re: Compress Old Files Reg fix

Ruth — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:06:45 GMT

When I run Disk cleanup, I receive a message saying I have anywhere from 55000 to 6500+ old files and when I try to compress IT DOES NOT TAKE ANY OF THESE OFF. They stay the same. HOW DO I COMPRESS OLD FILES. Thank you so much for any help you will give me.

A thousand thank you's, once I worked out that the torrents file wasnt the bootable file itself and followed the process to download the actual bootable repair file, burned to a CD not a DVD ( wouldnt work off a DVD for me), eventually got my system to boot from the CD, selected repair my computer and all fixed within 15 minutes.DO NOT USE THE REINSTALATION DISC OR SIMILAR AS YOU WILL BE RECOMMENDED BT MANY SOURCES IT WILL WIPE ALL YOUR FILES AND INFO, THANKS TO THESE GUYS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THAT!!.Once again thank you thank you, over 400 gb of info and files would have needlessly been lost.

I wasted tons of time removing every entry in registry after several unistalls and nothing worked until I deleted cookies as suggested. Thank you. Of course tech support at quicken useless. Leave it to a internet search to finally find the solution.

Thanks again for posting

re: Lazy man's way to track user logon/logoff

Paul — Thu, 29 May 2008 14:00:58 GMT

Or bj, to add the logon / off details to a file that is named after the date just do the following.

Create the 2 batchfiles below (Logon.bat and Logoff.bat)

Add them to the GP as described above.

Username, action, computername, time, date will be saved to a single txt file that has the current date.

The next day all the details are saved to a new txt file with that date and so on.

Then create an xls template to read the data from the txt file so that it sorts it in time and username order.

Note: you will have to mess about with the date variables in order to get the file name in the correct date format that you require.

Logon.bat

---------

echo %username% Logged on %computername% %time% %date% >> \\server\share$\%date:~-7,2%-%date:~0,2%-%date:~-4,4%.txt

---------

Logoff.bat

----------

echo %username% Logged on %computername% %time% %date% >> \\server\share$\%date:~-7,2%-%date:~0,2%-%date:~-4,4%.txt

----------

re: Why IMF updates don't update

amir — Tue, 27 May 2008 14:12:18 GMT

thanks, i didn't know about the expiry. It looks a bit odd, why would they expire the update? Can't they leave the last update until the latest arrive? or there is a micromyth behind it?

re: Adding external email addresses to a distribution list

Mark — Thu, 22 May 2008 16:22:34 GMT

Hi,

I've found a quicker way than this - simply create a contact folder in public folders - you can then drag complete distribution lists (or individual contracts) directly into here - or more importantly, you can give the end user the permission to do this so you don't have to!

re: Lazy man's way to track user logon/logoff

bj — Wed, 14 May 2008 18:42:37 GMT

figured I'd post this.

I have it both logging in and out going into one csv file, administered via group policies. (work great)

I took it one step further, and created a batch file that at the end of the day will rename the file to the current date. Doing this allows me to keep the log file small, yet still organized via date.

how to:

1. Create a bat file in the same folder as your log share.

2. Note: run the bat file from the same server that the log share is located. (running the bat file from a different computer changed the directory it was being run from, therefor it couldn't find the csv file, easy fix if someone else wants to look up the solution).

2a. On the computer hosting the share create an "archive.bat" file and use task scheduler to make it run every day.

3. archive.bat should read:

'------Start Copy -----------

' this runs daily using the task scheduler on server: Apple.

' Set the Date Format

' gotten from www.tech-recipes.com/computer_programming_tips956.html

echo on

@REM Seamonkey's quick date batch (MMDDYYYY format)

@REM Setups %date variable

@REM First parses month, day, and year into mm , dd, yyyy formats and then combines to be MMDDYYYY

FOR /F "TOKENS=1* DELIMS= " %%A IN ('DATE/T') DO SET CDATE=%%B

FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2 eol=/ DELIMS=/ " %%A IN ('DATE/T') DO SET mm=%%B

FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=/ eol=/" %%A IN ('echo %CDATE%') DO SET dd=%%B

FOR /F "TOKENS=2,3 DELIMS=/ " %%A IN ('echo %CDATE%') DO SET yyyy=%%B

'SET date=%mm%%dd%%yyyy%

SET date=%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd%

' Copy and delete the UserLogon.csv. the UserLogon.csv file will be recreated next time someone logs in.

copy UserLogon.csv %date%.csv

del Userlogon.csv

re: XP SP3 and MCE

MasterG — Sun, 11 May 2008 08:19:13 GMT

You don't mention what SP you're currently running, but from the release notes of SP3 :-

This issue affects Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002.

If you install Windows XP SP3 on a computer running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 with SP1, Windows XP Media Center Edition may malfunction.

To avoid this, install Windows XP SP2 before you install Windows XP SP3.

If this issue has already occurred, uninstall Windows XP SP3, install Windows XP SP2, and then reinstall Windows XP SP3.
