I have a comp lab filled with WinXP Home edition PCs. I am finding that when I place CDs with autorun.inf files on them that the drive icon in Explorer reflects the icon value in the autorun.inf but it is not running the open command in the inf. I've checked...

Found it...it's lumped in with the computer management app. Enabled it and all is working....thanx! ============================= Sean Shrum - Shrum Consulting Blog: http://blog.shrum.net Code: http://code.shrum.net Consulting: http://consulting.shrum.net Updates: http://updates.shrum.net

Is the guest account enabled on that server?" Good question. Most likely not. However, I don't see the usual "User accounts" or "Computers and Users" icons in control panel or Administrative Tools to enable the account. Any idea what to launch to get to the user manager while in file server...

errr...I'm assuming you mean the security settings on the folders/printers. What I read elsewhere and tried to do is go in and add 'guest' to the share permission area and then edit the security on the folders and added 'guest' to them as well with the same set of permissions as the share but...

I'm setting up a file server and setting up various file and printer shares. This is not running as a DC...it's just another computer on the computer lab network that is running Server 2003. Also note that all the workstations are running WinXP Home (yea,.i know). The problem is that when I...

This seems to be a common issue with this router (have done numerous search on the net) however I have yet to find a definitive answer that solves the problem (while I have tried many). Even calls to the LinkSys level 2 support proved un-enlightening. I've reset the router (pressed in the...

I'm setting up PCs that will be in a kiosk-esk style setup. I want to be able to reboot (or logoff/logon) to the PC with a standard account and have the profile be recreated Another way to think of it: a fat-client acting like a thin-client. Is there a way to have a profile reset (or deleted)...

Just noticed something...when I join the domain, my network connection gets dropped momentarily during the join then I get the error. That has to be the problem. What is doing that? What do I do to stop that? ============================= Sean Shrum - Shrum Consulting Blog...

I'm joining a new PC to our domain: Win2K Advanced Server with AD. Everything is going fine until during the join I get an error about the RPC server being unavailable. When I go to AD on the server, I see the new computer in AD so the PC added but the client is still in a workgroup state...

This is just wierd and I'm running out of ideas. I have a user that has a Dell Optiplex PC (we have a large number of these) however on this one PC where he is the only user, the video resolution reverts back to 800x600 when he (or anyone) logs back in even though the res prior to logging out...

Found something out. On PHP 5.1.5, this works in strtotime(): 20060823121212 However on PHP 5.0.5, this generates a '-1' result. If I format the string like this: 2006-08-23 12:12:12 This works in both versions. Granted, this string conforms to the date/time formatting outlined in the...

Wow...I woke up this morning and found like 10 notifications on this one thread. Thought the site was sending me repeat notifications. :) zelands strtotime works. It's a bit fickle about how the string needs to be formatted but that's fine. I tried my raw string of 'YYYY.MM.DD @ HH.MM.SS'...

I need the formula...not just the conversion... :-) ============================= Sean Shrum - Shrum Consulting Blog: http://blog.shrum.net Code: http://code.shrum.net Consulting: http://consulting.shrum.net Updates: http://updates.shrum.net

For now, I've registered under individual file types and that works. I'll research the handlers some more, there has to be a way to address this (WinZip and other apps do it so I know there is a way). Thanks for the info and links. ============================= Sean Shrum - Shrum Consulting...
