You have never seen a PC keyboard with a moon an a sun?
What kind of country do you use to live? Nepal?
Moon = Sleep computer
Sun = Wake up computer
My answer is so polite as yours.
I'll not continue answering your "non helping" post.

The US, and despite having used keyboards since the ASR33 Teletype was considered state of the art, I've never seen a sun or moon key on any of them. But since you've clarified the meaning of your original post, such functionality is implemented in the keyboard driver software that is installed with the device. You could write a new driver for your keyboard, but it may be possible to write an application to intercept keycodes before Windows processes them and execute your own custom instructions for specific codes. A simple keyboard input scanner will help you to determine which keycodes to look for.

well I have to say I too was wondering what keys you were talking about. There is no sleep/wake keys on my keyboard - I had one that did (but there was no moon or sun on them) and I got rid of it as fast as I could find another without them - they should be banned. Nearly had a heart attack first time my computer suddenly turned itself off and I had no idea why... I'd accidently hit Sleep. Horrible things.
And if you can't ask clear questions you can't expect the answer you want.

I am trying to use the File.Delete(path) command in an ASP.NET application. It works fine on the remote webserver, but here on my development machine (XP Pro with IIS) I get a permissions error....
...the erro page says I can change the file-access permissions via Windows Explorer (right-click/properties/security) but there is no security tab here... I am logged in as the computer administrator.
How can I chagne the permissions associated with the ASPNET machine account? Going the obvious way via control panel doesn't seem to give any options... there is no ASPNET user account as such, except when I look under admin tools / computer management / users - but again, no options to change anything useful, as far as I can see...
any ideas greatly appreaciated
thanks

Thanks - my problem is that I can't get this "security" tab to appear! However, I solved things by simply adding a
<identity impersonate="true" />
to web.config - this, I gather, makes the application impersonate my admin user rather than then the built-in aspnet machine user... it works!

yes, I know that! But this is only on my development machine - on the webserver proper it runs fine without having to modify web.comfig. Ta, P.

Hmmm... Does the XP version of IIS install an IUSER account or equivalent? Granting Admin rights to it might help.

Yes, it does... I guess it would make more sense to impersonate that account rather than the admin one, but security isn't really not an issue on this machine...
...on a slight tangent, I can't help but feel that Microsoft, bless their little cotton socks, are in danger of losing sight of the woods for the trees with regards their OS security - it's so damn complex, so many options and settings and possibilities, that anyone who isn't a real expert (ie an awful lot of us) end up either ignoring it or leaving gaping holes because we haven't configured it right... surely it doesn't have to be so hard to understand? I think there is maybe a case for going back to the drawing board, Bill..
thanks for you reply

Hi all, I just signed up here and come to find out  most of this stuff is all over my head. I thought someone here would tell me how to use xphome edition and not have to re-install every 30 days before shut-down. And please don't tell me to Register the damn thing. :-Dlol I'm not much a a bull-shitter so I can't call 'em up on the phone and give a story...I'm no good at that.
Thanks I sure would like to know this!

If you don't activate your legal copy by phone or via the Internet, it will fail to run every thirty days. Just do it.
If your copy isn't legal, buy a legal copy and install it and activate it.
If that's not acceptable, you're a thief and we have no use for you here. We all, in one way or another, make a living creating intellectual property, and we respect the rights of others who have done so before us. TANSTAAFL. If that's undecipherable to you, you won't like it here very much, anyway.

I have inherited a W2K/terminal server/IIS system with an activex control on specific web-pages.
The TSAC control doesn't specify the .SecuredSettings.StartProgram on the web page, but a system policy is configured on the server wih the Windows NT Shell->Custom User Interface->Custom Shell enabled for certain groups and users. This setting specifies the executable to run...
Is there a good reason to use the system policy instead of specifying it in the control?
Is there a way to specify the app to launch based off the user's membership in groups?
What I have is working, just curious if there is a good reason for the way that it is setup.
Any comments would be appreciated.

...though anyone else can feel free to answer.
I am having a problem on my home network that is also appearing at a customers site I will be visiting again later this morning. Both networks are run from an ADSL modem/router (mine is a Netcomm NB-1300 Plus 4, customers D-Link DSL-504G0) that is the DNS and DHCP servers.
IP are given correctly, internet access is fine, browsing, email, pinging by IP and HostName. When accessing within the internal network pinging by IP Address is working but pinging by HostName fails, with DNS unable to resolve.
This isn't a big deal, but the Third Party software (it's a Smash Repair shop and the software connects to insurance companies for quotes. I am only a Sys Admin/Technician, I'm not coding anything) wants to talk to each other by HostName.
Any idea why? (Forgot to say XP Pro and Win2000 Pro are the 2 machines at customer).

I'm not sure if this applies to P-to-P networks, and I'm too tired to research it right now, but try enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP. If there's a server involved, allow WINS to update DNS. A simpler solution, if the network is small, is to put entries in the HOSTS and LMHOSTS files that refer HostNames to specific IP addresses. DHCP doesn't usually randomly change local addresses, but tends to reuse the last address assigned for each host unless requested to provide a new address range for a new scope.

I have a Windows 2003 Server. I notice that as I log in using remote desktop, a window (similar to an MIRC window) pops up and suddenly disappears. There hasnt been any anomalous activity on the server such as web-traffic or missing file, etc. I was wondering what could be causing that?

Can you tell what the window's name is?

In opinion, you windows might inffect with spyware. Normally windows do not cotain any specific application like the client. Try to increase your server security by:
- Update the anti-virus definition.
- Update the security patch or service pack from windows update website.
- Download and install windows defender[^] in order to clean any virus in your server.
