if the time is only the issue, then in both vb script, and vb there is a timer() function that will return the numbers of seconds past midnight. Then just keep track of last check, and then just cycle through, and in vb script run an externall javascript call to its sleep fucntion. you do that by creating the javascript object. Then you just compare the timer to the current timer, and if greater then do something, else javascript sleep and try again later. This way the whole script is just vb, adn a little Javascript, and all you need to do is make sure that you have ie6 on the machine for it to run. Then still just put it into the startup folder, and I would still have a cmd file launch the vbscript file so that you can hide the window.

there are several ways to transfer files remotely. I hope that I am corect in saying that your computer was directly connected to the internet. If it was then he probably did something like "net use" that would open up a connection between his computer and yours. specificy net use k: \\computername\sharename\ /:USERusername password would be the code he used to mount your drive, then he could just copy files accross. This site http://www.ss64.com/nt/ lists about every command line function that you would use in xp, from devcon to netsh give it a look and you will see all the functionality that you would want. Then if you delve a little further, you can find command line tools for AD, and admins as well. Then a little further and you will find dll access in VB through a wrapper, and at that point you can run any command or function from command line. My recomendation is to start small pick simple tasks, and learn one command at a time. I also find it good to think through when you might use the command and then try it. have fun.

look for the excell sheet, just write a vb ssript that will open and send the commands to do the update, then put that script in the cron so that it updates the data every so often, lot easier than trying to integrate something else.

if you search the forums here you will find that Bâshrat the Sneaky has created a way of installing all the drivers you will probably ever need into one easy to install package. they will let windows find all the proper drivers without f6 etc. I have had good luck with them.

Well if I understand you corectly then I would put a task in theis startup folder that would do the launching. That isnt any big deal, sorry I didnt understand that from the beginning. tasklist > temp.list find /N /I "outlook" temp.list That code will find if the task is there. Just wrap that in a cmd file and add a sleep 15000, and make sure that you do an echo off at the top and cmdow @ /HID that way theprompt will be hidden, when the user logs off then it should kill the process. Also remember in the batch file to check for the return code from the find. that way you will know if it found the process or not. IF you dont get what this all says, then ask and I will write the whole script out, but I want you to experiment with the if and the loop. write if you have more questdions.

It is pretty easy to secure files and folders. when you right click on the folder, select properties, go to the the security tab, you will see only part of the security list, selct advanced then select a user and select edit, and you will see the complete list of files, in that list is change permission, if that is revoked you cant chagne the name, and then some other controls will control the read access to the folder etc.

Also, I would add to your disk the driver packs, since I started using them I havent had a problem with raid controllers.

Assuming that you are using XP, then this should work, barring any service changes, right click, select properties, select sharing, select permissions, then click add, then click advanced, that should take you to the select users or groups page, and you should just be able to hit "find now" which should fill the list in below. you should see a ANONYMOUS LOGON, select that name and select the NETWORK, and everyone then back out the the "Permission for Directory name" and select each person and grant full control to allow, and that should allow everyone access to the share.

Correct, that is a heafty task, and not something very easy. If you really want to accomplish this then here is a place to start http://www.vb123.com/toolshed/03_docs/outlookorders.htm the article is about processing email orders, but it will give you the gist on how to import the data, and how to parse it. Also, it would probably be a lot easier to just export the data manually, or you can modify the code that I have attached below. It was written by helen feddema and allow you to export the outlook data to an excell sheet. Then just write the vbscript to talk to excell, there are lots of tutorials on that on the web. Then the outlook to excel dump, just make that some cron so that the data dets exported every hour of somehting etc. Good Luck. code58.zip

When you raid 0 the driver the MBR get a little funky becuase the int 13 can actually get spanned, which can cause problems. I do NOT think this is your problem. But there are some ways to find out. First on that specifc motherboard, do you configure the raid array in the regular bios, or an extend bios. either way, I would first remove what could be the problem, the raid. Go back into the raid configuration utility and delete the strip, and take it back to just the jbod. Then install and see if you get any problem. If there is no problem, then repeat on the other hard drive. That way you know that both are good. Then I would recreate the raid and see what happens. But ona simpler note, it might be something as simple as going into to the bios and setting the boot order to be something like, eternal device, SCSI, or some setting like that. The raid controller could be external to the bios, and you need to tell it to pass the int 13 to whatever. Also check in the raid configuration, some of the onboard raid stuff that I have used, you have to create the stripe, make it active, and then mark it as bootable. Hopefull one of thoes wiill work. Also considering that it is 1 in the morning, I have a newborn, what are you doing up?

To start, first the only way to make you coputer secure is to never connect to the internet. If you want to lock it down there are a number of things. First you need to weigh in how much microsfit "functionality" are you willing to scrafice. Remember that for a worm to get into your computer you have to have an open port. from prompt run netstat -aon do this when no other programs are running and then mark down all the open ports. Should be like 135, 445, 1025, and maybe a few others. Then just google on each port how to close it and you will find directions on each port, and what keeps it open etc. They should solve almost any problems from worms. As for viruses useually you have to do something to get them. Like open an email etc. I personally use ClamAV, and have it scan on a regualar basis. That should prevent almost all viruses. Also make sure that you email get scanned. I have my own servers so I have all the emails scanned. There are a number of services that I like for that. I recommend mailmop.com THey have a nice service, and will remote pop any number of accounts that you want so you can have all in one email. Also will send confirmations, es a little annoying in the beginning, but you will NEVER get spam! For trojans etc get spybot and do regualr scans. That should take care of the OS infections. Use a firewall to prevent inside access to outsise. I perfer jetico.com their firewall is free, and very powerfull, almost on par with checkpoint. As for OS security, you can very easily use a tool like ntpasswd to disable all accounts except for one that has limmited security. That way not much can be done. Then you just need to prevent people from booting to a floppy etc. You can do that by password protecting the bios, and removing the CD-ROM, and Floppy drives, depending on how extreme you want to be. Preventing from USB isnt too big a problem, just prevent it in the BIOS. AS for people loading stuff, just make a group policy that dictates which are allowed programs, and everything else isn't Now people can run any other programs. Then you get to physical security. Make sure that you can lock the room, be creative, if you dont want someone being able to get into the bios from resetting it, unsolder the jumpers on the motherboard. This was meant to be in fun, but If you want to be specific, then ask one questions and you can get all the clarifications that you want. Have Fun!

right click on my computer go to manage, then left click on disk management right click on disk2 (probably in your case) click chnage drive letters and paths, and then make sure that you have set it up as a drive as well. XP does not like sharing of dynamic disks inside a standard disk. 2k and 2k3 handle it much better. Then just go through the regular sharing process. it should allow you access as a share the the drive / directory but not through the link, because that is resolved locally to the machine, not over the network. Another way, which I dont recommend. Is to make all you disks dynamic. Then share again and it will work.

code get compiled to machine code, wether it is c++, or c a real compiling will take it to machine code, both c and c++ allow you to resue objects, all you need to do is compile it then load it and you can access the functions from c, c++, Java etc. What do you want to do with the code, and I can tell you what you need to do with it.

at the top of the whatever, or autoexec.bat or script, type this SET PROMPT=$T$S$P$G That will show something like this 20:58:39.45 C:\Profiles\Administrator> That gets refreshed every time you get a new line etc.

do you mean like CTRL-ALT-H or do you mean like an actual shortcut key on the physical keyboard. If it is the first method, then I would just create a shortcut to IE, edit it and attach http://www.hotmail.com/??? on the end so that when you hit CTRL-ALT-H it would open that link. Also where the ??? mark is you could view the source of the page, and then check to see how they pass the login information and then tag the whole string on the end and then when you hit the shortcut keys it would log you in and everything. Ask if you have more questions.

yes, we do know why this is being caused. As I said it doesnt like exe's. It is a default control, just like in office, see here http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistan...0760431033.aspx for the time being you just have to live with it. Also if you are in an active directory environment it will allow it becuase you can create a trusted zone, then exe come from a trusted source, and hence are good. For outlook here is how to remove the block There is probably some similar key for MSN messenger, you just need to look for it. Good luck.

Our company is also under the idea "if it isnt broken dont ix it" and to a point that is correct. We have a very serious firewall, and complete email monitoring etc. We havent had a virus etc in over a year. Why update to new security etc, when it isnt a problem for us.

Sorry about that, I forgot that you were running htat from command line. That is the commands for accessing the API directly, you would actually need to compile it as a VB Object. To change it from command line use this page http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programmin...Q_20696851.html then use this page http://www.ericphelps.com/batch/userin/ to show you how to make the wallpaper selection prompt you. Hope this works more to your liking. Sorry again. Write back if you have problems, and I will walk you through on how to modify it.

The article is over at the reg. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/08/sp..._faces_slammer/ I just wanted to say I think that this is wrong. People get less time for criminal assult. heck, second degree murder is only 10 to 20 years. Do we as a society really think that spam is even in the same category as murder / rape / assult. Just thought you all should check to make sure you arent a zombie pc.

why? There are all kinds or compilers so you should just be able to compile it, and call it as needed.

What is the order of installation of the OS. Windows really likes to control the MBR. http://www.littlewhitedog.com/content-52.html this page will help you install both so they boot. I hope this helps. I translated it back, I hope you get the drift. Was die Reihenfolge der Installation von den Os ist. Fenster kontrollieren gern wirklich der MBR. Http://www.littlewhitedog.com/content-52.html diese Seite wird Ihnen helfen, beide so sie zu installieren, starten. Ich hoffe, dass dies hilft.

you english is fine. You need to use devcon. it is the command line device manager. I have attached it to this post. Just do a search and you will see how to use devcon. GoodLuck. devcon.exe

be carefull here. If the request is coming from system security then you will have to use the cd, and the hard drive copy wont work. so make sure that you set the source like mentioned above.

You said you would try, but I think that I have an elegant solution. XYNTService is a program that lets you turn any exe /bat /java file into a Windows Service. It also has monitoring built in so that if the process stops, it will restart it. It also has an option for interaction, so that you can set it off, and then it is completely hidden. I use it to start java services, and it works wonderfully.( it is free.) http://www.codeproject.com/system/xyntservice.asp http://mysite.verizon.net/XiangYangL/XYNTService.htm

Have you midified any of your services. Sometime a change in service will affect the modem. Also have you checked system properties to see if there is a problem with your modme. What diag have you done.
