    - Executables are shown as File Folders. Hi Everyone, I have a pc running windows xp sp2. However this is the strage behaviour I am observing. When I click on Start => Run and type msconfig, I expect the system configuration utility to open up. However it is opening the msconfig in the notepad and showing all the executable code. So I went to the \windows\system32 folder and saw the executables. What I noticed is that all the applications (including msconfig.exe) are shown as File Folder instead of applications. I dont know what is going on. Is there any setting which might have caused this? Can some one help me out on this issue. Because of this, I am not able to run any utilities /executables. Help is immediately requested. Thanks. Tag: accessing a folder that i made private before i reinstalled window Tag: 206448

    - Drive mapping for multiple users Hi We are an ASP.Net development dept that until recently used Win2k dev PCs, and have now moved to XP (yes a bit behind the times, but we are a goverment office). A quick history before the problem: In our production servers the apps write log files to a G: drive, however our dev PCs don't have a physical G: drive. Under Win2k we simulated the G: drive to avoid reconfiguring the log file path when an app was moved from dev to production. We did this by creating a folder on our C: drive (e.g. "C:\GDrive"), sharing it, then mapping the G: drive to it (i.e. \\mycomputername\GDrive\). Unfortunately this doesn't work with XP. I read somewhere that the above only worked through sheer luck, because there was a "loophole" in Win2k that allowed a user (e.g. the ASPNET user that the app runs under) to access mapped drives that other users (i.e. the currently logged in user) had created on that PC. Does anyone know of another way to get this working? The issue does appear to be one of not "seeing" the G: drive at all ("path not found"), rather than access/security (access denied). I've tried adding just about every user (ASPNet, IUSR_machinename, Everyone, etc) to the drive and the share, and giving them full control, without it making a difference. (And we can't have a physical G: drive as our PCs all follow the (restrictive) corporate image).

    - Computer Administrator has no permission. The PC user is set a scomputer administrator but cannot execue any program. The message says no permission. Explorer lets me see the program on the C: drive, but it will not execute. The message is that windows cannot run. I've done a full spyware and virus check but found nothing. In Safe mode, Administrator can execute. Creating a new user with admin privileges, then reboot in normal mode, that user cannot execute any program either. What do I look for? -- Doug Tag: accessing a folder that i made private before i reinstalled window Tag: 206427

    - Problem with cached credentials Hello All, I am having an interesting problem with cached credentials on a laptop, and was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on the issue. We have created two Exchange-enabled AD user objects for the firm's managing partner and his wife. Both want to check their email using Outlook RPC/HTTP while at their weekend home. A laptop has been set up as a member of the AD domain. Each user has logged into the laptop and had their Outlook profile configured/tested while the computer was connected to the office network. Both users are using local, not roaming, profiles. Each user is supposed to be able to log into the laptop with their cached domain username and password, check their mail as indicated, then log out of Windows. Here's what happens: User 1 logs in, checks his mail, logs out. User 2 logs in, checks her mail, logs out. User 1 tries to log in again, but gets a "domain controller cannot be found" error. It's like the cached credentials for User 1 went completely out the window after User 2 logged in. Is this normal ? Please reply to group and email. Thanks, Cody Anderson Tag: accessing a folder that i made private before i reinstalled window Tag: 206420

    - Computer shuts down & comes back by itself The problem I am having started approximately 1 1/2 years ago. The computer would just do a normal shut down and boot back up with no prompting from me. Like it had a mind of it own. I worked with the computer techs for the brand of computer, and other computer techs, and proceeded to change the power supply, hard drive, mother board, CPU, and upgraded to Windows XP Pro. I pretty much changed out the guts of the computer except for the original hard drive, DVD & CD drives. I actually pulled my original hard drive when I purchased the new one but eventually the problem returned. I have reformatted several times, repaired Windows several times. Normally I can get a few months out of it before it decides to turn off and on by itself. The one thing I have been noticing is that it looks like Windows Auto Update service crashes and the computer looses its mind. I have tried several things but nothing is working now. I have disabled Windows Update everywhere I can find it. My lastest session did not fix the problem. I did the Windows reinstall repair (which usually works for a while), but not this time. I have been trying to run the McAfee Stinger but the computer starts its little on and off thing about half way through the scan. Help. -- Karen Prentice Tag: accessing a folder that i made private before i reinstalled window Tag: 206413

    - Pointsec protected partition lost after install ubuntu I used to have one Windos XP partition and it's protected by pointsec. I created a new partition with help of partition magic and installed Ubuntu in it. The usual way of modifying grub to add a (hd0,0) menu item doesn't work. it seems grub overwrote whatever pointsec has in MBR. I want to get back the 1st partition. Could any body help? I did a lot of search over internet and somebody said I can boot with a windows XP disc and use the rescue console to run fixmbr and fixboot. First of all, I don't have a XP disc at the moment. Secondly, I want to make sure I am not making things any worse before I purchase an extra windows XP copy. Can anyone give me any advice for that? Greatly appreciated. (by the way, is there any way for me to get a XP rescue console without buying a XP copy?) Tag: accessing a folder that i made private before i reinstalled window Tag: 206411

    - Pulling My Hair Out I am trying to change the way uses login using the user accounts control panel. After I check the box to use the welcome screen and exit the screen then go back the check is gone and I if I restart I still do not see the welcome screen, and BTW I can't turn on Use fast user switching either. I have turned off enable offline files and disabled the requirement to press ctrl-alt-delete to log on. I have looked through the various policies in the management console but have not found anything that is getting in the way. I suspect there is some registry setting getting in the way but so far I have not found anything that will allow me to set it. Any ideas would help.

    - Cannot access temporary files It seems that e-mail attachments are copied, say by MS Outlook 2007 or IE7 to a temporary folder prior to being opened for viewing. The files, however, cannot be accessed, after they have been copied; the following error is displayed: Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. The caption reads the following path: c:\documents and settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE...\...\nameoffile.pdf The Temporary Internet Files does not exist within the path c:\documents and settings\user\Local Settings\. I tried clearing the temporary internet files (from IE) and creating the Temporary Internet Files within the c:\documents and settings\user\Local Settings\ path to hack around this, but the error is still unresolved.

    - command.com New in Startup folder August 16th I installed eleven (11) updates from Microsoft Windows Update site. I am using Windows Xp Home Ed. with Service Pack 2, and Windows Defender. Nine of these were Security updates, and after reboot, Defender message showed change to startup folder by ServPkUpdtserv.exe . Upon opening Defender Tools/Software Explorer/Startup Folder, I noticed two (2) instances of command.com within 'Publisher Not Available', and Startup Value: command /c del "C:\WINDOWS\SchedLgU.Txt_tobedeleted" . As both instances were identical and not signed, I disabled them. Anybody know what these MS-DOS apps represent? Could this be the fix for the Defender Pop-up annoyance? Thanks for any advice.

    - New EFS tool available - EFS Certificate Configuration Updater Following on the heels of the recent release of the EFS Assistant shared-source tool, I am proud to announce the release of another tool to smooth the path for reliable recovery of EFS'd files: EFS Certificate Configuration Updater (http://www.codeplex.com/ EFSCertUpdater/) __Why should you care?__ - You'll be interested if you're using EFS, and - You've tried to make sure that you (or your users) are using the EFS certificate that was archived (with its private key) in your Microsoft Certificate Server. __What difference will it make?__ - When users need to recover access to *ALL* their EFS'd files, and - When you want to make the process as fast and painless for the users as possible - The copy of the user's archived EFS keys that you extract from your Certificate Server should be (almost) guaranteed to decrypt all the user's encrypted files. There are a number of my customers who expressed concerns that even if they did everything right - enabling Autoenrollment policy, creating "version 2" certificate templates for use with EFS, automatically archiving the user's EFS keypair at enrollment time - there's still no guarantee that the user's PCs were actually *using* those archived EFS keys to encrypt files. Most of the time it works fine, but they told me they'd seen cases where: - users had once tried using EFS, and abandoned it later, but the new EFS certificate didn't replace the pre-existing (non-archived) EFS certificate, so all files continued to be encrypted with an unrecoverable key - users had encrypted files before the PKI was in place, then upgraded their certificate, but their existing encrypted files weren't updated to be encrypted with the new keys No, I'm not trying to panic anyone - like I said, this affects a small fraction of the user population in most wide-scale EFS deployments. However, it's an issue I've heard over and over again, and this tool should help folks get on with their deployments. __How does it work?__ - The tool works strictly at the command line - it presents no UI - It searches through all the EFS certificates the user has in their personal certificate store (aka the "MY store") - It keeps searching until it finds a certificate that (a) is still valid, (b) is not self-signed, (c) has an associated private key, and (d) has the EFS EKU - Once it identifies a suitable certificate, it checks whether that is the currently-configured certificate; if not, then it updates the CertificateHash registry setting and quits - Oh, and it generates a log file of its activity __What does it require?__ - .NET 2.0 - XP or Vista (only been tested on XP so far) - it doesn't require Admin rights, but I bet it'd barf if it ran under DropMyRights __How often would I have to use this tool?__ - In theory, once - All you really need is to get the user *off* their self-signed certificate, and encrypting with the v2 certificate - From there, Autoenrollment should be able to keep renewing EFS certificates with no failures - unless the user's PC is off the company network for months at a time __What's next for the EFS Cert Updater?__ - Do some further robustness testing to see if there are any circumstances under which non-v2 EFS certs could be selected - Add a command-line parameter to specify an exact Certificate Template from which the selected EFS cert must be enrolled - Enable a capability to archive (i.e. hide) all other EFS certificates except the selected one - Add capability to write to the Application Event Log - Enable a capability to select the "best" EFS certificate if multiple are found Please browse the web site, leave some feedback or questions, and give it a spin. All assistance is greatly appreciated.

Office 2007 has expanded off the desktop embracing the concepts of SOA and leverage the fundamental shift to combining software plus services. In this forum we will discuss the architectural elements of the Office Technical Platform and discover how these elements can be applied across several business scenarios. Windows Server Security Architect Forum - 11 December 2007, Reading Security, alongside reliability and interoperability, is central to Microsoft's software design philosophy. Yet it is still an area where Microsoft is perceived to underachieve. However, security is a very broad term that can be used to describe a great many number of IT scenarios. In this forum we will discuss the central role of security in the architecture of Windows Server 2008 (codename Longhorn) in relation to Systems Management scenarios such as web and application management, high availability, and server virtualisation. The Services Revolution Architect Forum - 19 February 2008, Reading The first Internet-based services were delivered over the Web and consumed in a Web browser. However, it is now clear that market demand exists for both on-premise software and hosted services; and that such an approach is necessary to deliver the seamless computing experiences home and business users have come to expect. This approach, which Microsoft calls 'Software + Services', is an additive model that goes beyond packaged software to give customers increased flexibility and choice in deployment options. In this forum we will explain the evolving story of the Software + Services world, highlight the latest developments at Microsoft and in industry, and focus on the effect this is having on both consumer and enterprise architectures alike. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To cancel future communications from Microsoft about products and services, reply to this message with the word unsubscribe in the Subject line.

    - Activation Problem after Update Installed XP Home 2 years ago, no problems. Just received 10 automatic updates, now when XP Home starts (and before login), message appears to activate within 7 days. However, when I select "yes to activate", replies "Already Activated". I see where people's systems lock up and prevent them from doing anything because their activation period ends. Is my system going to freeze and prevent me from doing anything? How do I reset the activation and clear this problem? I see where there are hundreds, probably thousands of problems people have. Maybe with the BILLIONS of dollars microsoft makes, they can fix their stuff to work right. Regular people shouldn't have to take a junior college class to have a simple home computer system and have to dig in the internal guts of their XP product to keep it running !!!

    - User accounts disappearing - how? We run about 25 XP workstations in a W2k3 AD-integrated domain, protected by Cisco firewall, Microsoft Update (including Malware Remover), and McAfee anti-virus (workstations updated every 48 hours). So that anyone can work effectively at any workstation, an AD security group should be designated as a Power User on each workstation. I have a suspicion that this account, and maybe others, have been disappearing from workstations. Just this morning, one of my colleagues had to log in an employee as a Domain Admin so he could finish an urgent job. When he finished, I checked the PC - the only authorised account on the machine was Local Administrator (to which Domain Administrator can log in)! What can be removing these accounts? What should I check apart from: 1) Malware 2) Dis-functional Group Policy Are there any batch commands or tools which can list user accounts?

How do I make changes to a user's profile without disabling the Prevent Profile changes from propagating to the server, making the changes while the user is logged on locally at the machine, logging off, and then re-enabling the policy. This is a little too tedious for just changing simple things like the icons on the desktop or the font size for the user.

    - DigitalPersona locks my computer I am using Ver1 of DigitalPersona fingerprint reader with a Ms model 1032 keyboard with Finger print reader built in. I have had this computer/keyboard for over two years. I have had no problems with the fingerprint reader during that time. Today I cannot get the reader to read my fingerprints. when I try I get a "Logon message" that says : the system could not log you on. There may be a mismatch between the DigitalPersona password Manager and SAM databases. If your windows password has been changed by your system adminstrator and youknow the new password, try using it to log onto windows. For more infomation , contact your adminstrator. When I try my windows password it dosen't work. I cannot log onto the computer. I have tried using "Safe Mode" but I still have to get past the fingerprint reader. All of the help that I have been able to find pertains to after you are signed on. I cannot get past the log on splash screen. Is there any way short of reformatting the hard drive> Thank you in advance for anything you can do.

    - Please help to block pop-up windows Hi all, I am running Window XP SP2. I have recently experienced with some pop-up windows that occur when I was viewing some of the websites. This have never happened before. I have done almost everything, but the problem is never resolved. Here are what I have tried to do: - installing google toolbar and enabling pop-up blocker - having my pop-up blocker turn ON and setting Filter Level to HIGH - trying to use SpyBot SD, Norton Antivirus 2007, SpywareDoctor 2007, Ad-Aware Pro 2007 to scan my laptop to kill spyware, adware or any virus But, all of that did not help me much. The pop-up windows still come up back then. I do not know what else should I do to resolve it. Can anyone gives me any suggestion? Thank you. cobeoctieu As a note: my Ad-Aware Pro 2007 detected some viruses after I tried a full scan on my laptop, but it was not be able to remove them. I tried to check the box and pressed Remove button, but they have never been removed. Tag: accessing a folder that i made private before i reinstalled window Tag: 206308

    - system password expired = Web passwords gone Hi, I work on an XP Pro system that belongs to a domain but my user account is a local one. I got a message that my password is about to expire so I changed it. After I logged in, the system forgot all my identification credentials, not just passwords, but login identifiers as well! Not that I cannot recover them, it just seems odd. Why is that so? Chris Tag: accessing a folder that i made private before i reinstalled window Tag: 206300

    - Secedit.sdb corruption I am creating Remote Install images. I can configure a PC, suck the image up to the server and then apply it to a PC, however.....when a domain user logs onto a newly imaged PC the secedit.sdb gets corrupted and group policy processing doesn't happen. There is supposedly a fix for this (MSKB 884018).....I have tried applying this fix to an image before it gets sucked up to the server, but when the image is applied to a PC, secedit.sdb gets corrupted again. I have now spent nearly a month on this, and if I wan't already bald I would be by now!! What have I done wrong with this image to cause the constant secedit.sdb corruption? By the way, I know secedit.sdb isn't corrupted BEFORE I suck the image up to the RIS server because there are no extra files in the %windir%\security database. Once secedit.sdb starts showing signs of curruption it seems that a bunch of *.log and edb.chk files appear in the security directory....and this only happens once a domain user logs onto the PC.

    - Adding Security Group to Windows XP administrators I have just installed a new Windows 2003 Small Business Server and set up a domain on it. I have added two XP machines as domain members, however I want to add a domain security group to the local administrators group. When I go to Manage, Local Users & Group, Administrators and click on add, all I see for a location is the local machine name. What have I done wrong. I can browse the network for all devices, remove and readd machines to the domain, and still I can't see the domain as a valid location on the XP machines. Any ideas.

    - Print Spooler keeps failing We switched our print server (migrated the printers off one server to another one...) from a Windows 2000 Server to a Windows 2003 Server. Now periodically we are getting users (they are all on the XP Pro OS) that are having spooler issues on their LOCAL computers. The Spooler service is shutting down on a few of them for some reason, no idea why... Mark Tag: accessing a folder that i made private before i reinstalled window Tag: 206291

If you "reinstalled" windows, all previously existing data is gone. Also
you can not "reinstall" windows without format being part of the process.
No idea what you did do, but ...

So you performed a repair installation of Windows XP?
Or a parallel installation?

In any case - if you had actually given the error you received when you try
to access the folders in question, I would bet it would be "access denied",
correct? Why is informatiuon like the actual text of any error you receive
valuable? If you perform a Google search with the exact text of the error
you receive and what Operating System you have - I would all but guarantee
you find the answer to your problem.
