    OneDrive - Clean Local Cache For A User Remotely

    G'day, I'm part of a large organisation that sadly has OneDrive available to all its staff. The issue we are having is some of our customers love OneDrive so much they upload everything to it. This in itself isn't a bad thing, but the local PC drives are filling up with cached OneDrive data...

    Batch file doesn’t seem to work

    Um, what OS are you trying to do this from? I ask as the $(pwd)/$f looks suspiciously Linux/UNIX like However, if you are using a Windows based OS, the format for a FOR loop is "FOR %variable IN (set) DO command [command-parameters]" So wouldn't your FOR loop need to be something like for %f...

    Can't print from OL2003 or IE10 in Windows 7

    I've seen Outlook play up before with an "Interface Not Registered" error before and it sounds like you're having a similar problem though with a different message. Try what is suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902932

    Increasing allocated disk space.

    It depends on the setup of the server, how the disks are configured etc. Without knowing the configuration, it's hard to advise. Where I work, we use a product called Treesize to display what being used where. Perhaps you can install the freeware and probably cut down version to find other...

    You said you can't print .pdf files from IE9. Can you print other files or web pages from IE9 ?

    File name is too long to delete

    Once you've sorted the long file path, if the name is too long, why not just use the old DOS name for the file to delete it dir /X will display the shortened file/folder name to use. e.g. the My Document folder's short name comes to mydocu~1. To delete it I would use "rd /s mydocu~1

    HOW TO RUN A DOS BASED PROGRAM ON WINDOWS XP

    Only problem with the CD suggestion is that if this program needs to write back, it won't be able to do so to a CD. Another suggestion, and I know I'm going old, old, old, old school here, but, depending on the size of the app and since it's a DOS app, you could boot off a floppy disk.

    HOW TO RUN A DOS BASED PROGRAM ON WINDOWS XP

    Unfortunately you have not explained how this program communicates to the old phone system. I'm guessing it does so via the parallel or serial port as DOS did not support USB Have you tried booting into DOS from a virtual PC ? Have you thought about booting to a USB memory stick with DOS on it ?

    Desktop Icons are now in a Taskbar toolbar

    Sorry - I should remember to reply AFTER I've had my caffeine hit in the mornings lol I've seen this option on a Windows XP desktop but can't test it on Server 2003 at the moment as it won't show using Remote Desktop session Try the following: Right click on the desktop and select Arrange By...

    Desktop Icons are now in a Taskbar toolbar

    Can't you just drag them out onto the desktop ??? FYI - all icons in the Quick Launch bar are located here: %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    Change proxy in Firefox

    There might be, but it may not be easy. The proxy settings that I use are stored in the prefs.js files. Editing this file using vbscript should be relatively easy. However, this is under my user profile and is accessible by me only. Installing Firefox for a multiple user environment and whether...

    Cannot log into Windows XP. Comes up user1 but does not recognise any passwords.

    Have you tried logging in with no password ? Also you haven't mentioned if you've tried logging in with the administrator account. If you can't do either of these, download a utility from the internet and reset the administrator password. I've used the utilities/programs found on the following...

    Need help to fix Visual C ++ Runtime Error

    First thing I'd try is a full disk scan using chkdsk followed up with AV and spyware scan - make sure nothing's corrupt or there are any surprises Then I'd try removing the C++ runtime, rebooting, and reloading it. If that doesn't fix it, then I'd try reapplying SP3 other MS updates.

    after visiting BlueMountain.com, Win XP computer keeps rebooting

    While in the recovery console, you could also try the fixboot command As for running AV, anti-spyware, etc, I don't think you'll be able to. If you were able to mount the hard drive as a secondary in another machine, you may be able to scan it with AV software

    command line - find connected users

    You can try psloggedon. Never really tried it across a network though. However, depending on the size of your fleet of computers, may I suggest something I use. I wrote a script so that while a computer is connected to the LAN using a network cable, it writes on a server a text file with the...

    Create folder from text file

    Another thing - I tried to cut and paste your folder names into a text file to test with, but some of the characters within your folder "C:\Users\Susan\Documents\iMacros\Downloads\(COMIC1☆6) [Dokuebi. (Antaresu 11)] Despair☠Pirates (Mouretsu Pirates) [English] =LWB=" reported as non-ANSI text...

    USB Printer

    When you use the print command, have you tried to address the printer using its port designation ??? I can't try it here but it's a thought that just popped into my head. I remember you could do it to port lpt1 back in the parallel printer port days
