Custom Config The Working Environment For Individual User?
Aug 3, 2005
I custom configure the window environment for each individual user in WinXP?I know how to go to MMC->Group Policy.There are computer config and user config.
All the parameters are in user configuration -> Admin Templates But, how can I set different sets of them and apply these templates to different groups?
I was wondering if it is possible to make a specific user (such as Guest) and change it's user permissions. For instance, right now, Guest can do the usual stuff but not access any folders other than its own My Documents. What I want to do is configure it so it is not able to use certain applications, click properties for the desktop, etc
Does anybody knows how or where to setup a default user environment variable ?We want to create this variable for each user that logon in to the same pc?
I am trying to fix a friends computer my usual story. Once it gets to the user screen for user selection both keyboard and mouse stop working, its either they stop working or the computer freezes, i am not sure. Life still goes to the mouse as it still lights. The keyboad works fine in the bios but not at freezing point.
On my XP Pro box, I need to be able to give individual folders and it's sub folders a single view type. So if my folders looked something like: C: | |-Folder 1 | | | | - Folder a | | - Folder b | | - Folder c | |-Folder 2 | |-Folder 3
I need a way to apply the view settings (ie, thumbnail, details, list icons etc) to only folder 1 AND all the sub folders without it affecting Folder 2 and 3. Also, is there a way to apply the type of columns for the folder when using the details view.
This should be an easy one, so just humour this dim-wit. When organising folders, how do I change the details? I have the folder in the details view, and know how to change which details it shows, but can't for the life of me figure out how to actually change the individual details of each folder. eg add the 'Year' detail column, how do I input the year for each folder? this seems like the most obvious, simple thing but is alluding me at the moment.
I used to send photos directly from "My Photos" folder using Outlook Express, and after I selected the photos, I was asked if I wanted to resize them, and then after I e-mailed them, the photos always appeared in the e-mail once it was opened (not as an attachment). Now I use Outlook, and when I try to send the photos from "My Photos" folder, they are sent as attachments, and they are not viewable in the actual e-mail. I have searched for a setting to change this, but I can't find any. Does anyone know how I can send multiple photos in an e-mail using Outlook, so that they can be viewed as soom as the e-mail is opened, rather than having to download and open each individual photo as an attachment?
I use acronis as a restore tool and have never had a problem restoring the entire operating system. I had this individual program that was corrupted and I reinstalled it from the image I made using acronis. However, the program failed to appear in the add/remove section of windows. I beleive that I have to manually reinstall the registry entry of the program in order for it to appear in the add/remove section. My question is: is there a registry backup utility that'll let me reinstall individual entries? Something that's a no-brainer also as I'm not completely comfortable fooling around with the registry.
The first problem is on a computer which has xp home and 3 user accounts. The problem is that only some programs are working on the user accounts but all the programs work under the administer account. So my question is how can I get to work under the user accounts. When they were installed the box was check to let everyone that uses the computer to access the program. The other problem I am having is also with xp home. In my office I have 7 computers and they are all network. This might need to be in the network forum
I am looking for a good utility that monitors live individual IP network usage. I run a game server and when people use certain hacks their IP network usage climbs significantly. I use comodo internet security which will tell you IP usage in active network connections but the list isnt sortable and the active connections are lost in a long list of closed connections. I was using netpeeker to view the connected IPs usage but it was incompatible with comdodo and resulted in all large file downloads failing. Is there a utility that can do this without conflicting with comodo? I dont need any bandwidth limiting or anything I am just trying to identify IPs that have usage spikes.
just bought a second user PC, is there any way we can remove the names he has to log on with to get it back to original as it were. He has all the passwords.
He's been trying to download the Turbo Lister programme for eBay, it looks as though everything downloads OK but when he clicks on the Turbo Lister icon nothing happens. Someone suggested it could be due to the older names in the system.
I can't find out which one I have. I'm on a custom built computer but I was given the OS from a friend a while back and lost the case/cd so I have no idea which one I have. So how can I find it out?
I have seen at my school that when you log on, it will say "Welcome Danie, Enjoy your day!". How do i add that to my computer and also being able to change what the message says?
I have a Lenovo 3000 C100 hopefully you know what BIOS it uses and I want to put in a custom BIOS sound that play when I push the Power button. It would be nice if someone also gave me the download link to a Mac startup sound which I could use for BIOS
I would like to be able to right click, and when I select new, have a submenu under the new that I could put my custom files for. I actually have used a program (Tweak UI) that allows me to to remove or add new files, but the problem I find is this.
I to a lot of HTML coding and create new files often. As much as I like conforming to strict, I have to use traditional from time to time, and I wanted to add for both. Well, when I used Tweak UI to add my strict template, and then checked out my "New ->" it was labeled as "New Firefox Document", which from reg searching I show is exactly what HTML is associated to. I wondered if there was a program, or a hack for my registry that would allow me to have a new file under the context menu that would otherwise not alter what .HTML was associated to (meaning, show "New Strict" and "New Traditional" but when you check the properties of index.html would show "Type of File: Firefox Document").
My guess is that to really pull this off, that I would have to make two new extentions (like .ext1 and .ext2) and when I make the new file, simply rename the extension. I know how to do that, but I was hoping that there was another way around it. Also, as noted above, how does one make a submenu under new to group things in? Such as
New -> Folder New -> Shortcut ----------------------- New -> text document New -> Media -> file New -> Media -> another New -> Programing -> whatever
I am able to create custom forms but they are not diplayed an any of my programs when I try to print with them. I am trying to create one that prints 8.5 X 6.5 payroll checks.
I have a personal computer with windows xp with internet explorer 6.In internet options under the security tab,I am trying to access the internet custom level. However it gray shaded out.I cannot change the custom level.I want to allow installation of Active X controls that have invalid signatures.
in my "program files" dir... i have a folder name "putty" in this folder is :putty.exe pscp.exe psftp.exe plink.exe i would like to run these programs from the command line... as thats the only way a few of them will run since they have no gui. anyways.. i know where to set the variable My Compuer > Properties > advanced > environment variables. i named it putty and thought it should be set to something like:c:Program Filesputty i think Im missin something... its not workin out so far.
I try to use the environment variable to open .bat file in particular directory. However, cmd state that " cant find the specified path". FYI, i still can open other file like txt, etc in the same dir.
I uses command line > regedit /s myhome.reg where the file myhome.reg is: myhome.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USEREnvironment] "HOME"="G:\Recherche_ST\Charles\textes\" then I open a cmd.exe shell and try: > echo HOME it seems that the environment variable is not set.BUT if I go to the env var panel of the advanced / system dialog, I see that the HOME env var is set. If I press OK in this panel, then it is available in a cmd.exe shell.
I've been trying to get something working with batch files and been running into a problem with env variables. First off, I have a batch file which is launched by cruisecontrol and this batch file would set a couple environment variables. then it will call a second batch file which would setup some more environment variables and exit.
I was adding a path to the environment variables today and deleted the path line. Now I'm having some system problems. Does anyone know how to fix? Is there an easy way to rewrite the Path line? I'm running Windows XP and have zero knowledge of C Shell or executing shell commands, BTW.

I have a Windows program that reads an environment variable and depending on its state the program is configured differently. Where I can set the environment variable in the system properties and at the command line, what I really want to do is create multiple Windows shortcut Icons on the desktop, one for each possible environment variable setting. I can then select the desired runtime configuration by selecting the corresponding icon.I have tried the following on the Windows command line and it works, however when I put the same in the Icon properties->Target it complains"set ENVIRO_SETTING=1 && program_name.exe"
how System Restore works in a multi-boot environment? (I am not concerned with Vista, but with WinXP only).If I have O/S A and B, and I perform a System Restore in O/S A, is there any possibility that O/S B will also get rolled back to the same date? In O/S A, should I allow System Restore to monitor the O/S B partition, or should I switch off System Restore on that drive?
