*bump* No way to easily uninstall Office 2007 updates without going to Add/Remove? :(

At my work we're in the middle of migrating a few hundred users from Groupwise to Outlook 2007. The one snag we've run into is that one of the updates (KB946983) causes the email profile configuration to fail. When we ran into a Windows update that caused issues I wrote a batch file that easily...

Nope, couldn't get into BIOS at all. I ended up removing SP2 so I could use their XP disc and starting the reinstall from in windows. Ended up with the same result in the end, but it still irks me that I couldn't get it to boot from the CD. This was a couple year old machine, a P4 2.4.

I'm trying to reload XP on a Dell Inspiron 5100 for a co-worker but I can't get into the BIOS to change the boot order to start with the CD. The boot screen says to press F2, but it completely ignores that key, no matter how frantically I tap it. Even holding it down, then hitting the power...

There's one function I really love that WindowBlinds has: The ability to minimize windows by just right-clicking on any window's title bar. I don't really care about theming and I don't want to buy WindowBlinds for that one function. Is there any free app or registry tweak that will let me...

You've never heard it because you don't. The problem is that the guy I'm working with is convinced that you do for some unknown reason and won't take my practical examples as proof. That document should help, thanks!

The situation: At my work our My Documents folders are all automatically redirected to user folder on servers, which is great. The bad, is that one of the LAN admins I work with is insisting that for folder redirection to work, the Offline Files feature must be activated. This causes all sorts...

Beautiful! Much more elegant than the one I was cobbling together too. Thanks! :)

I really don't know a whole lot of anything about VBScript, I'm just dabbling at this point. What I'm trying to do is essentially combine a couple of sample scripts I found to perform the function I need. What I want to do is to be able to get the serial number of a PC on the domain by entering...

Perfect, thanks!

Won't that just return the currently logged on username? I want to be able to delete it from every user's desktop at once...

Background: At my work pretty much all users have admin rights to their PC. (That issue's above my paygrade otherwise it wouldn't be this way...) Some sections have PCs that are used by several different users during the course of the week. The problem is that there are a few people that have a...

Exactly Transient, your went into an eternal loop. Even though nothing else was open or running it came back with an error that there was an active process using the device so it tried again, got the same error, etc... :p

I'll try setting the newly mapped one to be persistent, hopefully that'll help. The problem is that the LAN admins here are cleaning up a horribly clutter active directory structure and group policies. I got put in a group that gets the h: drive mapped to a location that's not right for me only...

Here's what I've been using unsuccesfully: net use h: /delete net use h: \\server\share The delete command just isn't succesful most of the time...

I'm trying to get a batch file to delete a network drive mapping and to remap to a different network share. The problem I'm having is that I can't get it to consistently delete the mapping, I have to browse to My Computer, right-click on the drive, and select disconnect from there to delete it...

I've got a an excel spreadsheet that has 4 columns of data on sheet 2 I need to display on sheet 1. On sheet 2 I have the following columns: Office #, Employee name, phone #. On sheet 1 I want a dropdown list to display the employee name. When a name is selected in that list I want to show the...

I need to get an inventory of all the software installed on a few hundred machines and management doesn't want to spring for software to do it. Instead of opening add/remove programs and taking screenshots or writing everything down I was hoping theer would be a way to export that list to a text...

Scalez got it! The server simply didn't have the drivers for this particular printer installed. Thanks!

Yup, it's turned on...

I'm trying to get a terminal services session to a 2003 server to automatically connect to a local USB printer. On my 2000 machine it works just fine; I start terminal services, connect to the 2003 server, and the server has my USB printer available. However when I do the exact same thing from...

The first one refers to the wrong thumbnail. (it refers to the one that you see on the left side of the window whenever you select any image file, not the thumbnail that is supposed to be the icon) The other one looks exactly like what I'm looking for though, thanks!

That's what the quotation marks are for. Without them then you'd have to trunkate it to 8 characters...

Anybody? :confused:

For a couple of weeks in any folder on my 2000 machine where I have the view set to "Thumbnail" it only displays the .bmps and has the default "this is a picture file" icon for .jpgs, .gifs, etc... If I select a .jpg or .gif it'll still showup in the preview pane to the left. No new software was...

My Kodak DX6490 has virtually zero lag providd it's been focused by pressing the button halfway...

Check what printer driver you're using, the PS or the PCL#. I think it's the PS that sends huge files to the printer.

Finally somebody mentioned the easy way! :p

If you poke around Adobe's website you can find an online * to .pdf convertor. You need to supply them with an e-mail addy and it's only good for 3 or 4 conversions, but if that's all you need it's the quickest and easiest way to get it done.

At my work we have several PCs hooked up to cash drawers. They're not actually hooked directly to the PC though. The PC has a receipt printer plugged into it and the cash drawer is plugged into that receipt printer via RJ-11 connection.

Nevermind I found it: %windir%

I've got a few batch files that I use at work that copy several files from a server to a Windows 2000 c:\winnt directory. What I want to do is make those work with Windows XP as well and copy to the c:\windows directory when needed. I know that at the run command if you browse to a workstation...

Here's what I do to actually lock the workstation instead of starting a password protected screensaver. This way any admin on that machine can unlock it and it'll leave them at the logon screen like you want. Create a new shortcut directed to: %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe...

lol, Infinite Improbability Shipping? :p

They stole the idea from the CDW commercial where the guy was trying to figure out how to use wormholes to ship parts faster!

I know that some other ISPs use IE but their own toolbars have a similar function to AOL's does as far as image quality goes. A relative of mine used Earthlink's software and it did the same thing...
