the only thing I can think of is if the files already in the target folder are set to ready only. Then you will get an Access Denied Error when trying to copy over them. Or if you thumbdrive is set to read only.

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\start.dat SET Tdrive=%%i: copy c:\updates "%tdrive%\path\to\updates

you could just edit the MSI using ORCA from Microsoft. Instructions posted here.

OK, times not a factor, what is the cost limit? At what point are the bean counters going to laugh themselves to death?

@LLXX - could you elaborate a little more on that? Uploaded how/where? Directly to the printer? Froma website? Seen anything out there I can get info on? Thanks

if this is still related to the issues in your first post (here) rather than start a new thread continue the old thread. But when looking at the windows try looking for unique text in them also like the name of buttons or labels that are visible to AutoIT Window Info utility. That way they can be more selective of the windows it inputs to.

what are your time restrictions? Does it have to be done between midnight and 5am kind of time frame? The reason I suggested a second disk storage array to do the backup to is it will complete the backup faster, then you can back that backup to tape in a more leisurely fashion. You could use either permanent or removable disk storage as the intermediate point then go to tape.

Maxtor has 1tb and 1.5tb external drives. Lacie has 1tb and 2tb drives. Or have a local disk array, NAS or something, then back that up to tape and get a tape array.

I'm not an outlook expert by any stretch, but to my recollection you could create another address book and import them into that. Or create another user in windows and setup Outlook under that account then mail, address books, etc. will all be separate.

Even with not using IE I would still recommend a firewall in most instances. Run a machine in my environment without a firewall and you will be infected and have an unusable machine within 15 minutes. Students gotta love em.

google: windows xp mac theme there are a bunch

did you register comdlg32.ocx before running your app? regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx

ouch. 1gig? what model gateway is it? I haven't seen a GW in the last 4 yeas that was stuck at 1gb.

go to Gateway's website and enter your serial number on the support pages and you will get a semi custom page for your system along with links to specs.

the patches since SP2 have resource dll's in them that are labeled SP3. You can check the registry for the installed date of hotfixes they are listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3\ Last I heard SP3 was not being released until the end of next year.

change the computername line in the answer file to * and random anmes will be assigned.

looks like you are sending the entire text of the RUN button, don't if it is the default button just send ENTER if it's not either tab to it and press ENTER or send {ALT}R Be sure when you are sending the last ENTER that the button is actually default.

Sommit I'd never do at work! It's is not by choice. It is a requirement of the job. Makes life very interesting.

Ummm, yes all of the guests are either on wireless or wired networks. The guests bring their own machines. What we would like to do is let the guest print from their own computer in as minimally invasive a process as possible. The hotel machines already print to any number of networked printers in the facility. It's the guest we are after providing the service for.

I work for a hotel and they would like to provide a means for guests to print documents from their own computers. The majority of machines are Windows something, with a spattering of Macs that guests bring. The key being it needs to be a simple as possible. If at all possible without installing drivers on the guest machine. I was thinking, or maybe hoping, there was something like submit a document to a website and it either holds it until released or just prints it. Any suggestions appreciated.

through the group policy editor on the local machine (gpedit.msc) either set "deny logon locally" or "log on locally" as desired. WARNING: incorrectly setting these settings could prevent any local logon at all. Not responsible for you screwing up your system.

check both drives for autorun.inf files and delete them.

Unfortunately it depends upon your video card driver and if you have the hotkeys for that turned on. I turn it off for all the laptops I deploy, though I leave it on for the tablets. But it can be fun.

Safe mode won't solve the problem anyway. Security permissions are still in effect for folders under safe mode. He can take ownership and changes permissions in safe mode but safe mode itself will not help.
