Sorry one more thing that I did not tell all of you that my computer is connect to domain controller. But i log it with the local user profile, not romaing profile. So I think the clock shoud be differnce from the server whether the computer join with domain... Do you have any idea???

It's been a while since I have been connected to a (corporate) Domain where I have had any control, so this is from memory. Roaming profiles and time synching are not connected, last place I worked (I was only Domain User) we didn't use Roaming Profiles and the time and date were always synchronised. I know this since I was able to add myself to the Local Administrators group (nice when one of the long term employees had contacts who could give him the local admin password) I would occassionaly change the date/time and a few minutes later it would be back in synch again.

If your computer is a member of a domain, it will be synchronised to a domain controller. You should ensure that your domain controllers are synchronized with an external time source. See the w32tm tool for how to configure this.
You can override this on the workstation, but it's better to get the domain time correct.

Windows checks the system RTC at startup, then maintains its own time programmatically. Over a period of time it loses accuracy, as the process is occasionally interrupted, and update cycles missed, when other processes with higher priority are running. The busier the machine, the quicker the errors pile up.
Synchronizing the machine to a time server is a good solution, so long as the time source isn't also busy. I use an Internet time server to keep the local server sync'd, then rely on WinXP's built in time client service to keep the clients on the same time as the local server. Check out this[^] site for information about using the US NIST servers as a time source. WTime32 is the process that handles the NTP service in Windows - you can find info at MS' site for setting it properly, though I believe that the above article includes detailed instructions.
Another possibility, of course, is that the RTC on the motherboard is off, but I can't think of a way for that to happen. Crystal oscillators just don't slow down over time, and I can't think of a failure mode on the motherboard that could lead to a slow down. It either works, or it doesn't, for any scenario I can imagine.. Well, there is one unlikely case, but that would make it go faster.

Can you tell me, what is the version of your windows operating system and the version of your internet explorer? On the other hand try to check this resource[^] for further information or use google website to find the information.

Before all, i have to say that i have create a andministrator and an limited user account.
But my questions are about how i can integrity my application without the limited user account can stop it, but here i have my 2 questions:
1) If we add a shortcut to the Start Menu | Programs | Start Up of our application but in the administrator account. It will starts to work if for example we log in in the WXP with the limited account. And if it starts to run, we can prohibite to the limitate account to don't stop the application?
2) If we add a entry in the registry to start our application, how we can stop to the user to don't delete this entry in the registry?

I don't understand this question. Could you explain more detail about your question?

I'm developing an application in VB.Net wich will perform the same function as DELPROF.EXE tool from microsoft does, except you will be able to select multiple computers from your Active Directory Domain to run it on, as well as pick an age cutoff.
Problem I am having is with deleting the profile directories. All of the commands I use to delete the folders error out because they are read only. I use a function to cycle through the directory and turn off the read only and hidden attributes then attempt to delete the fld and it erros out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure whether your application run under the user account which belong to a group that has sufficient right to delete the user profile.

Friends,
I've been playing too much with COM/ActiveX control these days. I create temporary projects and then delete them. But these programs left their signs in the registry. I create DLL and delete it but its entry in the registry remains there. As such my registry is badly polluted.
I am in search of free tool that can delete all those COM/OLE enteries from the registry which have no DLLs left. Please suggest me any ?

Hi there,
I have an exe file which is compiled by an old Fortran compiler.
now this file doesn't run under WinXP.
how can I solve this problem?
by the way the source code of this exe file is not available.
Thank you in advance.

Try setting the Compatibility Mode for the program to something older, like Win3.1. I don't recall offhand where to find it, but it's a new feature of WinXP that allows you to force older programs to run in an environment that emulates older operating systems. Win3.1 was really a shell running on DOS (as was Win9x), so it should behave similarly. I'm sure you can find it using online Help.

It was actually a Win2K feature - right-click the EXE->Properties->Compatibility. I don't know if this will affect DOS apps, but it's worth a try.

Reply:
edited means that it is done for *some* purpose. Corrupted implies that it was a machine failure.
Backup files in a secure medium of the main server is the first step. 2nd step would be to encrypt the files after *you* have edited them with a passcode. There are many tools to do this part. 3rd thing is to have a Source Code control mechanisim to Verify and authenticate the changes.
Ie version 1 begets child document 1.1 that then gets Child document 1.1.1, and so on until you get to the level of changes you want.
Change a whole paragraph, now you are at document level 1.2 etc.
Revise the Document 3 chapters at a time, Now the version is 2.0.0 etc.
Its a matter of how much effort you wish to do now , as opposed to how much effort you want to do later.
An example of a windows tool to use is WinZip, use it Zip the files to Hard drive in the directory , and turn 128 bit encryption on. then save the files to the server.(remember your password & Dont write it down. REMEMBER it. Try a few sample ones you may dream up. write them down on a post it not in your journal. Don't look at the note for 1 month. See how many you remeber after 30 days? this telly you how good your memory is, now think how hard it will be if you forget a file and dont remember the password for 12 months.
what a pain. Remember. it all depends on how much work you want to do now as opposed to later, (possibly when you forget what the password was).

hi,
I want to enumeratie all the users and groups of my xp. I solved this by using ADSI (Winnt://).
Here is my question:
What underlying local system does the ADSI WinNT Provider use to enumerate all the users and groups as I do not have a directory service somewhere?
I looked through LSA but could not find anything here. NetLan Management just returns the public accounts but not the build-in accounts.
Thanks for any help.

What do you want to know from here? What do you mean by software modem? You mean a driver of the modem? I don't understand about your question. If possible, please explain more detail about your question again.
