches the window giving me options like "Import Photos" or "browse". The drive is recognized but nothing autolaunches.
Similarly, CD's don't autoplay either.
I verified that Win7 is set to autoplay, per method 1 and 2 of:

FYI, there is a similar question (but for Windows XP) here on SU.
Hi, does anyone know that what is the shortcut of playing next track for iTunes on Windows 7?
I am using iTunes but I want to do this when iTunes is not on the screen, I want to change track when iTunes is minimized. I have keys on my keyboard (Logitech Mx3200) for this job but I want to change them and it needs key combinations for this.
I am trying to change the task bar color of my WIndows 7 to black.. something similar to Vista. Is it possible without installing any 3rd party app? Many thanks!!
The icons of my folders in Windows 8 have changed automatically !
Now it is similar to that of the Unknown File Type icon.
My C: drive icon and some icons in the Explorer-Home menu had also changed, but they became normal after a restart. But the folder icons (Medium Size) don't change. This is also seen in the "Save Dialog"-box. Please help, Thanks in advance...

I have a directory, that contains ~ 3 million files in certain subdirectories on a Windows 2008 server. Manually deleting the files via SHIFT+DEL on the root dir takes ages. Is there any other way to do the deletion in a faster manner?
I've always wanted some cool way to log into Windows like inserting a designated USB or voice recognition. Only recently did I discover http://www.luxand.com/blink/ which uses facial recognition to log into your PC.
What other software lets you change the way you log in?
I want to setup another Hyper-V VM for installing Matlabs/doing some compute-intensive programming using C.
I keep thinking that Windows Server HPC 2008 is designed for this sort of work. Would I be on the right track to setup a single VM with this OS and install this software? Or is HPC more for grid/distributed computing?
Thanks
Does an application exist that will cause the computer to switch (bring in to focus) between two different applications, on a timer? This is for Windows 7.
I need this for a screen that will display publicly to customers. I want the screen to switch between two different applications every, say, 30 seconds. I figure there are enough businesses out there will customer-facing monitors these days that something simple like this must exist!
I have a number of scheduled tasks which simply open a web page in Windows Server 2008 R2. They used to run and end without abending, but now they open and stay open and I have to setup the task to quit them by force before their next scheduled run. I've thought about installing CURL or WGET, but is there a way to do this with R2 without going to that step?
Regards.
I have a VMware Workstation 10.0 installation with several virtual networks including the default host-only and NAT networks.
After upgrading to Windows 8.1, the NAT network was not working. I booted an Ubuntu VM with the default network setup that was previously working, and it sat for a long time during startup saying it was waiting for the network. After it finally started up, an ifconfig showed no IP address for eth0.
How can I fix the broken network?
I noticed that if I transfer a few LARGE files between two hard drives, it's pretty speedy around at least 30 MB per second but if I transfer thousands of files less than 5 KB, it is pretty damn too slow.. around 1 to 2 MB per second.
Is there a way to speed up the copy/paste process with thousands of small files on Windows 7?
Device manager shows that device is properly installed:
High Definition Audio Device
Device type: Sound, video and game controllers
Manufacter: Microsoft
Location: Location 0 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus)
But every program trying to play sound reports that devicce is unavailable. In Windows XP it works properly.
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?
I've got a 80Gb hard disk and I want to transfer the system to another 500Gb hd (without to reinstall windows).
What the easy and free way to transfer the system to another hd?
Where are they? I've seen and used a few, but most of them either look awful or behave badly.
Are there any useful add-ons that you would recommend that work and integrate well into Windows Media Center?
Yes, I could go to the green button and sift through hundreds of add-ons. I'm looking for the cream of the crop.
I'd like to make a backup/image of my machine, so that I may install it if i ever need to.
What I mean by image is a snapshot of all of my programs, settings,files, everything, i think this is referred to as a ghost image.
I want to be able to restore so I do not have to reinstall everything again.
Does the backup/restore utility in Windows Server 2008 R2 do this?
