I set up an account with the same username and (blank) password as the account on the Windows 98 machine. As I said in my initial post, using simple file sharing isn't an option, as I do have some things I need secured with NTFS permissions on my computer.

No good; now I just get Unknown Error 31, which means absolutely nothing to me :(

For almost a year, I've shared my PC with my grandfather, and had it connected directly to the internet; For that reason, I've spent the whole year constantly going over and improving my security to the point where I can't even remember what security measures I've taken. Recently, my...

I need to create a group of "stealth admins" that even the domain admins cannot see; Initially, I tried to make an OU containing members of Enterprise Admins and then only allowing users in that OU the read permission, but it still shows up as an "unidentified" object in...

I found the 210 focused more on NTFS permissions and such, while the 215 was chock full of disk management questions. If you master Chapter 6 of the ExamCram2 book, you're pretty much set.

Bear in mind that Deny permissions take precedence over Allow, so if I Deny the Everyone group *anything* nobody, including admins, will be able to access it. Which means I won't be able to log in or use my own user account. Plus, it's not 100% effective--I *have* denied the Big Three read...

As a bonus step in the case study I've mentioned in my other post today, I decided to implement roaming profiles on a small, Native-mode domain. I set up a Profiles share on the first DC in the domain, and disabled client-side caching (ie Offline Files), and then pointed individual user...

I'm working on a case study project where the employer is a spy organization. I have to build a high-security forest in which the Information Services department (Read: network administrators) and the Big Three group (the employer; sort of like a board of directors) have full access to every...

Pass any Microsoft exam in the Windows 2000 track, and you are an MCP with Windows 2000. My MCSE plan is 70-270 (XP Pro), 215 (200 Server), 217 (Active Directory), 218 (MCSA/elective), 220 (Designing Security), 224 (Exchange 2000), and then wrap it up with the 70-216 (Network Infractructure)...

The Change Icon button isn't there; I remember that from Windows 98. I just said to hell with it and manually edited the registry entry. Media Player still occasionally reasserts itself as the default application for AVIs, but at least now when I remove WMP, it defaults back to the correct...

I went into Folder Options in Explorer and changed my AVI file type options so that it would open with the DivX Player instead of Windows Media Player, and it changed the icon for AVIs to a butt-ugly picture of a video camera...problem is, Folder Options will only let me change the program that...

I created a simple Log Off application using Visual C++ 6.0; It was painfully easy, all I had to do was create a new Win32 application, gave it the "Simple Win32 Application" template, and replaced the TODO comment with ExitWindowsEx(EWX_LOGOFF | EWX_FORCE,0);, and it worked absolutely...

I'm the administrator of a shared Windows XP Professional computer; I often leave the computer for long periods of time with processes running in the background, such as AOL Instant Messenger (So that people who need to contact me can leave a message on my Away message). I've enabled Fast User...

Can somebody direct me to a good, quick tutorial on the syntax for Windows XP Pro logon/logoff scripts? I tried to write a batch file for my logoff script, but it wouldn't work. (What I want to do is run an executable with a couple of command-line switches, so if there's a tutorial that cuts...

Another user of my computer has been running a game which uses 800x600 resolution, but a bug in the game leaves the desktop at that resolution after it's exited; Now, personally, I don't care what resolution anybody else who uses my computer runs at, but I don't like having to change mine back...
