If so, it is called auditing and is handled by an adminstrative tool within te control panel.

Cannot delete a file Andy H9-Dec-02 4:39 Andy H 9-Dec-02 4:39  We have a Win2K Pro laptop which has a file of size 1.99Mb is size. It is not an OS protected file, but when attempting to delete it the OS advises that it is already open. This even happens after a reboot. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we can do to get rid of this damn file. Andy Re: Cannot delete a file Andrew Medvedev10-Dec-02 2:13 Andrew Medvedev 10-Dec-02 2:13  Maybe this is system file? If this file located on NOT-system drive just start chkdsk from console with "Force dismount" option (/X). After check try to kill it.

It may be that this is a service file that is being used. In which case you can stop the service then delete the file . Chris change defaults of IE xxhimanshu8-Dec-02 22:15 xxhimanshu 8-Dec-02 22:15  hi all, i want to change the defaut value of IE redirection..i.e. when a URL is not found IE is automatically redirected to autosearch.msn.com i want to redirect it to my own site..i.e..www.mysite.com..any help please... thanks himanshu Re: change defaults of IE Roger Wright9-Dec-02 5:21 Roger Wright 9-Dec-02 5:21  I haven't tried this, but you might give it a try. Search the Registry for the autosearch.msn.com URL and locate the keys where it appears (if any). After saving a backup copy of your registry, try changing the value of the keys found to www.mysite.com, then rebooting. IE is very consistent about following the Windows model, storing everything in the Registry instead of config files, so I'd expect this to work nicely. If not, you can at least restore everything from your backup. "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002) SuSE Linux and Windows 2000?

Johannes //still a newbie W2K/XP: Thread Dispatching Triggers jbenco6-Dec-02 17:07 jbenco 6-Dec-02 17:07  I know that thread dispatching is triggered when any thread enters the Ready state. But do timers and I/O operations asynchronusly (i.e., outside the 15 ms Interval Timer) change thread states (from Waiting to Ready) and do they force the dispatcher to immediately perform thread scheduling? Given a high priority thread that is waiting on a timer to expire (e.g., Sleep(1)), what mechanism is checking this timer, does it occur at a higher frequency than the 15ms Clock Interval Interrupt, and does it force immediate thread scheduling?

Definitely not. W2K/XP are not real time operating systems nor are they deterministic when scheduling threads. What Do They Have In Common? Roger Wright6-Dec-02 9:17 Roger Wright 6-Dec-02 9:17  Here's a teaser for you: The town across the river where my ISP's servers reside had a power failure Wednesday - I lost contact for 3 hours. Since then all chat services have become unreliable. Trillian, AIM, MSN, ICQ, and even Sonork all disconnect every few minutes, which destroys the chat session in progress. The connection itself is working perfectly - 11 Mbps with 0% packet loss - and DNS is cranking along nicely, as I've had no trouble navigating the 'net with a browser. Contacting the ISP would be a waste of time, as the guy that set it up and knew about networking sold his interest to his silent partner and left the state for a place with trees. His partner doesn't know squat about computers, and the tech support remaining is the cable-puller. Needless to say, there's little hope of the cable guy finding the problem - if there's a green light on the front panel, he's happy. Beyond that he's helpless. So, what, if anything, do all these chat services have in common? My thinking is that, since the power failure happenned at night, there was no one in the office and the UPSs ran down, letting the works go down in a highly informal manner. The machines are still on WinNT 4.0, so any number of complications could result, and I suspect that something has been corrupted in the OS that affects these services, but not the basic http transport. I'd go over there and fix it myself, but I haven't a clue what to look for. Any suggestions?

Daniel Turini6-Dec-02 9:30 Daniel Turini 6-Dec-02 9:30  Roger Wright wrote: Any suggestions? Is changing ISP an option? (I know you live near the border of the world) The unreliable connection may come from a unstable web proxy or from a failing unity in a cluster of firewalls. If they don't have tech support, you're in bad waters. You could try turning off your HTTP proxy, if there is any... I see dumb people Re: What Do They Have In Common? Roger Wright6-Dec-02 10:28 Roger Wright 6-Dec-02 10:28  Changing ISPs is an option, but then I'd have to settle for a mere DSL connection and pay at least twice as much. For 11 Mbps @ $28/month I'm willing to put up with much! I'm not using any proxy, and I don't believe the ISP is using any firewalls, but I do recall that they have about 6 servers running in the office. If they're clustered, there might be some synchronization issues after the power failure, but I'd expect that sort of problem to have more extensive effects. I was hoping that there might be some service or feature that chat agents all use and I don't know about, but maybe there isn't, and it was just a coincidence that this nonsense started the same day the lights went out. With luck, maybe it will just go away "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002) Re: What Do They Have In Common? Joe Woodbury9-Dec-02 19:57 Joe Woodbury 9-Dec-02 19:57  It also may be a router problem. (My thinking being that chat services use specific ports and if the router reset to a default configuration, those ports may be now blocked and/or improperly configured.) Re: What Do They Have In Common? Roger Wright9-Dec-02 21:02 Roger Wright 9-Dec-02 21:02  Good call! Though not exact, that's sort of what happenned. The fact that it started at the time my ISP lost power seems to be coincidence (what are the odds?). Much digging and gnashing of teeth led to the discovery that Zone Alarm Pro, after many months of working perfectly, suddenly started blocking most of the packets going to and from Trillian. It did this on its own, with no change in settings, and there's a mystery! It also started, a few hours later, blocking messages from Sonork, as well. I deliberately added Trillian, and the subnet it operates on, to the Trusted Zone in ZAP, then removed and re-added the program itself to the list of apps permitted to access the Internet. Rebooting a couple of times changed nothing, but when I shut down both Trillian and ZAP manually, then cold-started the server, it went back to operating smoothly again as it always had before. Problem solved, though not the mystery of why it happenned, or perhaps more importantly, why it had always worked before without any special settings in ZAP.

Install windows NT Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa4-Dec-02 22:19 Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa 4-Dec-02 22:19  I have some problems in installing windows-NT. Actually my PC already has windows-2000 professional edition. Due to some problems I wanted to install windows NT. So I booted with the windows NT CD. MY PC has a HDD of 28GB. The C: has 2GB with FAT32, I have other drives with ntfs partition. During the installation process an error message appeared telling that one of the drives has more than 1024 cylinders and cannot install NT. And the process stopped. Anyone can explain why, and tell me a method to install windows NT. I have some files in my d: and that needs to be backed up. So, dont tell me to reformat the whole hdd. Anyother solution welcomed.... I started with nothing, And I still have lots of it left with me.
