Well, this is an ancient thread, but I'm having some issues here with this same thing. I want to force the administrator account to change its password at the first logon. So, I put in my commands.txt cusrmgr -u userName -s PasswordNeverExpires +s MustChangePassword When I log on, the box is checked, however, it doesn't require a change password, it only says: Your password expires today. Do you want to change it now? But a day later... and another day after that.... still not being forced. Any idea why and how I can fix this? P.S. This is on a windows xp professional unattended install.

Why would you want that? Isn't that for when active desktop dies and needs to be restarted?

This may be a temporary glitch from the upgrade, but when I logged in today, it claimed there were 0 new posts in 0 threads, which I know isn't true because there were new posts. Also, the view has been defaulting to overview instead of standard. I have to change it on every single thread.

Well, yes, but water is even better. Even real juice still has sugars in it. It's not bad for you per se, but water's even better.

Actually, though many people have been extolling the virtues of juice, the fact is that it's just as high in sugar as many sodas. True, it doesn't have artificial crap in it, but it's still mostly sugar. Just a thought....

Hard to say. Extra sugar in most people's diets (getting rid of aspatame altogether would mean LOTS more sugar) will lead directly to weight gain, which in turn will lead to far higher risks of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis and all that (it even increases risk of some cancers AFAIK). [...] THANK YOU!!! I know many people with type-1 diabetes, and they always tell me how they wish people would distinguish between types 1 and 2, since people see they have diabetes and say things like "Oh! Is that because you eat too much?" which is insulting. Good points, by the way. Ummmm..... well, splenda has its own issues. Every time I've had it I've gotten a head ache. And as for beer blowing your BGL through the roof, just take some extra insulin when you drink. As far as I can see, you're wrong. If it's pure sugar of any kind, it's got a high glycemic index. Huh. I almost always take a water bottle when I run. However, when running with the XC team, we often run places with waterfountains, or if not, we take turns bringing a group water bottle. Which results in a problem if one person gets sick, because then we all do... The trick I've found is to only drink a little bit, and not too often, but when you're done, drink a LOT, and drink something about 30-60 minutes before running. Gatorade, etc.. are good, too, for race days. Overall, addressing the issue... 2L of anything artificial is going to be bad for you. Water's the best. Not bottled water - it's weird and it wastes resources - but tap water, preferably filtered. And keep away from that "vitamin water" stuff. It's bad for you. If plain water is boring, try some tea - non caffeinated! Or hot cocoa in the winter, but not too much since milk and cocoa have sugar. REMEMBER: Sugar is not inherently bad. Your body NEEDS it. It's just about how much how often. On the other hand, artificial stuff it bad for you. Especially aspartame. Ugh.

Yeah... and then you're back to square one since you have that same f****ing tab open.

You didn't read what I said, did you? I could've killed firefox.exe, but then I would've lost everything in all the other open tabs, which I didn't want to lose.

Well, I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I have hacked winbrand.dll to get the modified logo in the winver.exe dialog, and I am using truetransparency for the vista borders. I have a hacked uxtheme.dll, which allows for use of the vista theme from the vista transformation pack. Glass2K is used for the taskbar and start menu transparencies. I also have winflip 3d running, but you can't see it in that screenshot: winflip

Or, make a post saying "Stuff coming soon!" and then edit that post. When your limit is up, start composing a new post. When you're all done, submit the edited version, then quickly submit the reply.

Here's a pic of my computer. I cropped out all the mess and everything, since all the crap on my desk would be distracting from the real point. (Clicky-clicky for full size) and here's what my screen looks like: (Clicky-clicky for full size)

This won't work with checkboxes, because then what happens if they select multiple boxes, where should it go? What you need to use are radio buttons. <input type="radio" id="goTo" value="Page 1"/>Page one <br /> <input type="radio" id="goTo" value="Page 2"/>Page two <br /> etc... Also, if you're using XHTML, make sure to close your line break tags: <br /> and if you're not using XHTML, don't close your input tags.

Does your account HAVE a password?

Try opening cmd.exe and typing net localgroup Guests and see if the user appears. If so, then try typing net localgroup Administrators thatuser /add and then... net localgroup Guests thatuser /delete I think I have those commands right... someone correct me if I'm wrong. The bottom line is, Windows XP Home is sort of odd, and it handles users in strange ways. Avoid using control userpasswords2, as much as it may hurt, and instead use the normal control panel. It sucks, I know, but that's the way it was designed to be used.

No se si usted entiende ingles o no, pero nos ayudaria si pudiera presentar sus problemas en ingles, porque la mayoria de nosotros no sabemos espanol, y casi todos si sabe ingles. Desafortunadamente, yo no se como ayudarle en este momento. Si pudiera darnos mas informacion sobre su computadora, quizas alguien podria ayudarle. Bienvenido a MSFN, espero que aprende mucho!

Oh no! The poor penguins! Well, with all that water out there, maybe it bluescreened! Actually, there was probably a driver error. Or maybe one of the ports wasn't functioning properly. Either way, Major Aerr of the USCG says it's a very bad crash.

Try looking in %allusersprofile%\desktop and seeing if there's a shortcut there. If there is, delete it.

A good keyboard is important. Make sure it's comfortable, easy to type with, etc. You might want to look into getting one with extra features. For example, I have the Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard, and I really like it because of all the nice quick launch buttons.

Daaaannnnnggggg! You got lucky!

Someone actually makes some sort of bluetooth device that as soon as the receiver looses the singal from the transmitter, it locks the computer. I don't remember the site.

Heh.... yeah. Um, you're going to need something more than just frontpage to stuff like that. I'd suggest you learn HTML, CSS and maybe JavaScript before you attempt this. Then, you'll need to figure out some way to have a database with all the rankings and stuff, and use CGI or PHP or some other sort of server-side language to read/write to it. There's probably tutorials out there on the web.

Calm down, y'all! If he wants to use XP, let the poor man use XP! Use what you want to use; whatever works for you! I still say buy Vista and do a downgrade installation, as is permitted under the EULA, so that you can have Vista when you need it in the future.

It would be much quicker to just use startkey + L (startkey + E is explorer & startkey + R is run) Panarchy If you have a Microsoft keyboard, it's quicker yet to use IntelliType to remap a button to lock the computer. For example, my keyboard has a log off button. I don't log off very frequently, so I just set it to lock the workstation. Win+L is good if you don't have that option. In windows 2000, that doesn't exist, so I recommend making a shortcut as mentioned above and setting it's keyboard shortcut to be Ctrl+Alt+L and then placing it on the desktop. It's only one key more than Win+L, but less work than Ctrl+Alt+Del.

He says they're not tied to any laptop or PC, which would sound like they're not OEM. But good point, he needs to check. He could sell them each with a mouse to make it legal-ish. (not recommended)

Well, if you're selling the keys, and specify that they don't come with media, then yes it should be legal. Selling the CD would not be legal. You would need the COA though for it to be legal. No COA=not legal.
