    Automaticly highlight every other horizontal bar in Excel?

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you can not search this web forum. I did a search on here, but couldn't come up with anything because I didn't know how to ask what I needed to know. I did a search for "highlight every other horizontal row" in several different combinations with and...

    Automaticly highlight every other horizontal bar in Excel?

    I finally found it via google.com. It was hard to ask for what I wanted, I didn't know the correct terminology. I did a search here but nothing produced. I mainly use Excel to process CVS files. :) You can use Excel's conditional formatting feature to highlight every other row in a...

    Automaticly highlight every other horizontal bar in Excel?

    Is there a way to automate this? I currently just click on every other horizontal line and change the color. Thanks!

    Ramifications of deleting temp files at shutdown/startup?

    I currently use cleanmgr with the sageset switch to do some disk cleanup. The temp directory I listed above does not get deleted with cleanmgr. Space isn't an issue, I guess its more of personal preference. I just like to keep things clean. :) I may need to just test it out on a few programs.

    Ramifications of deleting temp files at shutdown/startup?

    I'm considering setting up workstations to process a bat file that deletes temp files on shutdown using script policies. The only problem I can forsee is deleting temp files from a program that you are installing. I would like to delete the directory "%userprofile%\local settings\temp". If...

    USB button or something similar?

    Perfect Wooglin! It's a bit more then what I need but the price is right and it sounds like its very durable. It will look really cool also. :) Thanks for the find!

    USB button or something similar?

    I'm working on a project which a macro needs to be tied to a single button. I would like something I can mount on a wall or desk. The macro restarts a PC and runs a series of commands. Does anyone know of such a product? I currently have the macro tied to the F1 key on a keboard, I would...

    How do you combat spyware/malware?

    I'm actually in the processing of testing Symantecs Web Security addition to thier Corporate production, Ver. 9.0. I hope it works out, since we already have a license for the AV server, desktop and exchange .. this is just iceing on the cake. But, Symantec rarely gets things done correctly...

    How do you combat spyware/malware?

    I'm interested in seeing what others use to help curb all the malware they recieve. I currently admin 6 different networks, two of them have 30+ PC's. The others are much smaller. My two bigger networks I use a Sonicwall appliance and block all ActiveX, Java and cookies to every website. I...

    Has anyone had any expierence with this? I've found a good reource with some programs to start testing, but theres quite a few programs. :) I was hoping some of you might of had experience with some of them. I'm looking at most of the programs listed under the "Other Solutions" on the link...

    Ghost with multible hardware config.

    I was going to ask this exact same question. My biggest hangup is most PC's have different chipsets. I've found many responses like yours Wolluf, doing a repair install after installing the image usually fixes this problem. How stable is this compared to a clean install?

    Operating a 17" LCD in 1280x1024.

    Thanks Skiflyer, thats exactly what I was looking for. I looked so hard that it was to obvious, right in front of me. I knew there had to be _something_.

    Operating a 17" LCD in 1280x1024.

    I'm thinking I'm not the only one with this problem. I have alot of clients that I've been upgrading to LCD displays. But, most people can't read the default resolution that a 17" LCD is designed for. So they run it in 800x600. It looks horrible but the main reason we usually get LCD's is...

    Creating a group policy template for Windows XP outside a directory.

    Thank you very very much. I came back thinking I might need to add more info to my post, since I seem to never include enough info when posting. It's been hard searching google on this topic since I get tons of results in configuring GP within an AD. Your two posts hit right on, thanks again.
