I figure it out... http://www.mydigitallife.info/2010/01/28/revert-and-change-to-xp-classic-logon-screen-on-windows-7-or-vista/

With Windows 7, instead of the domain login screen that we had with XP, we now have the screen where you can pick which user you want to login as, or choose "Other". Is there anyway to get back the simple username/password screen?

I don't have a config file, I'm just commenting on Robocopy's instruction document. Don't you think it's strange that it says by default it retries 1 million times on failed copies? With a 30 second default wait time between retries, it would take 347 days just with one file that fails to copy. Maybe someone at Microsoft had a sense of humor and said "hey, let's put in the documentation that the default retries on failed copies will be 1 million and see if anyone notices!"

"/R:n :: number of Retries on failed copies: default 1 million." Is it really 1 million with a 30 second wait before retry by default? That would be insane! One problem with a file that can't be copied and it would take forever to complete! Is this correct?

In the Users Rights Assignment, they are either given to a user or group, or not given. They cannot be enabled, disabled, or not set (like some security options can be). A user either has the assignment or does not have it. Therefore, if you had to be assigned that right first, then you would never be able to enabled it. I'm guessing all the Users Rights Assignments listed are part of the token, whether disabled or enabled. Otherwise I don't think you would ever be able to enable a Users Rights Assignment.

Ok, what about the code at the bottom of this link? This uses a function call AdjustTokenPrivileges(). This function seems to change the rights within the token and I'm guessing (the key word being 'guessing') without needing to log back in as the user. Here's my guess, I could use this function to give the right "Act as part of the operating system." From what I understand (and correct me if I'm wrong), this right gives complete control over the OS. Any thoughts on this idea? http://www.tenouk.com/ModuleI2.html (code is at bottom of page)

Thanks for the info!

I have a VB program that will change a specific user from a Power User to an Administrator so our support people can make necessary changes. The only problem is, the person needs to log off and back in for the change to take affect. I notice this too if the user is in the Admin group and I remove the user from that group, add them to power users. I have to log off for the change to take affect and that's using Microsofts GUI. I tried stopping and relaunching explorer.exe, but that didn't work. Any ideas how I can make the change take affect without logging off and back on? Thanks!

We are currently using Novell with Zenworks and we use Novell's Application Launcher. The Application Launcher puts an icon on your workstation desktop called "Novell Applications" and if you double click it, all your applications are inside (for us, mostly network applications). The nice thing is that you don't have a ton of icons cluttering your desktop. You can also put application links on the desktop, but applications that are not often used can be placed under the Novell Applications icon. Is there a way to do this in Windows using AD? I know Windows has roaming profiles, but not sure if you can accomplish the same thing. We have several Windows 2003 server. Thanks!
