    I'm not either - it, too, is neglected entirely in the MCSE book. I'm suspecting that maybe the answer is in the Outlook documentation, though it shouldn't be, as there are many other options for email clients that should be usable. "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

    Hmmm, this requires a bit of resource hacking (referring to the app with the same name) Bitmap that Windows 2k displays is held in ntoskernel.exe (or kernel32.exe file, I'm not sure and it's 8 in the morning) file. Now you might want to consider backing-up this file first, before you do anything with it. Let's say you made a kernel1.exe copy. Open resource hacker, edit the bitmap and save the file (kernel1.exe). Make sure that you don't add some bitmap that's bigger than 16 colors! Open your boot.ini file and copy the Windows Adavnced Server and add this line: [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 New Face" /fastdetect /kernel=kernel1.exe Restart your machine! P.S. I don't like your sig Regards, Venet. Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos.

    In that case you might want to use TakeOwn.exe utility that comes with Resource Kit (it's for Win2k, but should work on WinXP!) I recently had the exact same problem. For some reason security bits for certain folders were not read properly (or corrupted completely) and each time access denied would occurr. No way to change permissions back! Used takeown.exe and fixed it fine. So it's worth trying to use this utility, because it does the job. You can even see the OS protected information! Regards, Venet.

    Partion Magic 7 works fine for me resizing partitions etc... It's the easy way out but it's fast and easy. I've never lost any files.

    Is it important that your app be closed last ? You can detect Windows Shutdown, if you listen for WM_QUERYENDSESSION and act as appropriate. Is this what you need ? Regards, Venet. Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos.

    Hey Gertjan, Yeah. What I did was create another user with Admin privies. I tried to delete the old one, but wouldn't let me. I've disabled Auto-logon so this wouldn't happen again. Anyways, thanks... Mark Donkers A witty saying proves nothing. -- Voltaire

    Event Viewer doesn't keep a database of Event IDs that are associated with an error message. It's up to the application that generates errors, to regitster Event ID's and associated error messages. Error ID 27 could mean anything. This is relative to the application itself, not the actual Event Viewer. Usually whenever an error ID is not registred, Event Viewer will give you some more information about the error itself and usually the app. return code. I suggest look at that string again and see what app. is generating it. Regards, Venet. -------- Black holes are where God divided by zero.(Steven Wright)

    DOS, no, Win32 Console, Yes. There is nothing preventing you from usig MAPI or equivelent APIs in a console based win32 app. But there is no command per sa.
