Has anyone figured out a way to run a rule right after a send/recieve has executed? I am trying to sort mail but I have to run the rule everytime I send/recieve.

G'Day Roger, I hope the fishing went well today. Yes I know you don't actually wake up for another 50 minutes or so, stop being so pedantic.
I have a hardware question for you which I hope you can help me on.
I got my hands (legally) on a second hand machine for my wife. AOpen case, GA-6VTE+ motherboard, Pentium III 733MHz CPU, 256MB Kingmax PC133 SDRAM, 10GB HDD (got another identical one in the cupboard), 32MB AGP card, internal modem, NIC, SCSI, CD-RW. All for $200.00, problem is the power switch is missing.
I believe these are mometary switches, and plan to buy or make one instead of buying a new case as I'm doing this on the cheap. I have searched around and found this[^]. I am hoping I can use it to make the switch I need. I plan to rip out a front panel wire from one of the useless shells at work, one with a two pin plastic connector at the end. Then just solder the wires to the two probes on the back of the switch.
What in my amazing plan have I missed?
Why will it blow up in my face?
What would you do if faced with this catostrophic problem?

I don't see any problem with this at all, Michael. I assume that this is a ATX case and MB, so you don't have to be concerned about large currents, and the 3A rating is much more than adequate. Using an SPST switch, polarity is not a problem, either, so there's very little that can go wrong. I don't see any mention of it, but I assume that the switch you selected is a normally open type - there isn't much call for a normally closed momentary action switch. Have fun!

It is.

Wouldn't have a clue, I picked what looked like the smallest plainest switch that should fit behind the front panel of the case. I decided I didn't need any LED's or fancy crap like that. I will ask the bloke down the store what type it is before I buy it.

Just got off the phone to one of the sales people in Jaycar and they recommended this[^]. Does this seem right to you? It doesn't seem to be a momentary switch and I'm having troubles getting past the price. $11.25 for the switch versus $37.50 for a whole new case.
Just need to have a talk to the wife. I've already used up my dollars till paydfay next week. Will have to see if she will part with the dollars since the computer is for her anyway.

That does seem extreme. I'd try your first option' if it doesn't work then you can spend the money on a more costly type.

I ended up just buying the new case. $37.20 for a 320W P4 case with 2 x USB ports at the front was alright by me. Even if the motherboard doesn't support the ports at the front. The existing case didn't have the cover, I thought I had just forgotten to pick it up but he didn't have it. So I will have to save my soldering efforts till next time.

Most MBs now have 4 USB ports - two implemented as jacks on the back of the case, and two available via headers on the board. These are connected to your front panel connectors with a cheap cable, if the MB has these extra ports. Sounds like a very economical solution, grabbing a new case instead of mucking about with dangerous power tools.

Unfortunately the motherboard doesn't have the required pins for the front of the case. Something I'm sure she'll be able to live without as the crappy old laptop we're replacing only had one anyway.

It may be safer but not as much fun.

The bloke owed me a big favour and gave it to me for half of what he wanted. To make you feel worse prices here in Australia on aveage seem to be 50 - 100% more than in the US.

If I had a dollar for everybody who said I owe you one and never compensated me back in anyway I would have a dual Xeon HT.

Maybe its because everything is upside down, so instead of something being six dollars its nine

Brilliantly put. Though I reckon it's just you Yanks subsidising the running costs of your country by rorting us wannabe 3rd world countries.

Does anyone know how to change network and adapter setting in a MFC program?
It can be easily done by hand, just right click on a network connection and select "Properties" to make changes. However how to do that in a program?
I found a very useful program by IBM, named "Access Connection" (http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-4ZLNJB.html?doctype=Downloadable+files) can do this. I am trying to write a simular program.
Any help is appreciated!

Off to a customers site in an hour or so to rebuild a Windows 98 box that needs to logon to a Windows NT domain. Haven't had to do this in ages so the memory is a bit dodgy.
Memory tells me that I don't need to add the machine to the Domain via Server Manager as I would if it was a Windows NT/2000/XP machine. Is this correct.
To get the user logged on to the Domain is it as simple as changing the Network Settings to log on to a Microsoft Network/Client or whatever it is, and then enter the domain name in the appropriate box on the logon screen?
Have I missed anything obvious/important?

It's been years since I had to do this, but I believe that I did have to add the computer to the domain on the server, and in the networking applet had to specify that the client logs on to a WinNT domain. Since I was using the Small Business Server garbage the entire process was done by a wizard (which crashed and had to be reinstalled every time RRAS was installed) so I couldn't see the individual steps, but I checked the results on each client after connecting. If it gives you any trouble post a reply - I have the Win98 Resource Kit here and can give you the step-by-step from the book.

Finished this Tuesday night (it's Friday morning here now). Didn't have to reinstall Windows 98 so didn't have to worry about connecting it to a domain.
Ended up having bodgy versions of MPR.DLL and WINMM.DLL. Extracted the originals from the CAB files and all worked like a charm. No idea what caused the bodgy files to appear, their anti-virus program found nothing as did Ad-aware 6.

(using cygwin and tcsh shell on win2k )
I need to find a file with permission 755 .
find . -name "qq.txt" -perm 0755 -print
but doesn't find the file
it does find the file with
find . -name "qq.txt" -print
any idea ?
Thanks.

Just a guess, but maybe the file isn't exactly 0755 (maybe the suid/guid/sticky bits are set)? You can get the octal representation of the permissions of a file with:
<br />
chmod --reference=qq.txt -v qq.txt<br />
(it's a hack... if anybody knows a better way, I'd love to know  )
