Are you owner of the files, are the files in use?

I'm of the opinion the encryption algorithms should be lenghty, slow and ineficient with zero possibilities of optimization. That way increasing the bit size of the password hashes would suffice. Newayz, with reference to the windows, anything above 8 characters (of course the more the merrier) is good. Take a look here http://www.securityhorizon.com/security_wh...ved/lanman.html

Very simple; First create a share on a dedicated file server (eg \\fileserver1\profiles$) then in the user properties, under the profile tab, in the profile path/directory specify \\fileserver1\profiles$\%username% This does basically this; When a user logs on it copies \\fileserver1\profiles$\%username% into the 'Documents and Settings' directory. Then at logoff the significant changes to folder 'Documents and Settings\%username%' are replicated to \\fileserver1\profiles$\%username% (temporary internet files etc not being considered signifaicant here) NOTE: I'm not sure how this works if the user account has been created and used before so proceed with caution if converting local to roaming profiles. REF: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...bc_dsm_ivvs.asp TIP: You should also look into Redirecting My Documents as 'heavy' My Document folders are going to take a toll on your bandwidth if using roaming profiles. Although a redirected My Documents is made available offline, the synchronization takes place at logoff which I've found to be more efficient.

Only scenario I can think of is an onboard soundcard. You'll need to re-install the drivers in any event. Right click My Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager. The devices marked with a yellow exclamation mark represent malfunctioning hardware (inclusive of hardware that lacks drivers)

Try "SCHTASKS', it seems to be AT's replacement. Seems to be alot more flexible as well.

Run 'AT /?' in a DOS window, that should have what you're looking for. There was another command also, can't remember right now. Platform: WinXP

IMO, you're better off with a firewall alone than an AV alone. If you're very perceptive you should be able to discover a virus by what it does, including send outgoing connection requests.

If it is you did a complete re-install then the registry entries for these programs would be non existant. Your best bet is to salvage whatever data you can from the old Program Files directory, and re-install those apps.

Goto "Start -> Run -> 'RunDLL32.EXE hnetwiz.dll,HomeNetWizardRunDll'" Use that wizard to configure your home network. Make sure all the PCs on the network are on the same Workgroup. Platform: WinXP

"Start -> Run -> 'gpedit.msc' -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> System Restore -> Turn off System Restore -> Set to 'Not Configured'" Maybe "security admin" enabled it just to be on the safe side. If you change the configuration in group policy, "security admin" may very well change it back when it is run.

I might not be able to help here, but you can if you specify what language you want to do it in.

Stupid me, didn't take the forum section into account, sry

Or you can right click the icons as they are in the Control Panel and 'Create Shortcut'

Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components -> uncheck Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration REF: http://win2k3.msfn.org/ie.htm

Through Group Policies, you can start by modifying the 'Default Domain Controllers Policy' in the 'Domain Controllers' OU in Active Directory.

I've always been a little puzzled on this topic. The fact that I have to pay for a hostname would suggest that there's some sort of main internet DNS server out there. I'm not reffering to the DNS server at my ISP. What happens when I query my ISPs DNS for a host not in it's database. Does it query another DNS Server for the info? If so which server? The most plausible situation I could come up with is that there is a ring of somewhat popular ISPs (or maybe only one) that 'sell' the internet to the world. If I set up a DNS Server on my own PC, which company do I have to talk to about getting it recognised. Wouldn't I be able to add as many hostnames a I want, thereby creating my own variation of the internet (which is basically an intranet). Sorry for the craziness, but these are questions (somewhat rhetorical) that have bothered me for quite a while, and if my analysis is correct, there should be a main dns server(s) out there. What happens if these server(s) come under terrorist attack?

Yeah, basically I'm asking; What vbBullitien is to Message Boards, _________ is to Web Sites? http://plone.org/ is an actual demonstration of this. I'm thinking of doing the initial hosting locally, whether linux or windows.

So I was thinking it's about time I started a website. It'll be a nice experience and a nice addition to me resume. Of course I don't want to go and reinvent the wheel so I'm looking for some recommendations for good content management software. I've seen two that I'm interested in so far http://www.aspapp.com/ http://plone.org/ Any Suggestions? B)

Care to share the knowledge.

Check your GPOs (rsop.msc on client machines) and logon scripts. If you've got DCs then no one should be logging into a local account. You should also look into changing all the local admin passwords (use compmgmt.msc and connect to the client PCs) You can also set the name of the local admin account via GPOs (I'm on XP SP2, not sure about 2K Serv) "Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> Accounts: Rename administrator account, though this solution does not help figure out the cause of the problem.

Whats IE Seriously tough, I'd say my main reason for using firefox is it's flexibility (extentions etc). IE is pretty good, it just has the security drawback of being the most targetted. Vote: Firefox

Machine specific; Change "(Default)" here "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\DefaultIcon" Or you could create a shortcut linking to the batch and change the icon of that shortcut via its properties. I don't think you can change the icon of an individual batch file.

'%SystemRoot%\system32' may not be part of the environment variable 'Path'. To fix 'Right Click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables ->Select 'Path' in System Variables -> Edit -> prefix Variable Value with "%SystemRoot%\system32;" if it's not already there.

Show me a credible source that proves this... Let's start at home http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35308 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35145 Some excellent work done by 'Wai_Wai', links to a few reviews A small demonstration; Just got my hands on a small Norton detected file an uploaded to Yahoo (uses Norton 2005) as an email attachment, the file was detected so the upload was denied. Turns out the file was packed with UPX. Downloaded and ran 'upx -d infected.exe' then 'upx --best infected.exe' (recompressed). Uploaded again to Yahoo, undetected. Very flawed demonstration, but the results are ridiculous.

A repair should do some help.
