These should still work: rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation rundll32.exe user.exe,restartwindows rundll32.exe user.exe,exitwindows

I have a Professional Edition and during its 2nd Stand By Mode (Standy By, then Wake Up, then Stand By), it never wakes up. For now, no more Stand By's ...

I'd avoid PWS like the plague (as does my friend who ran a website of PWS until I demonstrated to him that I could read any file on his HDD, or crash his machine using the correct urls), and if someone just wants to host a simple site, then I doubt the lack of ASP will be problem (Apache supports CGI fine) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Hi, I was thinking just the same thing. Im quite new to C++ but have done assembler and have a good knowlege of the O/S structure. I am a very fast learner and wanted to try to build an O/S to realy strech myself. Have you gained any knowlege yet that could be of help to me? I am just gettin a few ideas at the mo, i am not ready to start this project for anouther month or so as i am just finishing my degree but perhaps then we could exchange problems and ideas? An Expert is somone who has previously made ALL the Mistakes, I dream of this day. - Lucky

I don't know about the Windows API - I've just begun playing with it, but this command can be put into a batch file and run from the startup folder. I used to use a variation of the NET command this way to sync all my client PCs to the same time using the server's current time setting. One drawback is that it can leave a Command Prompt window open on completion. Adding a second command to the batch file of EXIT should close the DOS window.

I had to replace an IDE cable but I think the HD is just shot :( -:suss:Matt Newman / Windows XP Activist:suss: -Sonork ID: 100.11179 01001001 00100000 01010000 01100001 01100100 00100000 01001101 01111001 00100000 01010000 01101111 01110011 01110100 00100000 01000011 01101111 01110101 01101110 01110100

But this is my first Win2K server, and as with all networking products, the docs are misleading and often plain wrong. Stumbling around in the dark a lot is part and parcel of networking... Yeah, I used to stumble around in the dark with networking, but now I stumble around in the dark with programming! :laugh: Roger Wright wrote: Thanks for your suggestions!

Yep. That'd be the one I was on about ;-) :~ (-_-) :~

This just keeps getting more curious! I did further checking on the Java thing, and discovered that it contained a log file. The log indicated that a record had been sent to www.redsheriff.com, a marketing intelligence company. I emailed them and requested information to allow me to trace who/what installed this junk on my system, and instructions on how to remove it. They sent me back instructions for editing my HOSTS file to redirect all of the program's output to my own server, instead!!! I want to execute someone:mad: A pity it's not allowed, but this is blatant theft of my property!

Yep paper is analog alright. -:suss:Matt Newman / Windows XP Activist:suss: -Sonork ID: 100.11179 †

I think this did it for me. Open up My Computer, click Tools then choose Folder Options, on the view tab enable "launch folder windows in a separate process". James Simplicity Rules!

I'm not sure, but I found one today while deleting all of my files on the ol' work PC that had an icon, but no filename! If you could duplicate that, then create a program icon that was all white and transparent, you'd be in!

I am pretty sure that the latest version of Norton should work. -:suss:Matt Newman / Windows XP Activist:suss: -Sonork ID: 100.11179:BestSnowman †

When I tried to install W2k sp2 the POS complained "You are not running the printer spooler" (no shit Sherlock I thought, I haven't got a printer connected). You know what it did? The POS refused to install! Could this be something similar, you have turned off some services that you have absolutley no need for? Just an idea. Great bussiness idea: Release service packs and the refuse to install them!
