    Distributing Dial up Networking Settings under Windows XP

    Windows Server Products (and Microsoft's IE Admin Kit), ship with a toolkit called Connection Manager (CMAK) This can be used to build DUN 'connectoids' for RAS and ISP dialer configuration. Here's some docs on the system - Connection Manager can also be extended for your own needs - MSDN has...

    W2K or XP-Pro for Programming

    I prefer XP for the quicker boot and app load times, and some newer API's like MSMQ 3.0. At core OS level both have similar stability characteristics, with XP as a natural progression of the NT Kernel lineage. However almost all stability issues are generally not related to core OS - instead...

    Outlook 2003 + Hotmail

    Someone commented on another forum that Outlook only resyncs every at most every 30 minutes regardless of send/receive frequency. Email sending *does* respect that setting however... "So as not to place an undue burden on the Hotmail DAV servers, Outlook will not do automatic synchs of...

    When I right click on a file my computer hangs for a few seconds.

    While it's not a definite answer - someone at work had a similar issue with context menus last week. When you right click on stuff there is a flurry of registry activity. He figured it out in the end by using Sysinternal's Regmon tool. He then searched the output for '\\'. It turned out that...

    MSN Explorer - Can it be removed?

    Um not sure I do trust your judgement - for you it may not be necessary, for my *older* parents, my wife and kids, and others like that it fits the bill pretty well especially the parental controls. Yes it can be removed no it is not critical to Windows function or operation.

    XP command line to burn a CD?

    Someone asked a similar question the other day - and off the top of my head the only Windows cmdline burner was NeroCmd - however thinking more about this CD Burning in Explorer use the Image Mastering API (IMAPI) - IMAPI is a COM/Script callable object. You could invoke it through a script...

    is there a way around to partition/format a hard drive fat32 more than 32g in winxp?

    You could fdisk/format the HD with a Win98 boot disk. XP is quite happy to read larger volumes than 32gb - just it won't format them for ya.

    XP Hyperthreading patch

    Have you called into PSS to see whether the Hotfix is applicable for international builds? (Since this is acknowledged bug you should be able to do this for free) The RAID bug number for this problem is WinseRaid2 Bug#39386

    Future of Windows

    I doubt that it'll be a discrete application - existing API compatibility 'shims' that were first created in Win2K, and improved in every version of Windows since are a more likely home for the virtualization technology.

    Folder keeps reappearing

    Longhorn

    The bld4051 of Longhorn that many people mistake as a Beta release isn't a Beta release - it ain't even an Alpha release - its an engineering preview for developers to get their heads around some of the API and UI concepts. Its designed for suckers like me to experiment with on a second...

    Win XP Changing hardware question

    I'm going to eat a large slice of humble pie John/EeyoreX - I missed the changes made in XP SP1 where the NIC vote moved from 1 to 3 points (each piece of hardware used to have a single vote) <snip from http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/basics/activation/mpafaq.asp> How does product activation...

    Win XP Changing hardware question

    There is no additional weight to NIC or any of the other facets. The processing is a bitmask comparison not a 'score'. As you can see from the bitfields in the WPA map - the NIC is only assessed for its MAC address. Card type, brand or capabilities for no part in the WPA assessment. NIC like...

    I'm inclined to agree TechITGuy - only sound-wave format supported internally by Windows is WAV, others would assume programs/extensions were installed to play them. Your choices are pretty limited. Either use a 3rd party converter to convert your sounds to WAV's Look for a 3rd party utility...

    what would prevent me from deleting certain keys in the registry?

    what would prevent me from deleting certain keys in the registry?

    Permissions is another possibility - each key has the potential to be fully secured - right-click on the key in the tree and choose permissions.

    How do I 'Hide' the HD from other users ? - Help New problem

    Win2K introduced the directory junction / volume mount point system for NTFS only. There are a few tools in the Resourece Kit to help manipulate these features beyond Disk Management too. Here's a couple of useful KB's on the subject - the 1st is a step by step, the second talks about the...

    Win XP Changing hardware question

    Not sure that the statement 'NICs are more likely to cause product reactivation' is 100% accurate - NIC MAC address is only one of a dozen hardware facets that monitored by WPA. If any 3 of those facets change within 120 days then re-activation is required. After 120 days the 'changes' are...

    What kind of values are 4320988640575488 through 4525336242946048 in a SQL Server table?

    I'd imagine the number represents some offset from a predetermined date/time. The precision/scale is too small to support a full signed or unsigned 64bit value though the developers may have judged that they wouldn't be around when problems arising from that would be discovered ;) Since they...

    nightly backup server to dvd? does this software exist

    Since you've not mention what OS you're running I've assumed a recent version of Windows (2000 onward). Nero CD/DVD writing software has a command-line application NeroCmd (search on Google for more details). That should enable you to schedule Nero though a batch file with Task Scheduler (or...

    Windows reboots at midnight?!

    If there is no indication why it stopped then usually that would indicate an unscheduled shutdown like a BSoD, power interruption, or something similar. For BSoDs you'd get [mini]core dumps generated in %SystemRoot%\Minidump directory for the time that it died.
