  1. With the recent excitement of WS2008 i thought to install a second installation on another test machine. Only problem is that it has 256MB of ram so installation doesnt let me continue. Is there a way around this? I know it may not be performing well etc but just like to begin installing it? Thanks
  2. Currently we have to dial two VPN sessions (one at a time) where the first session allows the user to check emails (after checking they disconnect) and the second session allows them to connect to a 3rd party software telnet session (which they have to connect to using the second VPN connection). Is there anyway around this where i can have them dial one session but have access to both application (Emails and 3rd party software)? Thanks
  3. Probably keep a box for testing and playing purposes but definately not until after SP1 as a few many times ive upgraded to MS software and i ended up sorting out bugs more than anything else
  4. I have a temp file in the temp directory for WS2003. Its about 5GB and i have to manually delete it every so often - anyway i can trace back to where this temp file is coming from? 2. i have a help file with a chm extension. If i create a shortcut or run it from a network drive it doesnt run at all but if copied locally its runs as normal anyway around this? Thanks
  5. Ok but anyone know of another way as i dont fancy installing tweak ui on a few PCs just for this reason? i.e. reg trick thanks
  6. Im trying to create a short cut to a folder on my harddrive but i want it to be available on the left side of the save dialog box (highlighted in blue)- see the image for a better clarification. Anyone know how to? Thanks in advance
  7. Hello All 1. I use the runas command to run IE as a different user in XP (i.e. sometimes limited for normal browsing and sometimes admin for installation of ActiveX controls etc) how can i do this in Vista as currently using the same method with XP comes back with "Runas not supported" 2. It seems theres no Windows Messenger installed for Vista. Is there a Vista version available or is it now MSN (dont really like MSN though). 3. When accessing the local settings folder (C:\users\%username%\local settings) it comes back with "access is denied" - why have MS done this and is there a way around to view it? 4. I turned off UAC - it doesnt seem to make a huge difference grom what i expected so can someone explain what UAC is?
  8. Is it possible to manage a Windows Vista policy from a Windows Server 2003 edition? if yes how? Thanks
  9. Where can i find the "runonce" key (within the registry) on Windows 2000 so when a NEW user logs in it will execute a commnad once and then delete itself? a bit like XP and user default profile but 2000 doesnt seem to have the option to load the default user hive. Thanks
  10. Within Word 2003, if you select File > Properties, you will see all metadata i.e. the user who created the file, how long theyve been amending it, when it was created etc etc. Is there anyway to clean that so nothing appears? Bit like if you download a MS document it never has any data. Thanks
  11. I had a similar problem the only way i resolved it was to rename the folder both on workstation and server then relogon again letting the my documents folder be recreated. When it was recreated i copied the documents from the renamed folder into the correct folder - just an idea
  12. Domain controller would mean any policy would also be applied to the domain controller (i.e. if you had a disclaimer this would also show when accessing the domain controller account) whereas if it was applied to an OU it would only effect those accounts within the OU and not the domain controller.
  13. Thanks for those links!! I probably want to spend minimum as possible for good suff but lets say around £1500 - £2000. I want it to be future proof so dont want to upgrade too soon either. I do programming mainly but i think making a really good system maybe worth while. Gaming is on odd ocassions. Thanks
  14. Im considering to build a dual core AMD 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate system. Just wanted your lot advice if this is something i should/shouldn't do and what hardware you would recommend (best and cheapest). Any Uk websites appreciated as ill have to pay tax if in any other country. Any feedback is welcome. Many thanks
