Is it possible to copy a Symlink to a directory in Windows 7. When I try to copy a symlink'd directory, it tries to deep copy the contents to the location.
Windows 7 Home Premium does not allow write mode on USB networked drives, why is this? Is anyone else having this issue also?
I can network drives in read mode but read/write mode isn't working! Not sure why.
I'm converting old Windows desktop machines from 2005-2009 into cheap Ubuntu Linux servers. I want to know which ones can handle a 64-bit OS and which can't. I read that some x86 CPUs are 64-bit compatible. The question is how to check.
I just discovered that if Windows Explorer is unpinned from my taskbar it displays the icon of the currently active folder. This is what I see if it's pinned
But if it's unpinned I see the current icon.
Downloads:
Documents:
C:
I really like seeing the "correct" icon, and I've noticed this also applies to other programs that have varying icons.
Is there a way I can have explorer pinned, but to see the icons as though it's unpinned?
If you right click the network icon in the system tray in Windows Server 2003, right next to "Status" is "Disable".
If you "misclick" this, the result can be catastrophic. Is there a way to disable it, or remove it from the list to avoid "accidently" clicking it?
Here's what I want to do:
Hit Windows.
Type in a search for a file.
Select the file (arrow keys).
Open the file's containing folder
without right-clicking (like in
Spotlight with Command +
Enter).
In linux prompt,we can type !mysql and so on to match a history command to save time.
Is there a utility for windows(XP to be exact) that enables this feature?
Can anyone explain why the same PHP application running on a Windows server reports memory_get_peak_usage() as ~3.25mb, but on OS X gives ~19.5mb?
Obviously one is very wrong, but I don't know which to believe.
The Switcher in Windows 8 is really convenient for managing running applications, but unfortunately all desktop apps are grouped into one position in the switcher... I like to kill background apps with the middle mouse button, but it's not possible to do with the regular "alt-tab" switcher... Is there any way to have the best of these two worlds - that is the ability to easily kill apps with the middle mouse button but without desktop apps being grouped into one item?
Is it possible to have roaming profiles for Windows, and portable home directories for Mac OS X be served up from a Linux Server ?
ie: 1 home directory for a mixed environment.
Hello,
I've installed Windows 7 Home in Portuguese and speech recognition doesn't work.
How can I turn this on or is this not possible?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
We're currently trialing Windows 7 to replace XP, one problem I have is that each time a 'user' logs in they're prompted to setup their Outlook 2007 profile.
Has anyone seen this?
Thanks

Currently I am running Solr by just opening up a cmd prompt on my windows 2008 server, and running java -jar start.jar.
This seems like a hack, since if I reboot my server I have to go and manually restart it.
Is there a way for me to automate the startup for this?
Perhaps the worst-named tool in the *nix world, script is extremely handy when you want to capture all the output of a terminal session.
Is there a tool like it for Windows? Specifically, without having to install something like cygwin?
I have installed windows XP in virtual box and basic operating system is ubuntu
In XP when I put any pendrive it doesn't read that.
How can I fix this problem so that pendrive can be read in XP also ?
any command ????
When I connect to my Windows 7 desktop computer via Remote Desktop (MSTSC.exe), the options under the Start Menu are "Log Off" (the default), "Lock", and "Disconnect". How do I restart (or shutdown)?
If I open up the list of running processes in the Task Manager on my Windows Vista. Then I can right-click on a process and chose "Virtualization". Not much happens after that.
What does this really do? What can I use it for?
Pretty obvious, How do I extract a background from a Windows 7 Theme file?
I like the background pics from some of the themes I've downloaded, but is there anyway I can get the pictures (background images) by themselves?
Remote desktop is... useable, but I'd like to get a proper remote terminal window open on the Windows XP machine, like I'm able to with Linux. A quick Google points at this, but it looks like it's only for Vista/Server.
I have a Laptop which installed windows 7 genuine. But there are only one partition. I want to install Server 2003 as dual boot. Can I do it without format the laptop and keep the data already in the laptop??
please help me
I have a Dell D830 laptop and am trying to add a second graphics card (to the laptop dock) to drive more monitors.
It needs to be PCI (not PCI-e), and would ideally itself have dual DVI outputs (although I'll settle for DVI + VGA or even just DVI at this stage...)
Needs to have real Windows 7 drivers, not just Vista drivers.
Thanks!
I'm looking for a Windows program/script/command line function that works like Linux's watch program.
watch periodically calls another program/whatever and shows the result, which is great for refreshing an output file or similar every second:
watch cat my-output.txt
or, more powerfully:
watch grep "fail" my-output.txt
I've looked for it in cygwin's library, but it doesn't seem to be present.
When I'm logged into our Windows Server 2003 server, I don't see any ODBC Data Sources, but when a different user logs in (who doesn't have Administrative rights), they have a big list of ODBC Data Sources.
Are ODBC Data Sources set on a per-user basis? How come the Administrator can't see user's ODBC Data Sources?
