How do I mirror a monitor in Windows Vista?
I do not want to "extend" the desktop to the monitor, but I want the second monitor (a TV in this case) to be an exact copy of the main monitor.
I know this question has probably been asked at some point in the past, but I am trying to figure out if Windows 7 supports passing TRIM commands through RAID controllers yet.
I am trying to decide between buying a single SSD drive and utilizing TRIM or
Buying two SSD drives and putting them in RAID 0 configuration
What is the fastest current configuration I can set up?
I want my development machine to be BLAZING fast.
Hi
We have a windows server that has been running for a few years, it has the Java runtime installed, which is purely used for the Dell software. Over the years various updates have been applied filling up the c:\ drive. the updates are about 200Mb each, and there seem to be a few jre.. folder in the Program File/Java folder. Can I delete some of the older ones? any ideas?
I was given access to a Windows Server 2008 box and I need to check what all permissions I have on that box (if possible in the entire domain). I don't have access to domain controller and I don't want to write LDAP queries but just some GUI option or some command line stuff. Is there anyway?
PS: I am not in to network administration, I am a BI developer. Pardon me if asked a stupid question.
Hi, I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 and I am looking for a free tool.
I start a number of batch jobs running inside command prompt. I want to shrink them significantly, so that I can see the Window titles only. I usually shrink them by hand and move them to another monitor.
I am looking for a tool that can do that work for me as soon as certain apps start up.
Thanks!
We're having some issues with Windows 7 Roaming profiles and I was reading here that the login process can be monitored using process monitor.
"There are a couple of ways to configure Process Monitor to record
logon operations: one is to use Sysinternals PsExec to launch it in
the session 0 so that it survives the logoff and subsequent logon and
another is to use the boot logging feature to capture activity from
early in the boot, including the logon."
How does one do either of these options using process monitor to find out what is happening during a user login?
Hi,
i have installed a SQL2008 Server developer-Edition on my Dell Precision M90 Notebook with windows Vista, but the service dosen't start.
SQL Server Configuration Manager shows MSSQLSERVER as stopped and an attempt to start this service fails. No entry in eventviewer... where to look?
What might be the reason?
I will be buying a 2TB hard drive soon, and would like to use it as media storage. I would like to be able to read/write from both Windows (version 7, 64bit) and Ubuntu Linux, and I need support for files greater than 4GB in size (so I think this rules out FAT32).
I'm using IFS drives at the moment to access my linux ext4 partitions, and I find it unstable. Does this mean NTFS? Is there something else I'm missing?
How do I change my windows domain password when my PC is not on the domain?
I know Outlook web access normally provides this option, but that option has been switched off.
Windows Mobile Media player is good for MP3s, but I'm looking for an alternative (free or for a small fee) that will allow me to play other formats like Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and also handle Internet Radio streams (gotta be able to listen to AH.FM for my PsyTrance fix.)
I have a Sprint HTC TouchPro2 with the new WinMo 6.5 ROM installed.
What do you recommend?
OS: windows server 2003
When open explore and enter \192.168.1.xxx\c$ and prompt to ask login id and password, where does this login info save to? And even if I choose not to save, seems the session will still remain until reboot? Can the community please suggestion some keyword to this and explain how it works a bit? Thanks.
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.
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Machine with 1 physical hard drive.
I have an exact copy of the hardware of it, which I intend to use a a redundant backup in case my server fails (hardware or software).
I'd like to routinely "clone" my production server's hard drive, so that when it fails, I'll just swap it with the latest clone.
Is this even possible? If it is, what would be the simplest way to do this?
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 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?
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.
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?
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?
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).
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.
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.
