I've set up a homegroup specifically to stream Bluray movies to my mum's computer, but my sister wants in on the action and connects to my computer to watch my collection of movies even when I tell her not to. I wouldn't mind but this consumes quite alot of bandwidth. Are there any ways to limit my sharing to just my mum? Or to kick and/or ban my sister's computer from my homegroup?

I used to run the server on windows xp and there was never any problems with bandwidth limit. So I moved back to the xp machine and the problem was gone. So is there a way to remove the bandwidth limit in windows 7?

Now I am trying to partition my 500GB Hardisk. The C: drive is around 465GB so I want to reduce C: to 150GB (OS+Programs/Software) and make another D: drive which will have the rest 315GB (Personal files + games).
The problem now is there is a limit in the shrink volume amount. And this limit i quite big. It only lets me reduce the C: drive to 243GB. Here is the Screenshot:

I am trying to setup a kiosk pc. Is there any tutorial around explaining how to configure the Windows Firewall so that it has the following profiles:
Firewall profile "normal":
- default configuration
Firewall profile "kiosk":
- software1.exe may access the internet using ports 1234 and 2345
- software2.exe may do outgoing connections only using port 3456
- software3.exe may do incoming connections only using port 4567
- all other programs may not access the internet at all; all other connections are blocked
Further, wwitching the profile (or changing the firwall configuration in general) should only be possible using admin rights.

So I record music on my PC and have 2 guitar pedals and a synthesizer running to my computer via usb 2.0 to utilize their midi features. For some reason though when I have all of these devices on at once, one of the devices keeps disconnecting and reconnecting over and over again. I switched out the usb cable for the device and same thing.
I got a nzxt iuo1 usb expansion hub to open up some of my usb ports for future use. I don't know if this could be causing the problem because the hub itself draws its power from a psu molex header. I have the hub plugged into one of my motherboards usb headers. The hub has two flash drives and the front panel usb and card reader panels plugged into it.
On the back of my tower at the motherboards I/O port, I have these items plugged in through USB; mouse, keyboard, GNX4(guitar pedal), GR-55(guitar pedal), MO6(synthesizer), and an xbox 360 wireless reciever for gaming. Do I have more devices plugged in than Windows 7 can handle?
how to setup this, i want to setup this to people that have access to my virtual wifi will have bandwidth limit in order not have all my internet bandwidth consumes and cannot have access to certain website (eg like Internet, facebook ,my adsl modem web configure page).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am working with Windows 7 on a Dell Optiplex 755, but teh issue is with the System Volume setting. When I go to the audio mixer and do the test and configuration, the SoundMax audio level is loud and clear. The problem is with the Windows system settings somewhere, is there a limiter or cap setting in teh registry that I can set to maximum? I know that it is not the standard slide bars/levels but somewhere that Windows 7 Professional is cutting the volume on any Windows application. The drivers are fine, if I invoke the card directly it will blast the sound out. But in any application it is too soft.

I got a stupid email from MS -- How's the RC going.
In it it says something about you can install on 3 separate computers.
Well I'm still using the BETA keys and haven't come up against any 3 Computer limit or activation problems with THOSE keys - and I've tested Windows 7 on SCORES of different hardware configurations.
Has anybody actually had a problem with the RC keys or is the email from MS totally BS.

View 3 Replies View Relatedi like many others have the problem of all thumbnails being spontaneously deleted every other day or so , and all the 250mb worth of thumbnails being slowly generated again only to be deleted..which is a major inconvenience since my processor is comparatively slow and videos take time for thumbnails to be generated.i found that the deny permission for the explorer folder where the thumbnails are stored does indeed work, however i noticed that while i have this workaround enabled, windows aero starts lagging (the scrolling of explorer pages, even firefox pages, and any graphical effects start occurring in short jerky steps) which i again hate. as soon as i removed those deny permissions (and the thumbnails spontaneously deleted) i haven't encountered that aero lag...so its not my graphics card or driver.i have currently disabled all thumbnail generation, folder browsing is behaving very fast but it just doesn't look good for pictures...for the videos its livable with.so any way i could limit thumbnail generation to pictures files only?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a folder with some deligate data. If, im administrator, how can I put limitation on that folder so that I can only delete one file at a time? And if I want to delete the entire folder so it will not allow me to delete it untill all files in that folder are deleted one at at a time?
The point is that i do not accidentaly delete this folder while files are in there and when I am inside the folder that I do not accidentaly delete all the files in the folder
I found an interesting article that I thought was worth sharing. I have always been bugged when reading that 32bit operating systems were limited to 4Gb of memory because of the way memory is addressed. It never made any sense to me because when I took Windows XP classes it had a nice little table covering different versions of Windows in the back which showed certain 32bit versions allowing up to 128Gb of memory to be recognized.The book was written for taking Microsoft exams to earn a certification in XP and I also had another book of the same type for Server 03 again with the same table in the back. So if Microsoft is saying that 32bit is not limited to 4Gb why are people trying to say that the limit is because 32bit is not capable of addressing it?Because the standard 32bit home desktop versions of Windows are not licensed to allow more than 4Gb. The only reason you are limited is because Microsoft wrote the OS to limit you not because 32bit cannot address memory above 4Gb.

Brand new Windows 7 user.
Two users on this new PC; myself and son.
Want to limit the amount of HD space he can use, or my 1 TB is going to be filled 100% with videos, music, etc. in short order.
So I went to the C: drive/Properties/Quota and played around with it some, but haven't actually applied it.
For me at least, it's not totally clear what happens, so would like to ask the following, please:
a. When I first got the PC a few weeks ago, I set up myself as a User.
But did not apply any Passwords or sign-in requirements for either of us..
A week or so later, I added my son's name, also, as a User.
Since there are no passwords, sign in Passwords, etc., am I considered the defacto Administrator (as I was "first") ?
b. It is not clear that if I set up a limit on this Quota option screen(s), is it applied to both of us, or just him (if I am considered the Administrator) ?
I thought that there would be some kind of screen showing both Users, and what their limits are, but apparently not ?
c. Can this be done without any Passwords, sign in Passwords, etc ?
Not too sure what else to ask.
I just read from the help given on the Hotmail site that in early 2009 Hotmail will be introducing ever-growing storage with as much storage space as you need rather than the fixed 5gb it is currently.
The caveat is that if your inbox suddenly and abnormally skyrockets in size you might get an email from Microsoft asking that you curb your enthusiasm.
I wonder if theyre worried about gmails 7gb and rising allowance.
I have a windows 7 7068 on my main computer and an xp sp3 on my laptop. When I try to access a shared folder on my win 7 machines, from xp, I see only 134 files. When I try to see a folder shared on xp, from win 7 I can see more than 134 files, which means that win 7 must have some sort of limit to number of files in a folder a user over the network can see?
Is there anyway to remove the limit?
