    - For .... in loop I don't know if I'm hitting the right group, if not can somebody tell me which group to post in. I need to use Eseutil utility from Microsoft Exchange sever to copy a large folder(120 gig). Eseutil does not accept * character, therefore I need to use it in a " for .... in" DOS command. the root folder to copy from contains subfolders and files and the subfolder too contains subfolders and files. (each subfolder contains multi level of subfolders and files with different extensions) I need to use something as the following : myRootFolder> for /R %I in (.) do for /D %K in ("%I") do mkdir %K for /F %G in (dir %K /A:-D /B) do Eseutil /Y \\server1\c$\%G /D\\server2\d$\%G the command above is not correct. But what I'm trying is: 1- loop into each folder 2- get the folder name and create an empty similar one on the target(has the same name) 3- fetch all the files under this folder 4- use Eseutil to copy the files one by one thanks for help Tag: media center Tag: 1903114

    - multiboot I am wondering if it is possible to remove an operating system from a multiboot system. I had windows xp crash on me and when doing a system restore was plagued with errors. I ended up setting up a multiboot system with the original windows xp showing up as the default operating system at startup but not able to start as a file is missing or corrupt. How do I get rid of the original messed up XP?

    - Rules of Conduct for the Microsoft MVP's For all you MVP's & "wannabes" in training, here's a few basic rules: 1) If a poster is having hardware trouble, always respond with "It's YOUR fault, you should have done you HOMEWORK", regardless of the actual problem. In fact, reading the entire post isn't even necessary. - example: "So what if your new $500 "Vista Certified" video card has no drivers? We never said it would work right NOW, we meant it MIGHT work LATER." BTW, "Homework" = "Upgrade Advisor", yea, we know it's seriously flawed, but who cares? We get to laugh at & ridicule those stupid enough to have trusted it in the first place. It's a "win-win" situation for us if ever there was one. 2) If a poster is having software trouble, always respond with "It's YOUR fault, you should have done you HOMEWORK", regardless of the actual problem. See? Easy isn't it? We went to great lengths to make sure upgraders would have to buy as much new software (and hardware) as possible. See, we have this "deal" with the vendors, but don't mention this online, just blame the vendors instead. They don't care, they're getting rich too. Besides, they won't say anything if they know what's good for them. 3) If a poster protests or questions your reply, take it up a notch. Calling a poster stupid is usually sufficient to put them in their place. How dare they. Better yet, divert all attention by complaining about something totally unrelated, like top-posting or OT posts. Disparaging comments about the posters mental state or physical attributes are always a good way to sidestep any and all issues. 4) If a poster presents evidence that you are full of sh*t, merely sneer and call them a liar. Always question their sources and present links to OUR crapola, like the Upgrade Advisor or the Hardware Compatibility List. Remember, these are what we are paying Marketing for. Use them. Otherwise, when in doubt, simply lie (see #5). 5) Make stuff up. Technical expertise is not required on your part. Just reply with baffling diatribes comprised of whatever you can pull out of your butt. The more mind-numbing stupidity the better, this serves to leave posters with that "deer in the headlights" look while they try and comprehend what you just said. At the very least, this ought to keep them quiet for a while. And whatever you do, never fall into the trap of having to "prove" you point. Tell the posters to prove theirs instead. We are above such things. 6) "It works for me". This is quickly becoming the mantra of choice. It's benefits are twofold; #1) It clearly establishes you as technically superior to the poster, as well as smarter - go ahead, beat your chest like an ape, you've earned it. #2) It is just one more way to inform a poster of their obvious low IQ (see #3 above). Never pass on an opportunity to employ this tactic. Why? Because as long as we aren't actually going to help anyone, we may as well provide some sitcom quality entertainment. Good boy, have a banana. 7) If all else fails, simply call the poster a troll and encourage all your fanboy buddies to sing along. This is generally the easiest route since after all, we are Borg of Redmond. 8) Be sure and spend as mush as possible net-copping the newsgroup. This is just as good as offering any actual technical help, and it's far easier and much more fun. Berate posters that they're posting in the wrong newsgroup, or that their posts are off-topic. Best of all, be sure and post moronic "Rules of Conduct" in an effort to place yourself on a pedestal, rising above the rest of the mere mortals. However, NEVER belittle the newsgroup's pet morons, like Frank & Bill Yaniare. Yeah, we know they're just clueless doofuses, but they're so Pro-Anything-Microsoft, we just don't have the heart to ban their sorry asses. 9) Repeat steps 1-8 ad nauseum. Cut & Paste was designed just for this purpose. Remember, it's not a lie if YOU believe it. Never forget, this is all part of the grand design, to promote and protect the Church of Microsoft. Religious zealotry is our way of life, it is in our hands to seek out and crush the infidels where ever they may be. Microsoft is NEVER wrong, NEVER at fault. We are the shepherds, upgraders everywhere are the sheep. When the collection plate passes, feel free to toss in your balls and your brain. Now bend over, ..attaboy. * Disclaimer* Your true mission, while cleverly disguised as "Technical Support" is really all about noise and damage control. Microsoft Legal loves you. How else could we possible assemble an army of mindless unpaid droids to do our dirty work, all while having no official or legal obligation, not to mention responsibility or accountability? God Bless America. Tag: media center Tag: 1903078

    - E-mail username & p/w had to be reentered after XP SP3 installed Last night I installed XP Service Pack 3 (SP3). But when I launched Outlook Express I got an error message (within a dialog box) when OE tried to connect to my mail server. The message said, "Please enter your user name and password for the following server: pop.west.cox.net". Note: This is the common error you get whenever your password or user name is incorrect in the SERVER tab for your e-mail account properties. I reentered the exact same "User Name" and "Password" that was already in the two edit boxes for this dialog box. After that I could read e-mail OK. Please note that this little anomaly seems to be ISP dependent. I have two ISPs and I therefore use two POP servers with Outlook Express. I had no problem with "pop.att.yahoo.com". The aforementioned problem ONLY existed with "pop.west.cox.net". The first server is for AT&T (formerly SBC Global). The second server is for ISP COX Communications. My residence: Southern California Has anyone else, who uses Outlook Express or Outlook, had to reenter their e-mail user name & password after installing SP3? Tag: media center Tag: 1903062

    - Windows XP SP3 removed username from CTRL+ALT+DEL Hi, I have installed Windows XP SP3 on all my client Windows XP workstations through WSUS. When a user locks his workstation using CTRL+ALT+DEL and tries to unlock the workstation, their username is blank. Before SP3 the username was there and the user only had to type their password.

    - xp slow dos compress pkzip Hi Folks: Not a question here, just observations. We have an IBM running as a station monitor that runs software that saves log files; about 86 megs a day. It ran out of hard drive the other day. About time I guess.. I tried sending these to compress. Well, fist I could only do 1 file, because there was very limited hard drive. But, after 1, then 2, then 4, etc., and deleting the original files, I could 'compress' about a month's worth of files in a clip. I couldn't 'compress' 2 months, no matter how much free hard drive I had. Using 'compress' I could only do a month at a time. It took about 16 seconds a file (86 megs) and compressed very tight! A whole month compressed to about 60 megs! I noticed there is about 2 years of these files to compress.. That's a LONG time to compress! I just found PKZIP on a boot chip! Using the CMD window, our good 'ol virtual DOS window, I can 'pkzip' the all these files at once - over two years worth, and it takes 6 seconds a file. Over twice as fast in a 'virtual DOS box' it's causing FAR less drive activity, and I can still use the computer! In fact, I'm deleting the originals after PKZIP 'zips' them. Why is this?

    - Text in ASP Scripts Hidden From Windows Search Found some interesting behavior in Windows Search (Start => Search => All files and folders => search for "A word or phrase in the file:"). This applies to XP and maybe other Windows flavors. Procedure: 1. Create a simple text file named test.txt. 2. Open the text file in a text editor and add a simple test word such as "blah" (not quotes). 3. Save the text file. 4. Using Windows search, attempt to locate this new text file by searching for files containing the word "blah" (no quotes). Recommend limiting search to folder that contains the new text file and deselect search subfolders option. 5. The file should be found. 6. Change the file extension of the text file from .txt to .asp. 7. Redo the search. 8. The file should be found. 9. Reopen the text file (now named test.asp) in a text editor. 10. Change the string "blah" to "<% blah %>" (without quotes). [The brackets delineate script in asp files.] 11. Save the changes. 12 Redo the search. 13. The file is NOT found. Interesting. There must be some security concern related to .asp files with embedded scripts relative to Windows Search. I wonder if there is a KB article or something about to this. I have not been able to find anything. Can anyone shed any light on this behavior? Does anyone know of a good tool to find files containing a specific string/pattern? Cygwin and some of the Unix tools works, but a GUI tool like Windows Search would be preferrable. Thanks. Tag: media center Tag: 1903019

    - Share folder on corporate network, can't find on other end Hello, So for various reasons, the best way I can share this one file with several co-workers is to a share a file off my hard drive. We are all on the same network and anytime they'd need it my computer would be on. I was able to use Windows built in help to "Share the folder" with my co-workers but once on their machines I could not figure out how to go find the shared folder. I have a feeling I need an IP Address, and if so, you'll need to tell me how to find it. So how can I get this shared folder so that everyone can see it and access it? I am running Windows XP Pro as are all my co-workers. Thank you -- BlueWolverine MSE - Mech. Eng. Go BLUE! Tag: media center Tag: 1902999

    - sp3 and ftp command line I just installed XP sp3 on a computer within our domain. Now, ftp from a command line does not work. It connects, you can login, you can change directories, you can rename and even delete files. But, if you try ls, dir, get, or send, those commands timeout. After those commands timeout, the connection remains open and you can still do the previous commands listed, but not get,send,ls,dir. Just as a test, I opened the ftp site from within IE and it works fine in there, I can copy and paste, rename, delete files. Windows Firewall and ICS are both disabled. Last Friday, I installed sp3 on my own workstation, and I do not have any of these same problems. So, to further test it, I installed sp3 on another computer. This third computer has the same problems with ftp that the first one has. And, something else that might be related... With a domain admin account, I can pull up Computer Management for my computer remotely, but not the 2 that have the ftp problems. And, this problem is usually fixed by disabling Windows Firewall or configuring Windows Firewall to allow those type connections. The only difference between these 3 computers is that on mine, I used our internal WSUS server to apply the service pack. The other 2 computers, I downloaded the sp3 distribution, WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe, from Microsoft and installed that. I didn't want to apply sp3 domain wide, so I figured I'd just install it on a few computers first. Any help would be much appreciated!! Tag: media center Tag: 1902935

    - FAT32 extended partition not recognized as an XP Drive - but can I have a strange situation.. PC Info: AMD X2 4800+, 300gb Seagate SATA drive, 4 gb mem (2 sets dual channel), XP Media Edition. HD partitioned 4 drives (C & D - Fat32, E & F - NTFS) My PC froze last week and I had to press (Ugh!) the reset button. After it rebooted, it went into CHKDSK (which I expected), but it scanned my D Drive first, then went to C, and froze at 30%. After a while I finally reset it again and this time it scanned C: first and finished and then stated that it couldn't check D:, because D: was not an XP drive. My system starts (very, very slowly) and runs (very very slowly), and my D: drive is listed, but not accessible (not a windows drive). Now the weird (and Lucky) part.... I booted with a Win98se floppy and was able to get (using a great free long filename utility) my data off the D: drive, which DOS was able to display. I copied it to the C: drive for recovery off my network. Now the Questions... What can I do to get the D: drive to show back up in Windows and why can I see the data in DOS but not in windows? Has anyone else ever had something like this happen? Thanks, RJC Tag: media center Tag: 1902908

    - XP SP3 - SVCHOST.EXE USES 100% CPU - AUTOMATIC UPDATE SERVICE BROK I reloaded XP PRO on my Dell 810 twice with the same result. After install of SP3, I tried installing other updates but windows update fails and says another automatic update is pending and has to complete first. At this point svchost.exe eats 100% cpu and can only be fixed by stopping the automatic update service. I tried rebooting, waiting overnight but the same result. Any clues on how to clear this problem? Tag: media center Tag: 1902878

    - Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close The OS is XP Pro. There are two user accounts: me and she. The problem: when she tries to access a picture that was just sent to "my pictures" or one on her desk top the following message pops up. "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" and the system hangs. Process explorer shows that "my pictures is not responding. Looking at the details has: AppName explorer.exe ModVer 5.1.2600.3119 AppVer 6.0.2900.3156 Offset 0012a5b ModName kernel32.dll But if I log on to my account and go to "my computer" and approach the same file via "docs & settings" and onward to her "my pictures folder", then the jpg picture file opens with no difficulty at all. What is going on here? Charlie Tag: media center Tag: 1902870

    - Printing the screen and printing in XP Hi all Not sure this is possible but I have to do a load of screen prints which I currently paste into Paint. Is there shortcut (or another way to) to printscreen and then print immediately (without pasting)? Ideally, alt printscreen and print would be best.

    - Parser message?? After installing WinXP on my new AMD Athlon dual core, the control panel function Add/Remove software doesn't work. It produces a small window named Parser Message that says 'Value creation failed " at line 451'. No further explanation given, just OK, after which the message disappeares. The system further seems to work fine, except for the DVD drive that sometimes is not accessible, but that also happened under win98. Tag: media center Tag: 1902836
