Hi guys,
I am in trouble...somehow I ended up disabling the local admin account on a Windows XP machine, and the rest of the users are only Power Users.
Is there any way to recover from that?
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks,
...neualex

Not possible. Even if the built-in Admin account shows it's disabled, the value is ignored. The local Admin account is NEVER treated as disabled.
This does NOT hold true for accounts that are members of the local Administrators group.
You can, however, reset the password to whatever you want (inside the password restriction policies) using any of a number of recovery disks. You can find a bunch of them here[^]. I, myself, have used ERD Commander and this[^] little gem.

Hi there,
I need help in getting the below code to work. I'm trying to programmatically reposition
the taskbar to the top of the screen, and the below program does so. However, the problem is that, once taskbar has been repositioned
and I click any icon/application there, it returns back to the bottom.
Can somebody please help as I want it to be permanently repositioned?
Below is my full code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <shellapi.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
RECT rect;
RECT deskTopRect;
HWND hDesktopWindow;
char* strMessage = "Your Taskbar is now repositioned.";
HWND hWnd = FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", NULL);
APPBARDATA abd;
ZeroMemory(&abd, sizeof(APPBARDATA));
abd.cbSize = sizeof(APPBARDATA);
SHAppBarMessage(ABM_GETTASKBARPOS, &abd);
GetWindowRect(hWnd, &rect);
SetWindowPos(hWnd, NULL, rect.left, 0, rect.right, rect.bottom-rect.top, SWP_NOSENDCHANGING);
UpdateWindow(hWnd);
hDesktopWindow = GetDesktopWindow();
GetWindowRect(hDesktopWindow, &deskTopRect);
RedrawWindow(hDesktopWindow, NULL, NULL, RDW_FRAME|RDW_INVALIDATE|RDW_UPDATENOW|RDW_ALLCHILDREN);
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETWORKAREA, 0, NULL, SPIF_SENDCHANGE);
UpdateWindow(hDesktopWindow);
MessageBox(NULL, strMessage, "Taskbar Message", MB_OK);
return 0;
}
</shellapi.h></windows.h></stdio.h>

I have a question like how to exit a batch file after launching a Windows application from it.
I have a small batch file to launch an application with a specific commandline parameter. For that matter, I am actually using Todolist application from here http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/todolist2.aspx?msg=2566112#xx2566112xx[^]. The only contents of the batch file are below:
todolist -x
I need this parameter so that the encrypted todolist files are demanded with the password only once instead of everytime I toggle tabs within the application. Now the problem is after launching the todolist, the batch file still remains open and running. How to exit the batch file after starting this application?

When just calling a exe like todolist -x cmd will sit and wait for the program to exit. To start the program without waiting for it to finish use the start command. If I remember corrrectly, to send params you need to use it like this start todolist "" -x . If that doesnt work just type start /? to see the syntax.

Use the start command, to execute the application in a new session.
Otherwise the script waits for the application to exit
Like this:
Start "todolist -x"

Thank you. It worked cool.
I had to make a little change but. I typed the command without single quotes. With single quotes, for some reason, it closed the current command window and started a new blank command window.

I'll check what I write next time
The text within the first quotes becomes the title of the commandwindow if you open a new one.
The reason for the quotes around the path is if you have a space in it.
This works for example: start "" "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\acrord32.exe"
This works too: start c:\autoexec.bat

I am new to this site, I don't know the best forum to post this in but I will try here. I would like to setup my Windows XP Pro computer so it can accept incoming VPN connections through the internet. I have setup Windows to do that, but no one can connect. Error 800. I have tried everything from disabling the firewall to going through every setting I could find that related to it and tried every combination.

Sounds like it's not being routed. Check that port 1723 for your public ip address is routed to your private address.
For a quick check, try "telnet <your public="" ip="" address=""> 1723" and see what comes up.
edit: telnet your.internet.ip.address 1723
CP doesn't like the brackets I used before...

Hello and welcome, John C. Smith. If that is your real name.
Sorry I can't help you with that one. But if you don't get a suitable answer here, you might also try in the Operating Systems / SysAdmin forum.
Best of luck!

You haven't mentioned whether you checked your anti-virus product settings. (And if you don't have one you might as well go sit in the corner)
Can these connectors ping your pc ?
Do a search (Google or even Yahoo) like "error 800 with windows XP vpn" you'll find LOTS of advice/suggestions.

Two words: Port Forwarding.
If you're behind a router you need to tell it where to send VPN requests to.

You're very lucky that you have an English name, have good command of the language (even if it's not your native language) and are well spoken.
If you'd failed any of these requirements you would have been ridiculed, chastised, reprimanded and generally made to feel rather unwelcome.
Now I'll sit back and wait for the '1' votes from all the people with a guilty conscience...
Oh, and like someone else said, you'll need to open up a port on your router. Google around for keywords like "port forwarding" and you should find more information than you can shake a stick at.

Hi Miszou,
I gave you a preemptive 5 and my conscience is totally clear.

What kind of stick do you recommend?

I am having a trouble opening port 17012 on Windows 2008 Server.
I need to allow incoming traffic and I have added exception in Windows firewall for both UDP and TCP, but port remain time outed.
I have also visited Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and tried to open it, but still no luck.
I also Googled for the answer, but nothing works.
No extra firewalls no AV's except Windows Defender...
Does anyone know the solution for this?

Hi Guys,
I need your advice, if what is the best backup software now wherein I can be able to backup all the data coming from 100 computers and stored them to my tera byte harddrive?
Thanks

Depends on your budget.
But I would have a serious look into the "Desktop and Laptop Option"[^] in Backup Exec
If you want it cheaper you probably have to play around with a group policy script.

Hi Jorgen,
What I would like for now is just to get all the data from 100 computers harddrive and save them all into the terabyte harddrive. Because I am thikning of placing the terabyte HDD in enclosure and get all the data from each computer thru enclosure (with USB port).
But I find it very difficult to backup if I will do it that way. If there's just a backup software outthere wherein I can just click on it and backup the data from 100computers thru LAN then that's fine. It's only a one time use, because we need to transfer all our data to the other office within the short period of time thru our terabyte HDD. Thru FTP server will take us a longer time to backup everything.
I hope you can recommend some software out there, what do you think?
Thanks

Is it the same defined folder(s) on all the computers that need to be copied?
|
|
|
|
|
I think, I will just let someone backup the data one by one thru the external hard drive (enclosure) terabyte in size, for now. Because this must be done the shortest possible time. And later, I will just put up a backup server, so that it won't repeat the same problem we're having on transferring data.
Thanks

Is there any way I could intercept and modify character data sent to an Epson/IBM emulating dot matric printer? I understand that the data transmitted is very simple, just ASCII characters with ESC codes for control. It is these ESC codes I wish to insert into or remove from the data sent to the printer.
At worst I suspect could somehow detect the beginning of a transmission, delay it while sending the interlopers, and then resume. Or is that really wishful thinking?

None I know about, but it's out of my league anyway. But he[^] might know.
You can of course create a copy of the printer, setting it to print to a file instead of the device. Open and edit the file before sending it to the real printer.
Ok, the method is admittedly a bit clumsy.
