Software / WinME to Win2k?

« on: June 19, 2006, 12:47:12 PM »

Windows ME was released after Windows 2000 so that's one hurdle.

Microsoft says that "upgrading" from ME to 2000 is not possible because in essance it is a downgrade because of the reason posted above.

Software / formating a pc without floppy

« on: June 19, 2006, 12:45:34 PM »

Why do you want to format it?  To reinstall Windows?  If so, just boot from the Windows CD and follow the steps.  There's a step in there to format the drive.

Yep, a good question.  Hopefully we can get some good answers!!!

And I will start off!!

I like photography.  I had a website showcasing my work but I got lazy and haven't put it up since it expired.  Maybe I'll get back to it sooner or later!!

I like watching movies based on wars.  From good old favorites like Platoon to newer ones like We Were Soldiers.

I also play guitar.  I used to play in a band (www.dolorouscanter.com) but the band is no longer.

And of course, sitting at home drinking a cold beer playing some Call of Duty 2 on the PC!!!!

Software / Simple DOS Menu Wanted

« on: January 25, 2006, 03:13:02 PM »

OK.

So I created a base image for our desktops and laptops using ghost and sysprep.

Now once Windows has been installed and configured and the local administrator logs in. I would like a menu to pop up asking if this machine is a desktop, laptop, tablet. You choose what it is and it then begins installing apps based on your choice. The apps would be stored locally. Once the apps are installed the last command would be to delete the folder where the apps are located.

I think I can pull of the 2nd part but I can't create a menu using my old DOS ways. I have yet to play with WMI scripts. Is it time for me to unlearn what I have learned or can DOS still work for me?!?!?!

This is on Windows XP SP2.

Software / System Tray Icons Disappeared

« on: September 15, 2003, 07:29:59 AM »

Well,

According to Microsoft, Taskbar Notification Icons is another way to refer to the System Tray...as that's what I've been calling it since day 1 and seeing how checking the "Show Taskbar Identification Icons" brought back my System Tray, I'll assume that they're one in the same.

I can't help that....now can I?

Software / saving outlook expres data

« on: September 12, 2003, 11:08:25 AM »

Yeah that should work but don't forget to copy your address book.  Just do a search for *.wab

Once you've done that, copy *.dbx to the new Outlook Express folder and import the old address book into your new one.

Then all that will be left is a recreation of your email accounts so you may want to go in there and write down all the server information so recreating the email accounts won't be a hassle.

I'm the only admin on the machine, "Administrator" has been disabled.  Is there anything I can check a registry entry?  To see if I can re-enable it?

Running XP Pro w/ SP1 fully patched.

I logged in today to find that all my System Tray Icons have disappeared and no they are not hidden.

If I log in as another user, the icons come back so this is a user profile error.

Anyone experience this?!?!  If so, outside of recreating the user profile, how did ou fix the problem?

Thanks,

The Private Club / Shhhhh

« on: May 09, 2003, 09:11:13 AM »

Put up a bunch of pirated software!!  That would be cool!!!   <_<

But seriously, I dunno....  Maybe just make it an open forum for nothing in particular, to talk about the weather or ask what kind of motor oil is best for your '82 chevette.  Those ideas are lame, someone must have way better ones so bring them on!!!

And by the way, what does it take to be in \"The Private Club\"?  I obviously meet the requirements but I don't know what those requirements are.
