There is a registry entry you can use to disable this, easier way though is with X-setup (google it)

Hi I am installing 2003 server on a single machine with just one domain, and I have a question about the DNS,. Currently our domain is hosted elsewhere and we will leave it like that for now, but later want to get exchange to run on this server. So, should I use domain.com as my root domain...

Hi again. I have managed to get it to connect using Windows Wireless Zero Configuration, both un-encrypted and WPA. But the Aironet Desktop Utility can't see anything. In fact, all the buttons are greyed-out. Any ideas anyone? Many thanks again.

Hi all Having problems with the above card. I can get it to connect to a wireless access point unsecured, but using WPA it won't authenticate. Having checked the Cisco site, it says a LEAP certificate is necessary to use it - but I can't believe this card can't use WPA. Please could someone...

I am trying to use an answerphone and faxmodem on the same line. The answerphone should answer and allow the caller to leave a message, but if it is a fax machine calling, then the faxmodem should answer and Winfax 10 receive the fax. The problem is that this only works sometimes. The rest of...

Anyone know how I can stop IE automatically changing the text sizes? View > Text Size should always be medium, but some sites always seem to change it to small. Can I lock this down? TIA.

Thanks for your reply. Your first sentence is exactly what I am after. Sadly your idea doesn't help, as I have already ensured that users must press CRTL+ALT+DEL before logging on. I think you might be right in that this is a "by design" sort of thing, but I have seen software advertised...

Hi To clarify... By "locked" I mean when you CTRL-ALT-DEL and select "Lock Workstation", or when the screensaver cuts in and is password protected. At the moment, the wallpaper is visible when you return to the workstation, behind the "Press CTRL-ALT-DEL message to unlock". What I want to do...

Anyone have any idea how to remove the wallpaper when the system is locked? I can't find anything out about this whatsoever! Thanks.

Hi all Can anyone tell me why a 2700 should benchmark faster than a 2800? MB is Asus A7N8X-E. Sisoft tells me the 2700 run at 2.17GHz and has a 256k L1 cache, whilst the 2800 gets 2.09GHz and has a 512k cache. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks, but *wow* are the 3750 / 3550 expensive! Would I be ok using a 2950? We're not talking massive amounts of data transfer here - this network is currently all on hubs! Thanks again.

Will all be together in the same rack.

Hi I have to install some switches to provide about 150-200 ports. I was thinking of using Catalyst 2950s. Using one as the "master" I would connect each other switch to it. Any comments on (a) is that the appropriate kit, and (b) is that the best way to connect them? Many thanks

Is it allowed to take say 2 of the old exams and take the other 2 after August (i.e. the new ones)? Can't find this anywhere on their website.

I have 2 domains, one at each end of a WAN link. I can ping the other side ok, but can't see the other side in windows explorer. This is a pain since I'd like to be able to access folders on the other site. Similarly if I connect to our VPN from home I can't browse the network. Any idea what I...
