No. jaclaz

I wonder if that is the actual reason why peoples buy SUV's en masse. to use them as normal city cars. jaclaz

I always time my readings so that they are within 3:59 , there are reasons. jaclaz

I think we can make an exception for "stupid peoples", as it better conveys the incredible amount of them being around (and growing). In Italy we have a saying that would roughly translate to "the mother of imbeciles is always pregnant". jaclaz

I see, a trailing "s" was missing. It does smell a lot like "fishy" anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if *any* software is included without credits or details on it being not freeware/with license included in the paid price. jaclaz

So you have "right" written inside something shaped as an arrow pointing left, etc. Compare with the new Mini rear blinkers : https://jalopnik.com/congratulations-mini-you-made-the-stupidest-turn-sign-1847727385 jaclaz

Out of curiosity, are you sure it is skinpack.com? Right now it seems like one of those crappy sites with a bunch of pointless links to ads links. jaclaz

No,it won't work anyway, my time machine works quite fine but of course you cannot take anything ferromagnetic with you due to the nature of the fields used whenever proto-tunnelling warps are involved . Maybe, in the future the approach may become useful to source good ol' SSD's ... jaclaz

Well, I would say that there is a not-so-fine line between the management of a hobby internet forum and a production floor. I obviously belong to another (past ) era but in my day[1] production ruled over anything else, and managers (at the time there actually existed "real" managers) would have kicked asses left and right (and top and bottom) if someone caused a three hours stop, let alone if it was a recurring issue. Though of course the IT department always was an exception, btw one of the reasons why I am somehow familiar with PC's is because historically the IT guys have been " a bunch of mindless jerks (who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes)". jaclaz [1] https://tinyapps.org/blog/200702250700_why_in_my_day.html

It would have been EXTREMELY difficult to discuss the matter on a board hosted on an expired domain. Nuno forgot/missed a renewal deadline by one day or two. Everything is back to "normal". jaclaz

Good. jaclaz

I remembered it wrongly, 2K has WFP allright: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/description-of-the-windows-file-protection-feature-db28f515-6512-63d1-6178-982ed2022ffb Anyway, it can be disabled: https://www.mdgx.com/2k1.htm#DFP but there was another way by Fred De Vorck, and yet another one making use of an empty SFCFILES.DLL https://web.archive.org/web/20110929040602/http://www.vorck.com/windows/software.html https://web.archive.org/web/20110717232512/http://www.vorck.com/windows/data/sfcfiles.zip jaclaz

Hmmm. Protected by what exactly? WFP was introduced in XP, AFAICR, Win2k should be free from that. <- Edit: Brain fart, disregard. Maybe you are having some kind of (NTFS) ACL permissions, if I were you I would first try the *whatever* you are trying to do on an install on FAT32. Only for the record, my idea of "specific" is a little more narrow than "Internet Explorer files in Win 2K", in some cases (but shouldn't be yours) it is possible to replace file contents by using direct disk access. jaclaz

You talkin' to me? Yes , it is more than 20 years that I boot systems and replace their files (though not professionally, only as a hobby). But there are good system files and bad system files, so it all depends, if you need advice/help you will need to be specific. jaclaz

Good. jaclaz

I suspect that if he specifies Chelsea he will get a Russian flag instead ... @FranceBB ... and all this time I thought you were an AirBnB superhost jaclaz

For the Registry association (has to be tested) probably something *like* cmd /c pause | ... might work, you first open a command prompt, and when already in it you inject via pipe the pause to the pgp.exe. jaclaz

@Trip I already tested specifically the mentioned program and nothing is parsed after the gpg --verify <filename> command, hence the workaround via pipe. jaclaz

It is strange. Anything after the gpg command is ignored, it ignores even redirection to a file. A way out is: cmd.exe /k gpg --verify %1 but you will have to close the command window with the mouse on the right top cross button or type exit on command line (which becomes without prompt). This is ugly but it works like your current one: pause | cmd.exe /k gpg --verify %1 only you won't have the Press any key prompt, still by pressing any key the cmd window will close. This: @echo off prompt Press any key to continue ...&&pause | cmd.exe /k gpg --verify %1 should emulate your current behaviour. jaclaz

Get a decently old version of netscan (freeware), *like*: https://web.archive.org/web/20110527051122/http://www.softperfect.com/download/freeware/netscan.exe or a similar tool, identify the devices connected to your network, find the duplicate. There are basically two ways to setup IP addresses the good/ol' one (static IP addresses manually assigned to devices) and the new, modern, smart one (using a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the connected devices). The first one works nicely in small networks as long as there is someone keeping the devices correctly settled. The second works nicely most of the time and is actually more or less *needed* for Wi-Fi, BUT (since it costs nothing) every single stupid device has usually a DHCP server so it is not so uncommon that two DHCP servers are active at the same time, potentially creating conflicts depending on when/which device is switched on or that some user decides to set a static IP manually. You need to understand, as Tripredacus said, how the network is setup and act depending on what you find, no way to know what exactly may be the problem without knowing exactly how your network is setup/which devices are connected to it (and how they are configured), for small networks (like I believe it is your home/family one) it is easy to check the settings of each device manually. jaclaz

https://web.archive.org/web/20051227075035/http://wittswallpapers.com/Oldies/displayset.zip This is actually the Wayback Machine of a link originally posted by cannie. jaclaz

The winnt.exe /ox was for NT, does it work on 2k also? on 2K .iso there is a \bootdisk directory that contains the 4 floppy images and the makeboot and makebt32 executables (to create the floppies). jaclaz

I know , though what I meant was more that a Wayback Machine link should be more "reliable" (in the sense of "safer") than *someone's* blog that points to *some* file hosted on mega.nz or yadi.sk (no offence whatever intended for the good guy(s) that managed to keep the file available, but better be safe than sorry as a general rule ). jaclaz

Yep. Should be available (it depends on version) also via Wayback Machine: https://msfn.org/board/topic/175965-windows-2000-wireless/ http://web.archive.org/web/20071010213632/http://www.boingo.com/downloads/BW1201/boingoinstaller.exe jaclaz
