Perhaps ,that's what you were searching but i didn't found it there.

The firefox profile foldername is indeed random but you can find its name if you parse the file "profiles.ini" in "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Firefox". Not sure if this will help.

Under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console There are sub keys corresponding to the settings of each different ways you launched the console. If you just want to reset all the console with the default settings then removing the sub keys should solve the problem.

The settings are stored there (at least for older windows): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console

That's what i though. Asus has a better support for their motherboards.

I don't have a 2000 to try but i was remembering doing it like this. So he will need to have 2 reg files one (the original desktop_settings.reg) and the second edited to have the wallpaper set when noone is loggeg on. He'll need to add two commands runonce : - one for the system profile - the second to add a reg entry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" with a value named desktop_settings which will launch a batch %systemroot%\desktop_settings.cmd like this: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "desktop_settings"="%systemroot%\\desktop_settings.cmd" desktop_settings.cmd: regedit /s %systemdrive%\desktop_settings.reg

Here it is : ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/driver2/sata_driverdisk/abitsata_v133.exe. that's the 32bits drivers for xp/2003 but did you tried it ? Or you might try the Asus drivers for A8N-sli deluxe for vista x64 they should work. Found the xp64 drivers from abit: ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/drivers/64bit_drivers/sil3114/v100_20031115.exe

Windows 7 is full off hardlinks , junctions, symbolic links and in this case it is probably because there is a junction above.

Don't do your step 5 and after as ntuser.Dat might contain the login hardcoded: 5 - export this registry branch as for desktop_settings.reg: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop 6 - logofff 7 - copy your files to $oem$ 8 - edit with notepad the file desktop_settings.reg and replace "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\" with "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\" and save 9 - create a runonce using the tutorial there 10 - The needed command will be something like this depending on where you copy the .reg: regedit /s %systemdrive%\desktop_settings.reg You should have what you wanted with this. Also if you need to edit anything in ntuser.dat use regedit and regedt32.

Did you check your motherboard manufacturer web site ?

You could do it with 2003 using remote control on his session but you can't in XP without a third party tools that will slow down the remote control.

I was doing some tests on ntfs hardlinks and run chkdsk and chkdsk /f and chkdsk /R on a mounted partition not the C: but a copy of it (i did those tests in a VM and i copied the virtual drive containing C: partition): - chkdsk without option doesn't report the same numbers than a chkdsk /f and chkdsk /r. chkdsk: 41940991 KB total disk space. 9598216 KB in 44358 files. 36116 KB in 13546 indexes. 0 KB in bad sectors. 128503 KB in use by the system. 65536 KB occupied by the log file. 32178156 KB available on disk. 4096 bytes in each allocation unit. 10485247 total allocation units on disk. 8044539 allocation units available on disk. chkdsk /f run right after: 41940991 KB total disk space. 7927048 KB in 44357 files. 36116 KB in 13546 indexes. 0 KB in bad sectors. 128499 KB in use by the system. 65536 KB occupied by the log file. 33849328 KB available on disk. 4096 bytes in each allocation unit. 10485247 total allocation units on disk. 8462332 allocation units available on disk. chkdsk /r run right after: 41940991 KB total disk space. 7927056 KB in 44359 files. 36116 KB in 13547 indexes. 0 KB in bad sectors. 128499 KB in use by the system. 65536 KB occupied by the log file. 33849320 KB available on disk. 4096 bytes in each allocation unit. 10485247 total allocation units on disk. 8462330 allocation units available on disk. and a last chkdsk: 41940991 KB total disk space. 9598228 KB in 44361 files. 36116 KB in 13547 indexes. 0 KB in bad sectors. 128499 KB in use by the system. 65536 KB occupied by the log file. 32178148 KB available on disk. 4096 bytes in each allocation unit. 10485247 total allocation units on disk. 8044537 allocation units available on disk. The reporting of the number of files is almost always the same and i can understand that some process (like indexing) is making in background one or two files between each chkdsk but i have no explaination for the available space with more than 1GB of more free space reported when using chkdsk /f or /r. Anyone have an idea ? By the way of is windows 2008 R2 SP1 Reason for edit: added OS

Check the eventlogs and most likely you'll find memory error 2020 or 2019 that are hard to fix as most of the time it comes from a driver not realeasing correctly the memory it use. See the msdn blog for this.

$ mean end of line when used with findstr.

Great to hear this because i was about to give up doing it with a batch.

Some app like java app need environment variables to be set before they are launched. A very dirty way to do it would be something like this: set wsh=createobject("wscript.shell") wsh.run ("cmd /c set APPDATA=N:/data/ & Start " & chr(34) & "Test" & chr(34) & "N:\Test.jar" & chr(34),0, true) set wsh=

Did you tried to ping google ? ping www.google.com if it works, try resetting your internet settings like proxy if you need one. If it doesn't work try a ping of its ip: ping 209.85.147.106 if it works then you have a dns problem. If it doesn't work either try ping your dhcp server taken from ipconfig /all. If the last one is the only one to work then you didn't configure correctly your router and it doesn't send to the computer with dhcp the right settings. Also if you're using the same computer to test wired and wireless network try disabling the lan network connection before connecting to internet.

Here is your answer about chicago being in the inf: http://www.osronline.com/ddkx/install/inf-format_2fzm.htm

I tried adding the ip in the host file and i still couldn't access. But it is solved now.

Since about 1h, i can't resolve www.msfn.org or access the website from my home connection. I had no problem connecting using a proxy so the problem doesn't seem to come from my home connection.

Ok so there is nothing wrong with reg and the output of reg isn't one creating the strange char. Then you could try this: REG QUERY "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" /S >%temp%\tmp_reg_conn.txt findstr \\Connection$ %temp%\tmp_reg_conn.txt >%temp%\tmp_net_conn.txt FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN (%temp%\tmp_net_conn.txt) DO (REG ADD "%%i" /V ShowIcon /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /F) pause del /q %temp%\tmp_net_conn.txt del /q %temp%\tmp_reg_conn.txt If this still doesn't work then attach the two tmp files in your next post as it might help to resolve the problem. Also to be sure the board doesn't mess the syntax i attached the file.

You might have got a strange reg.exe it should be "5.1.2600.5512" with xp sp3. Could you check it ? Also try REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} /S >c:\regpb.txt and attach the resulting regpb.txt.

You have a strange character before the HKey on the Reg add line. Could your try adding this following line before the "for" line ? chcp 437

Both scripts should at least add the Dword ShowIcon value under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{161FABAC-493B-442F-B74F-FE36B1C73E3B}\Connection" and set to 1. Most likely, the board added trailing spaces or Carriage return and you need to fix your batch. I added a batch that will do what you need. All credit goes to Yzöwl as i only removed some part of the first script to allow easy debugging and it will work even if your connection name doesn't match the search string.

That's a realtek setting that allow or not sound to come out of the speaker when headphone are connected. You need to install the realtek drivers.
