    - Odd Windows Explorer behavior I have a user experiencing a very strange problem with Explorer which started out of the blue a few weeks ago. He has a relatively new HP XW4400 workstation running XP Pro SP2. The issue is intermittent and only occurs on one folder which is on a mapped network drive. The user has folder view open so he can see the folder tree on the left. When he clicks on any subfolder within this folder, the contents of the selected folder appear in the main frame and the correct path appear in the address bar. The weird bit happens in the folder tree, which jumps to the folder above and tries to find the subfolder inside that folder and then brings up an error similar to 'K: \Engineering\Folder_Above_The_One_I_Was_In\Subfolder_I_Clicked_On refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on...'. The error is correct, the folder isn't there because it's not looking in the place I clicked. This issue does not occur on any other computer in the building and there is nothing different about either of these folders. I haven't checked to see if this happens for other users logged on to the computer or for the same user logged on to other computers, but I will check it out when I get the chance. It's not user error and nothing has changed on his system (according to the user and my inventory reports). Anybody have an idea? I appreciate any suggestions you've got.

    - Windows XP USB Drive Letter Assignment Problem I've been browsing for a fix, and yet to find one. Hopefully someone here can help. Our enterprise is running Win Xp Sp2 and users do not have permissions to diskmngt. We're running MS and Novell network shares. When the user plugs their usb drive in, Windows automatically assigns it the first available drive letter, which in this case is a network share. I've tried putting in trash binary data for \dosdevices\drive: under mounteddevices, but Win just overwrites it. I cannot force windows to use select approved drive letters. So then I thought I would script something using subst or mountvol, but WMI will not report the removalable media, instead it sees it as a network drive. Then I tried to use mountvol drive: /l to return the volume info, but once again, it doesn't work for network shares. Mountvol /l works, but not specifying the drive letter to search. Basically I need a free solution to fix this. I'm out of options looking for help. Summary: Novell mapped drive F: Plug usb drive in, assigns drive letter F: USB does not show up for user User cannot change letter because they don't have rights WMI doesn't see removalable media correctly if it's already reporting as a network share Mountvol F: /l doesn't work because F: isn't a physical drive Subst doesn't work because it just remaps the share, not the USB device Tag: access denied Tag: 1887441

    - setup cannot continue because the version of windows on your compu I have two dell GX280's and BOTH of them are giving me this message "setup cannot continue because the version of windows on your computer is newer than the version on the cd" I have changed my boot order to start from CD. I am using the restoration CDs that came with each pc, (I have even tried a stand alone cd), however, once prompted to press any key to boot from CD, Windows just starts up again. I have reformatted many machines in the past and this has NEVER happened before (oddly I get two in the same day). HOW can I get these machines to boot from the CD in order to delete the partition and do a clean install?? Laurie Tag: access denied Tag: 1887431

    - What is Windows registry (Registry Keys) Find this tutorial and more on http://thedotnetsource.blogspot.com Reason of this project: I wrote this tutorial in order to help the hundred of programers searching on the web for Windows registry. This is an like introduction, if you are seeking how to use and deploy the registry keys with Vb.net, just see the next tutorial (It'll be tutorial 6). In this tutorial I'll show what is the windows registry system and why use it. Project details: 1- What is Windows registry and why use it 2- How to read, write and change the registry 3- HIVES and their use 4- Definition of registry values 1- What is Windows registry and why use it. You can compare the Windows registry to a database. It stores informations related to Windows and other installed application on your system, but also Hardware. Think now if someone need to change the computer name via programming. How can he do this? Programmers can think of files (text files) to store the computer and windows information. But when file get big and heavy, Database will be more secure. And then they had (Windows builder) the choice of a database "Windows Registry". Microsoft Dot Net Frame 1.1 and higher have implemented a great solution for registry on their classes. This will replace the hard work and long lines of code that programmers have to write if they are using Visual Studio 6.0 for example. 2- How to read, write and change the registry Windows has a wonderful tool on it, named "Registry Editor". But you won't find it, unless you open the System32 folder on the Windows folder. But we can easily run it through the execute command it the start menu. Just type "regedit" (without quotes). Now the registry editor will open. Please before doing any changes on your registry make a backup. To do a windows registry backup: File > Export > Give a name for the file and select the All option box. The backup may block your pc from working for a short period of time. You'll see that there are 5 folder. Those are the main folder (named hives) and you can't add another main folder. Now you can select any folder and right click on it, then add a new sub-folder or value. By selecting any folder and right clicking, you'll find a list of action that you can do. If the action is blended (made not selectable), then either it's impossible or you don't have the rights to do this action. You need administrator rights to change registry keys. 3- HIVES (main registry folders) and their use The registry is split into a number of logical sections named "hives", those are the top main folder that can added, edited or renamed. They all start with "HKEY" prefix. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Stores information about registered applications, such as Associations from File Extensions and OLE Object Class ID's tying them to the applications used to handle these items. HKEY_CURRENT_USER Stores settings that are specific to the currently logged-in user. The HKCU key is a link to the subkey of HKEY_USERS that corresponds to the user; the same information is reflected in both locations. On Windows- NT based systems, each users' settings are stored in their own files called NTUSER.DAT and USRCLASS.DAT inside their own documents and settings subfolder. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Abbreviated HKLM, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE stores settings that are general to all users on the computer. On NT-based versions of Windows, HKLM contains four subkeys, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE and SYSTEM, that are found within their respective files located in the %SystemRoot% \System32\Config folder. A fifth subkey, HARDWARE, is volatile and is created dynamically, and as such is not stored in a file. Information about system hardware drivers and services are located under the SYSTEM subkey, whilst the SOFTWARE subkey contains software and windows settings. HKEY_USERS Contains subkeys corresponding to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys for each user registered on the machine. HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG Contains information gathered at runtime; information stored in this key is not permanently stored on disk, but rather regenerated at boot time. 4- Definition of registry values Binary Value REG_BINARY Raw binary data. Most hardware component information is stored as binary data and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format. DWORD Value REG_DWORD Data represented by a number that is 4 bytes long (a 32-bit integer). Many parameters for device drivers and services are this type and are displayed in Registry Editor in binary, hexadecimal, or decimal format. Related values are DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN (least significant byte is at the lowest address) and REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN (least significant byte is at the highest address). Expandable String Value REG_EXPAND_SZ A variable-length data string. This data type includes variables that are resolved when a program or service uses the data. Multi-String Value REG_MULTI_SZ A multiple string. Values that contain lists or multiple values in a form that people can read are generally this type. Entries are separated by spaces, commas, or other marks. String Value REG_SZ A fixed-length text string. Binary Value REG_RESOURCE_LIST A series of nested arrays that is designed to store a resource list that is used by a hardware device driver or one of the physical devices it controls. This data is detected and written in the \ResourceMap tree by the system and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format as a Binary Value. Binary Value REG_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS_LIST A series of nested arrays that is designed to store a device driver's list of possible hardware resources the driver or one of the physical devices it controls can use. The system writes a subset of this list in the \ResourceMap tree. This data is detected by the system and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format as a Binary Value. Binary Value REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR A series of nested arrays that is designed to store a resource list that is used by a physical hardware device. This data is detected and written in the \HardwareDescription tree by the system and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format as a Binary Value. None REG_NONE Data without any particular type. This data is written to the registry by the system or applications and is displayed in Registry Editor in hexadecimal format as a Binary Value Link REG_LINK A Unicode string naming a symbolic link. QWORD Value REG_QWORD Data represented by a number that is a 64-bit integer. This data is displayed in Registry Editor as a Binary Value and was introduced in Windows 2000.

    - How safe is my BIOS Power-on Password? Hi - A short while ago I learnt that if I transfer my data from an NTFS to a FAT32 harddrive I lose all my security features on the files. Since I use a BIOS power-on password to protect the data on my laptop I am now wondering if there is any point to doing so at all. Could an unauthorised person not simply access my PC with a bootable Linux CD such as Knoppix and copy all of my files over to a FAT32 external drive? Or will BIOS be smart enough and prevent the evil-doer from doing this? If yes, how? If no, is there anything else I can do to be safe against data theft in case of laptop theft? Thanks in advance for your advice. Pat -- pat_mc Tag: access denied Tag: 1887408

    - Tell XP to use the wifi card NOT the lan card? I have both an wifi PCI card, and an onboard 10/100 rj45 network port. I have the wifi card getting internet just fine from my neighbor. I have my rj45 port connected to my router, so that I can connect to other pc's on my router too. But the router isn't connected to the internet, nor do I want it to be. It's just internal only LAN. The problem is- if I plug my pc into the router, then internet explorer (and every other network needy app) tries to connect to the internet using my router, instead of my wifi card. I can see that by pinging an ip, I can see that it's trying to use my router for DNS, which of course fails. When I unplug my PC from the router, I can get on the web, because it uses my wifi card since there's no router. How do I tell windows "Use the wifi card for the web, please, not the rj45 port, even when I'm connected to a router." ? I have Winxp sp2. Thanks. Tag: access denied Tag: 1887347

    - Can I build a stand-alone system? I want to set up a system that will never be on-line and would like some advice on how to do this. The advantages that I think apply are: 1. No malware will ever infect the system 2. I will not need a firewall, any internet-security software or anti-virus software, meaning that few resident security routines, loaded at start-up, will be required leading to greater system performance. 3. I will not need to continually install security updates to system and application software, again resulting in better performance as well as easier set-up 4. I will not be tempted to load on the latest level of software 'enhancements', most of which are really not useful additions to software which is already seriously over-bloated to start with (for example, I doubt whether there are many things in PS CS3 which were not in PS 6.5 and which are critical to my work). This will mean I spend far less time maintaining my system, learning new software and battling with system instabilities. 5. I don't need to move inexorably to newer hardware every 12 months, as I have been doing for the past 10 years. Ms Word and/or competitive equivalents ran with acceptable performance and acceptable function 15 years ago on my 120 Mhz, 32 Mb RAM Pentium system. But there are problems I can foresee: A. Windows XP will not work without an on-line activation (I suppose I could revert to Win 2K - that was equally stable, but some of my software is XP (and later) only). Some apps. are moving (or have moved) to a similar requirement. B. I fear some, as yet unspecified, problems with web-browsers (which are required accessing html help files for example). C. Some major apps. (like those in MS Office) require on-line connectivity to provide help support. D. There is the obvious problem of getting data into and out of this system. Yes, I could use R/W CD media (a throw back to the old pre-LAN days of 'sneaker-ware') - but it's not really attractive. IF I have any LAN connectivity, there is always the risk that malware will migrate across the LAN - isn't there? E. I can't do LAN printing or back up data to my in-house 'server'. I'm sure there must be a smart way of meeting my objectives. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks. Tag: access denied Tag: 1887330

    - Re: "Convert" NTFS to FAT32 after Saving HDD Contents Hi, I do have a very good reason for doing this, in order to access the HDD contents without launching WinXP, using a bootable CD rom (created using a bootable floppy disk on a Windows 98 computer). Why would I want to access the HDD without Windows "running"? For matters of security (out of "reach" of all types of spyware) in order to view (and/or edit) sensitive personal information that is scrambled/encrypted. The program I use will not run unless in real Dos mode. A NTFS HDD is not accessible after booting via bootable CD rom. However, you may know something that I don't know regarding access to the NTFS HDD without WinXP "running"?

    - Send Fax Wizard no longer able to queue multiple recipients I used to be able to queue an arbitrary number of fax recipients with the Send Fax Wizard. Now it still lets me make a long list of recipients, but no more than one or two recipients actually appear in the fax queue. Sometime I get the following application event error entry (but most of the time none): > > Event Type: Error > Event Source: Microsoft Fax > Event Category: Outbound > Event ID: 32090 > Date: 3/26/2008 > Time: 10:09:15 AM > User: N/A > Computer: HP119NASHUA > Description: > The Fax service print monitor has failed to submit the fax. > > The following error occurred: 4. > This error code indicates the cause of the error. > > Sender Machine Name: \\HP119NASHUA. > Sender User Name: fleischer. > Sender Name: <sender> > Subject: . > Recipient name: <name> > Recipient number: <number> > Number of Recipients: 15. > > For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. (The Help and Support Center offers no help, by the way.) The net effect seems to be that I can submit a fax to one or two recipient destinations at a time, but the rest if there are more do not show up in the fax queue. I have removed and re-installed the XP fax service; I have deleted and re-created the fax printer and queue; I have re-installed the modem. Everything was working fine on this system with no changes and then this happened. My guess is that on this multi-core system there is some sort of synchronization failure with a long list of recipients. Even so, it used to work on this system.

I have a proprietary backup system that backs up it's data to a dvd- ram drive formatted as ntfs and the system sees it as a large floppy/ superdisk-type drive. This system is wasting a lot of disks, and, to make a long story short, I want to force the backup software to write to a hard drive instead of the dvd-ram disk. I've heard this is possible by editing the registry. Can anyone point me to some information on this? I know I'm on my own and unsupported by MS by doing registry-editing.

    - Korean Languange Issues ... Hello, I am having peculiar issues with configuring a Windows XP SP2 system to use the Korean language. The original install was in English and Korean input works well. However, certain programs do not show up in Korean; they show up as processed Unicode. But Office XP and Internet Explorer shows Korean text just fine. I have enabled support for East Asian and checked out all of the options listed in "Regional and Language Options" in the Control Panel to no avail. Any other places I should check? Anything I need to download? Thanks for your time. Regards, Christopher Koeber Tag: access denied Tag: 1887077

    - Down loaded and ran nuidfltr.inf I have XP and a MS 6000 wireless keyboard that I can't get the enhanced keys to work. If I look at the properties for the HID Non-User Input Data Filter I see: Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) At this point I'll try anything. I found on MS and update that may help. To run it I right click on the .inf file and select: Open With/Windows Setup API. Is that right? If any thing happens it is very fast. How can I tell if it did anything? Also, looking at the list below I see an "Include=hidserv.inf". Should I try to find that update?

    - 450MB for ".NET" runtimes????? Control Panel Add/Remove Applications says I have two big apps on my PC: .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 (185MB) .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 (245MB) Is this really just 245MB with a confusing report or is it really a total of 430MB? Wow. I didn't need any .NET until recently when I installed two small-ish open source apps; CDBurnerXP Pro 3 and Filezilla (ftp). Can I uninstall 3.0 and see if these apps work with 2.0? Can I uninstall e 2.0 and get 185MB back? This is an old laptop that needs the disk space.

    - Desire stop office critical patches from upgrading outlook Hi, I have office 2003 and Outlook version 6.0 I had said yes to update patches for office, and on install said ok to update Outlook. After install and due to problems long story (with hotmail) I do not want Outlook updated. I restored system and again have ver 6.0 and wish to stay there. I installed update again to try to get it to work (with hotmail problem - doesn't work)..and second time installing - it did not prompt/ask if desire update outlook, as now is in my system file somewhere due to choosing yes before, on the first install; a file is telling microsoft I want to update Outlook when installing the critical patches. I restored again, back to ver 6. I would like to download the critical patches for office 2003, but the system now has in a file somewhere that on installing critical updates, to not ask me if desire to update outlook (to new version), as system has set it to yes somewhere, due to the fact I said yes the first time. So, if I allow the patches, it no longer asks if desire to update outlook, it will just update to the new outlook which I do not want. Does anyone know the file, where it tells microsoft that I had chosen yes before, so I can change it to prompt me on installing critical patches for office 2003 that no, do not update outlook? And if do know which file, how do I edit the file and what value do I put in, so that on update of patches I will be prompted and asked if desire to upgrade outlook?

I have recently purchased a Maxtor 500 gb One Touch 4 external hard drive. I
formated it to my computer and it worked fine for a couple of days but now
when I try to access the hard drive from my start menu, it tells me access
denied. I can unplug it and get in to via auto run. How can I resolve the
issue of having to unplug the external to gain access to my files? I'm trying
to run this on a Sony VAIO laptop with Windows XP pro. Any suggestions will
be greatly appreciated!
