Xcopy Between Networked Computers?
Aug 29, 2005
I have my laptop connected to my desktop through a router with certain folders shared. No problem copying some files and folders from the desktop to the laptop. But it's taking a long time to copy multiple folders one at a time.If this were being done on the same computer, I'd just go to a command prompt and use xcopy with the appropriate switches and then walk away and let it do its thing.But I don't know how to specify the location of the source folders for my command if it's between networked computers.Is this even possible? How do I set up the command? I want to copy a folder with lots of subfolders from the desktop to the laptop, and I'm working from the laptop.

We have several printers located in various rooms and connected to various computers. I would like to rename the networked printers so that the computer they are attached to is the first part of the name. Presently, the computer is the last part of the printer's name.

I have an interesting situation. On a 100 node network I have multiple printers with static IP?s. 1 certain printer, Marketdell, on port 172.16.2.156 is not able to be printed to from only 1 user. I have deleted the printer from the PC, shut down, turned on, Added printer opened notepad and tried to print, Can?t print.
I opened up printer and faxes, double clicked on the printer and could see the empty print queue. I then opened up Marketdell Printer Properties, clicked on print test page. Received error: Test page filed to print, would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance.

Neighbor's Dell 8250 PC. XP Home. Comcast. Linksys WRT54GS. Cleaned the PC a month ago, installed Norton 2005, WiFi setup on her new Dell laptop (also running XP Home), shared the printer, everything worked GREAT until she got hit with a NASTY piece of malware. Popups like mad .... she soon discovered she could no longer print from the laptop. I Installed Microsoft Antispyware, found and cleaned some stuff. Then
rand Trend Micro's online spyware scan, found even more. Popups gone, system is stable, but we still cannot print via the laptop. Printer is shared properly and operating normally via the desktop.
Checked USENET and Microsoft.com - began suspecting Windows Firewall was compromised. It was OFF (and I know it had been ON before), all settings were dimmed out, message @ top: "For your security, some settings are controlled by Group Policy." User is a local administrator. Can't run Policy Editor in XP Home, but I found
reference to PolicySettings.xls, which has registry keys for every OS.....

I have two computers in my home connected through a hard wired router. One uses Windows XP Home Edition (my wife's computer) and one uses Windows XP Pro. The PC with the Pro edition has two logical drives. One is very small (3GB) and I only use it to back up my other drives. It also uses Windows XP Pro as the OS. This is my E: drive. From my C: drive, I can 'see' my other PC (my wife's computer) which I want to back up. However, from my E: drive, I cannot 'see' my other PC. Therefore, I can't map it to my backup software. I CAN ping my wife's computer soI know it can be seen that way. This is probably a quirk between the Home Edition and the Pro edition.

I had to put windows 2000 on my moms PC, which is part of a network, and now EVERY computer on the Network sees an "Internet Gateway". WHY???? The only computer that can see shared files is my moms with the windows 2000. theres 3 more computers all running windows xp. how do i fix this? File sharing is now available, but I myself believe the internet is being slowed down. THe Internet gateway that windows XP is picking up is reading 8.0 mbps. My connection has gotten as high as like almost 2, but it should not read that.

My daughter has XP Pro on her laptop and I have XP Home on my laptop. Both are legal and registered but we'd like to swap the operating systems. Hers is a smaller, slower and older machine then mine so there shouldn't be any hardware problems or capacity issues.

I have a laptop and a PC that share one email address through Outlook. Is there a way to answer or file, or delete received emails on one computer and have that action done on the other computer? I end up having to repeat the deletions, especially, twice --- once on each computer.

My windows update utility is trying to send an update "Microsoft .Net Framework." It is a rather large file, around 70 Mb. The two computers in question are a netbook and an older computer I use to run ham radio programs. Both run XP Home. What is .net framework and do I need to run the updates?

Right click on desktop, create new short-cut.Type shutdown.exe -i..Click next, type in name for your short-cut e.g. shutdown computers Click finish.Run the short-cut you just created. Now you can browse the network for computers to shutdown/reboot etc. or just type in the IP/Name of the computer.You can even broadcast a message, and schedule the shutdown.Cool for sysadmins.You will only be able to shut down computers that you have admin access on!

I have a network running XP Home on 3 laptops and 1 desktop. All computers
can use the internet and printers fine. One laptop (IBM) can share files with
the desktop but the other 2 laptops (both the same make etc) give the error
"The user has not been granted the required login type at this computer" when
I try to access them from the desktop or the IBM laptop.
All the references to this error message say to go to Control
Panel>Administrative Tools>Local Settings but XP Home does not have this
option on any of my computers.

I am trying to use a USB Hard Drive to migrate some data between two computers running Windows XP Pro. I'm using the Windows XP files and settings transfer wizard. The drive shows up a local drive instead of a removable drive on the old computer. When I run the Wizard, it seems to do a quick job on processing the C: drive contents. Then it bogs down trying to also process about 30 GB of files that happen to all ready be on the external drive.

My wife and I each have a computer running Windows XP Pro, her computer in another room of the house has no printer. My computer has of course, or I wouldn't be asking the question. We're both on the internet via a router and on cable.Is there a way to set-up, so that we are both able to use this one printer? I know they do it at my work, but the systems there are possibly different then a home system, yes?Until asking,, she's had to e-mail me the document, and I have had to open it here in my Microsoft Word and print it. worse case yet, is if I don't have the same font as her computer. it doesn't always printer until I find the ttf font over the internet.There must be a simple way without running cables all through the house?

If you wanna burn a CD on one of your company's computers, and if that computer has cd-burning disabled, you think: Huh? It's just a checkbox! Well it ain't. They have probably used a reghack which i call cdr_off. This is the reghack that they have prolly used:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer]"NoCDBurning"=dword:00000001If you want to ENABLE CD-burning, copy the regcode above into notepad, change the 1 to a 0 and save as cdr_on.reg. Run it and voilá!

I posted earlier regarding this topic, but can't find the NG I posted to. Essentially, we deployed a few identical machines (and hence identical HALs) individually. Now I'd like to save a ghost image, and use that to image each machine, then change their domain and workstation info. My only concern is this system ID thing - I was informed to use SysPrep, but what does that do? What happens if there's two SID's on the network - I was able to clone one desktop using ghost (didn't run sysprep), then just changed the computer name and joined it onto the domain after (had to reboot obviously for that, but I don't mind).

Okay so the title of the thread is a bit misleading, because I was able to get in and change who my computer is registered to... However, When I go to save or open something on the desktop it still says C:Documents and Settings(the name that I used to have the computer registered to)Desktop etc etc... in the navigation bar, How do I get the computer to change that?
