Should be pretty painless. I put my fiance's mother through it last Christmas and she did exceptionally well, as did my roommate the year before. Just remember that your Windows programs won't run on it, you will need to get Mac versions. Your documents/pictures/music etc. should move over seemlessly. One caveat on music, you will need Windows Media Player for OS X if you have music/video encoded in Windows Media formats.
Also, remember that it is a bit of a learning process. Most people have the biggest problem because they try to do things the XP way on a Mac. Remember that the Mac will be more intuitive so you'll find yourself not having to jump through hoops anymore, which is a bit of a shock to new Mac users.
Oh, and enjoy the switch, everyone who I know that's done it is much happier and actually now use their computers for useful things other than just trying to keep them virus-free.

I am trying to automate norton ghost on several computers. The problem is that some of these computers do not have floppy drives. I am working with norton 7.5 and Easy cd creator 5 platnium on windows XP and 2000. From what I have read the CD has to be windows 98 format for norton ghost to boot properly. So my question is, how do I make a bootable CD for norton ghost that does not use a floppy?

i made this, but i did not end to automate it 'till the end.
however, you can do the following.
you first create a bootable floppy with a window 98 (if you don't have any, ask to a friend to create a boot floppy for you).
then, i don't know how easy CD Creator makes a bootable CD (i don't even know if it allows you to do such a thing) ; i made mine with nero.
I don't remember exactly the whole process to obtain it, but it is described in its help file.
search for creating a bootable CD, then, it will ask the boot source. give it the floppy, and add the files you like on your CD Burning session (i personally added the dos exe of ghost on my CD plus several files of mine).
then, here you are, your new bootable CD is ready to run.
boot your PC with it, then search for the ghost exe, run it...
you've got it !

I've tried making a bootable CD based off my Norton ghost boot disk with no success. I tried using Easy CD Creator 5, and trial version of Nero 6 Reloaded. For Nero i followed the instructions in the help manual for making a bootable CD. Everytime I boot off a CD, a few garbage characters are printed to the screen. If i press a key the same garbage characters are printed again.
Two of the boot CDs i made said "Cannot boot from CD code 4" and then immedaitely booted my OS. I can not remeber exactly what i did to get that. I have burned liek 10 CDs by now i am starting to forget what did what.
I downloaded the iso of ultimate bootdisk, burned to a CD as an image and that booted successfully to DOS, so i know my labtop supports bootable CDs.
Btw i am working with a IBM A31p labtop running Windows XP Pro. I want to boot Norton Ghost in DOS without the use of a floppy, b/c i do not have a floppy drive. A friend of mine has the same labtop but with a floppy disc drive so i use his to create the CDs.
Any suggestions would be very helpful

so use your friend computer to then create your boot CD... after that, you won't need floopy anymore to boot to DOS...

I do not know what i am doing wrong but I can not create a bootable CD. I tried it with Nero and Easy CD Creator. Using various guides online. Can anyone give me a link to a guide that you have tested for Windows XP? Thanks

Dear Friends
Does anybody know "what is the maximum nested folders depth in windows".
I've observed that it just not only counts the no of nested folders in a hierarchy, but it also count folders names to limit the depth.
For example, I've tested it by creating deep folder hierarchy, exceeding the count of 244 words like the following.
1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\10\11\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\10\21\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\10\11\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\10\31\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\10\11\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\10\21\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\10\11\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\10\VSS_PROJECT_REPOSITORY\VSS Database\Imp Research Materi
Actually, I needed a deep folder hierarchy and to test the limit, I replaced it by number for checking. You can see that it equals to 244 count, and when it reaches this limit, it doesn't allow to make any more nested folder.
CAN ANYBODY GIVE A SOLUTION FOR CONTROLLING / EXCEEDING THE LIMIT OF NESTED FOLDERS IN END USER'S HAND.
I've tested it both with Windows 2000 and XP.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is a maximum depth of nested folders.
The maximum length you can have for a path is 260 characters, unless you use a special syntax with the Unicode version of, for example, CreateFile. Explorer cannot display a path longer than 260 characters and will not allow you to navigate deeper than that.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Using the ANSI APIs, the total path length is limited to MAX_PATH (260). Using the Unicode APIs, the path length limit is 32767 characters and each component of the path is limited to MAX_PATH characters.

I am working on several programs that require ordinary users to be able to adjust settings that are shared by all users. In particular, if a user plugs in a new video camera to the frame grabber board, the camera won't suddenly revert to the old one when a new user logs in. What are some approved ways to do it?

if one creates a subdirectory of All Users/Application Data, it's OK to make that folder world writeable and store shared files there. I found this in the specs for the "Designed For Windows XP" logo, which required a lot of links to reach and quite a bit of reading once I had it.

I have a W2k Advanced Server, (Cluster Service).
On that I have to crate a resource type "Network Name" using Widows/VB Script.
Now the problem is I could not able to add the Virtual server name in the parameters section. As the Virtual Name is missing I could not bring the resource on-line.
Any suggesstions, Thanks in advance

Is there a way to hide the shortcut tab when you right click on a shortcut and go to properties? Or at least prevent changing the 'Target' field?
Thanks in advance.

There are two point that you should consider:
1. Configure the Mandatory profile.[^]
2. Use group policies to apply setting for Remove windows explorer default context menu and Remove the property from the My Documents context menu.

Hi guys,
Is there a policy to allow users to search only their local drives or profile? I want to prevent some users from searching for files on the network.
Thanks!

By default, each user could not access to the other profile of another user. So the user could not search for any specific file or folder.
Anonymous wrote: I want to prevent some users from searching for files on the network.
Before user could access the network drive, the system will autenticate the user information (user name and password). Access to the network drive mean the user already authenticate and have sufficient permission to access to the resource. Whether you prevent them from search the file or folder but they have the right to browse each file or folder by manually.
I also check in the group policies and didn't find any policies setting to prevent the user to search the specific drive. But if you completely prevent the user to access to search program, use the group policies and set the following policies:
- Remove search button from windows explorer.
- Remove search menu from start menu.

Hi there:
This is a question regarding NET TIME which we can use it to synchronize our local system time with any other system (server etc) time.
As an example you have a simple BATCH file like this:
net time \\lavanya /set /y
which will set my system time to the time as on system named Lavanya
Now my questions are:
(1) If I have it as an AUTOEXEC.BAT or Startup Folder in Windows, then some of the users who logon to the system may not have administrative privileges. Then when Windows run this file, it would encounter the message "A required privilege is not held by the client" and the script would be ignored. How to overcome this problem?
(2) If I try to use runas then I need to give username and password right?
Are there any workarounds for this issue?
And Windows Time is available only for XP systems. Is'nt it? This code snippet would be particularly useful to cover downlevel systems like Windows 98 (though not supported) and Windows 2000 too.

Windows 2000 definitely supports time synchronization. The W32Time service ( details[^] ) runs as a system service, and can be set to fetch time from an outside time server. I use the NIST servers to sync my home server and those at work to a reliable reference time. The clients then sync to the local server. WinXP clients automatically do this; Win2K clients require setting some parameters in the w32time service to accomplish the same, but neither is affected by the user logged on.
I haven't had to work with a Win98 network client in a while, but I did succeed in setting the last bunch to sync to a server. It can be done - check out MS TechNet for ideas.

As far as I know, the NET TIME command is popular used under windows NT 4.0. But when it move to windows 2000 or xp, it has a default service W32Time which is automatically synchronize the time with the server.

This problem occure because you try to run an autoexec batch file that need to change the system time while the process run under the user that don't have user right to change the system time. There are two solution to solve this problem:
1. Create the logon script for the user. The script contain the command line that will synchronize the time between the server and the client (Recommend).
2. Give the user for the user right to change the system in the Group Policies editor (Not recommend).

In my opinion, I do not recommend this method. Try to use the above solutions.

ad (2) If I try to use runas then I need to give username and password right?
just now i'm looking at runas case and see you can enter user's name in command line (/user)
just do not see way how to stop asking for password with more runas-es
