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)...

I'm currently deploying new PC's to a company and find that most people have no idea *where* they get their files from. Case in point: I've had a number of users indicate to me that I *forgot* to migrate their documents/spreadsheets from their old PC's just to find out that the files were not...

I had the active desktop working (WinXP SP2) but something has happened and no matter what I do, I can't get the active desktops back. I've tried deleting them and recreating them but it doesn't seem to do anything now. I don't even see the borders...it's as iff the Active desktop is off...
