And I will no longer see references to it, for example "right click > new > compressed zip folder"?
Yup, the reg entries and the right click item will be gone.

You have to un-register the ZIPFLDR dll like this:
regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll

Hey, if I buy a retail copy of Vista the license for use belongs to me, not the hardware.
Moving and upgrading should be allowed as long as only 1 working copy of the OS exists.
I'm sure under UK consumer law these restrictions will not be legally enforcable.

My apologies, I was thinking of this:
The DLT Client service monitors activity on NTFS volumes and stores maintenance information in a file called Tracking.log, which is located in a hidden folder called System Volume Information at the root of each volume. This folder is protected by permissions that allow only the system to have access to it. The folder is also used by other Windows services, such as Indexing Service.0 -
Oh dear that's not a good idea.
The "System Volume Information" folder also holds the hidden NTFS journal file.
You seriously don't want to mess with that!

I got big problems after this patch.
Explorer hangs using 99% of CPU whenever I try to use it, especially when expanding folders.
I can't un-install 'cos I did a stupid thing. I cleared out all backups made by the patches.
Yes I know, very silly.
The work around did not help. So i'm stuffed until the MS patch-to-fix-a-patch arrives.

what is the starwind service? what perpose does it serve?
It allows Hard Drives and CD/DVD drives to be used remotely.
The big difference is that the remote machine can WRITE to a CD/DVD-RW drive in another machine.
Normal windows sharing only allows reading from CD/DVD drives.
These are the guys that make the software : http://www.rocketdivision.com/

Nero has an option to burn to an 'Image Recorder' instead of a physical CD/DVD writer.
It can create an .ISO or .NRG image file.
Perhaps that will do the trick?

You can't get those in date order because you have DDMMYYYY format.
You need to have YYYYMMDD format to get them sorted in date order.
Try something like this to do the renames: http://www.mediachance.com/free/renamer.htm

No disrespect to markavonsoftware but you guys be carefull with your email addresses.
Geocities is currently turning into a spammer haven. LOTS of spamvertised sites hosted there.
Know live email addresses are worth extra when being sold on......

In the olden days when floppies were the main storage media they got used a lot.
To increase storage and enable disk-2-disk copies there were normally 2 floppy drives installed.
These were always A: and B:.
It's a hang over from those days that these 2 drive letters are always reserved for floppy drives.

I don't think you can do that.
Whenever a file is opened it gets copied into memory of the local machine to be worked on.
It's not possible to tell the difference between 'OPEN' and 'COPY' functions.
Even the permissions lump 'READ and EXECUTE' together so ya can't do it that way either.

Yes it is possible to write to a CD/DVD writer over a network.
You need an iSCSI Target software like StarWind from http://www.rocketdivision.com/
This runs on the machine with the CD/DVD drive to share it over the network.
Then you connect to the remote iSCSI share with an iSCSI Initiator.
You can use StarPort from http://www.rocketdivision.com/ .
There is also a free iSCSI Initiator from Microsoft here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en
The drive then appears as a local drive letter on the Initiator machine.
It can be used just like any local CD/DVD drive. I have done this a number of times without a problem.
You need to make sure there is enough network bandwidth to sustain a CD/DVD writing session!

I been playing with some software from http://www.rocketdivision.com/.
They do an iSCSI target (server) call StarWind, and an iSCSI initiator (client) call StarPort.
It's really cool! The client machine will see any shared drive just as a local drive.
I have successfully shared out a DVD-Writer on one machine and used Nero to burn a DVD from another machine.
Yep that's right. I burnt and DVD over the network! Cool eh?
It may have limited uses for the home user but this an interesting network technology all the same.
Plus you need at least 100Mb network or Gigabit (like me).
Microsoft do a free iSCSI initiator (currently version 2.0) but not an iSCSI target.
Anyone else tried something like this?
Oh yeah nearly forgot!
It can be used to share out ISO or MDS images file as a CD/DVD-rom drive.
Plus you can create ram drives to be shared aswell.

It's OK to set "VMware Authorization Service" to Manual start.
Disable "VMware DHCP Service" and "VMware NAT Service" if you are only using bridged networking.

I got the same problem with the 71.84 and 71.89 drivers.
Tried 2.02 WDM drivers from NVIDIA and the 3.08 WDM drivers from the MSI site.
Always the same result.
VGA card is an MSI FX5600 256MB (VIVO)
OS is XP Pro/SP2
Anybody got any ideas?

In this hive:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
Set:
SourcePath = X:\
and
ServicePackSourcePath = X:\
Where 'X' is the drive letter of your CD/DVD drive that you want to use.
EDIT: Added this to help you:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup]
"SourcePath"="X:\\"
"ServicePackSourcePath"="X:\\"0 -

Windows Zip Functionality

Yeah sorry should have mentioned that.
You need to immediately assign the .ZIP extention to 7ZIP (or alternate) to stop it re-registering that DLL.
