While we wait for TC... Are you using the individual packs? What combination of packs are you using? I will recreate that scenario myself to see what happens.

I really like that site. Great news and funny writing. Sorry you aren't getting any help with this

Has anyone seen/tried this? Forum and site searches came up empty, but at version 3.0b it seems like something that would have hit this board before. Unless this is one of those sneaky marketing maneuvers... Where I found it: http://www.lifehacker.com/software/virtual...dows-210954.php VMWare's page: http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/converter/

I know nothing about macs, but happened upon this article which may help you.

This topic is debated endlessly. It really comes down to what YOU want. The jobs/employers that you like want certs? Well then there you go. Ask people who do want you want to do, where you want to do it. Read employer's requirements in job opening ads. Many people will tell you that certs, education or experience don't matter as long as you have the people skills. Don't forget to have that tool in your kit!

Has anyone tried Blink or Strata Guard? This page lists more stuff, but I haven't tried them.

The credit goes to HFSLIP and the MSFN Codec Pack guys. I just separate and zip stuff, but thanks I haven't had that problem. What media player do you use? I am thinking Tomcat76 might have to weigh in on this one...

Looks like the actual release... /me lights a candle for Tomcat76

LOL! Yeah, a blank password will certainly cause sharing problems.

Windows already does this. Open Computer Management by either right-clicking on My Computer or finding it under StartMenu/Administrative Tools. On the tree, you will find "Shared Folders" with three subfolders that tell you a lot about your shares.

Ensure that none of those other entries have DENY checked. Deny overrides Allow. Here are some more things to try: Check the Event Viewer Reset that user's password Check the RSoP Check local policies Ensure that TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service is running Do a "gpupdate /force" on both machines Try rebooting

Check your NTFS permissions (the Security tab). They are separate from the sharing permissions. Do you admin the network? If not, maybe ask the admin if some new policies have been applied.

Hey, Kiki So, this works for FF (you) and Opera (me), but not IE? What version of IE do you use? I would test, but don't have IE.

Thanks, pS-!

All three options work for me.

Neat stuff. What are you actually going to release? Instructions for doing this, a software download or something else?

@pS-:Will you post a link to the orange wallpaper you used? I couldn't find a copy based on the info you provided (blue/hombre). Thanks!

Welcome!

I don't think very many people here are doing it that way.

Your ideas are great and I think we are mostly on the same page. To me, "unattended tweaks" are ones such as these: ; don't display the Welcome Screen on first account startup [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer] "NoWelcomeScreen"=dword:00000001 ; Recognize hard drives greater than 137Gig [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters\] "EnableBigLba"=dword:00000001 ;Set information to appear above name/password fields in logon prompt ;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]which are useful from an administrator's perspective because they add capability or make setup/boot/login faster. Whereas I think "Windows Tips & Tweaks" is more about custom desktop stuff like: ;Wrap Icon Titles [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "IconTitleWrap"="1" ;Display High Color Icons [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "Shell Icon BPP"="32" I am not a reg tweak authority and my thoughts on this may not line up with the rest of the reg tweaking folks. You seem to be the new champion here I'd like to see more reg tweakers chime in with their thoughts on what changes they would like to see, if any.

As do I, but Windows cannot install for me whether or not I use this thread's driver method.Not sure what the problem is. Maybe my VMWare installation has a problem?

That is awesome! So why doesn't this work for me? Here is my experience: 1) When I try to build Win2K with the LSI Logic device (as in your screenies), VMWare explicitly warns me that the driver will not work with Win2k. 2) I tried it anyway using the driver method in this thread. I had the same driver as you posted previously as well as the drivers from the LSI Logic site all in STORAGE with the corrected storage.ini. Windows was unable to install because it couldn't access the storage device. The LSI Logic driver I used from their site was not the 1020/1030 driver that you mention but that shouldn't matter as the stock VMWare driver appears to work for you anyway. I don't actually need this for myself; I just wanted to help test the method by running it through VMWare

@iTwins: Yeah, I tried that one already. That is the BusLogic driver, not the LSI Logic one. I also tried drivers from the LSI Logic site just for giggles. No luck.

Ah, a different page. Hopefully people read both, then.
