bjhow, there’s no downloadable code with this particular article. If you are a registered user, you should be able to download the code in #49741, though. Please let me know if you’re still having problems with that download. Thanks!]]>AnneWed, 25 Jun 2008 17:30:39 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/administration-tools2/recommended-pmpmgr-for-printer-management#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/administration-tools2/recommended-pmpmgr-for-printer-management#commentsAnchorWed, 25 Jun 2008 13:07:57 GMT

OK, ok ... didn´t read the title :-O But you can start the mentioned scripts in different ways, for example also via a shortcut in a shared folder :-)]]>iuscrimFri, 06 Jun 2008 11:15:27 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/user-management-and-profiles/set-up-printers-without-gpos#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/user-management-and-profiles/set-up-printers-without-gpos#commentsAnchorFri, 06 Jun 2008 11:06:04 GMT
Actually I´m wondering why nobody is using the easiest way to connect users with network printers: (login) scripts which starts "rundll32" for connecting to all the printers in the network ... I am using the following login script (via GP) to connect my users with the existing printers on my print server: rem this one makes the connection rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n"\\SERVERI\black-white printer" rem ... and this one is for connecting ALL users Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n"\\SERVER\black-white printer" That´s it. :-) Best regards from a german reader, Christian Greiner]]>iuscrimFri, 06 Jun 2008 11:06:04 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/user-management-and-profiles/set-up-printers-without-gpos#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/windows-xp2/windows-xp-s-system-restore#commentsAnchorMon, 20 Sep 2004 10:08:44 GMT

There is a much easier way. Install a second copy of NT to the old PDC (using say winnt1 as your directory). Boot to the 2nd copy. Do an NT backup. This copies ALL the "primary" NT files and hive to tape in a closed state. Turn off the server. Install a copy of NT to your new server (use say winnt2 as the install directory). Restore from tape & reboot. Choose the original NT copy on startup. Replace network & video drivers and voila. The server is exactly the same as before including all registry and security entries. ]]>John Bradshaw Tue, 11 Mar 2003 14:28:51 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/domains2/10-steps-for-replacing-your-aging-pdc#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/registry2/top-10-xp-registry-hacks#commentsAnchorFri, 10 Jan 2003 14:03:54 GMT
What books on the Windows 2000 and the Windows XP would you recommend?]]>GrahamFri, 10 Jan 2003 14:03:54 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/registry2/top-10-xp-registry-hacks#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/registry2/top-10-xp-registry-hacks#commentsAnchorMon, 01 Jul 2002 10:45:46 GMT
HHOverton - I couldn’t agree more about the color scheme! While blue is my favorite color, that scheme made some of the tips very difficult to read.

Mark - You’re absolutely right. My intent was never to present these tips as the only way to change those features. Sometimes it is easier to change things via a registry hack rather than a series of clicks, especially when automating configurations. Thanks for the input.

The title Top 10 XP Registry Hacks implies that the article provides tips for modifying XP behaviors that require direct manipulation of the registry because you can’t accomplish them through the UI. For many of the tips, that’s not the case. Here are my comments about several of the tips in the article. 10. The HungAppTimeOut value doesn’t have anything to do with slow applications. It’s the delay that Task Manager waits between the time you use it to terminate a process and when Task Manager gives up waiting for an unresponsive application before it puts up a "force close" dialog box with which you can forcefully kill the application. 9. To get rid of Windows Messenger at startup, from Windows Messenger, go to Tools, Options and navigate to the Preferences tab of the resulting dialog box. Clear Run this program when Windows starts. 8. To get rid of Windows Explorer balloon pop-ups, open the Tools, Folder Options dialog box and select the View tab. Then, clear the Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items check box. 7. To show hidden files and folders, open Windows Explorer’s Tools, Folder Options dialog box and select the View tab. Then, select the Show hidden files and folders radio button. Similarly, to show extensions, clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box. 6. To have the Map Network Drive button apprear on the Windows Explorer toolbar, select Views, Toolbars, Customize to open the customization dialog box. Select Map Drive, press Add, then close the dialog box. 5. To get rid of folders from the Start menu, right-click the task bar and select Properties. Select the Start Menu tab and click the Customize button. Click Advanced, and from there you can choose which items to show on the Start menu. 3. To have the system clear the paging file at shutdown, open the Local Security Policy snap-in (secpol.msc) and navigate to Local Policy, Security Options. Select the Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile setting. --Mark Russinovich]]>MarkMon, 13 May 2002 11:15:20 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/registry2/top-10-xp-registry-hacks#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/registry2/top-10-xp-registry-hacks#commentsAnchorSun, 12 May 2002 19:32:34 GMT
The "Top 10 XP Registry Hacks" article in the May 2002 print issue is at best, only hard to read- Why would you screw up such a needed article with wierd background colors and fonts- to make it a truly hard to read article? If you want to use fun colors and fonts, PLEASE use them in promos/covers/ Etc., or maybe articles on the use of colors/fonts in brochures and advertisement. But please, not in articles that need "readibility". Thnak you for having a readable copy online!!]]>HH Overton Sun, 12 May 2002 19:32:34 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/registry2/top-10-xp-registry-hacks#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/domains2/10-steps-for-replacing-your-aging-pdc#commentsAnchorWed, 26 Sep 2001 11:18:02 GMT
When I replaced my PDC, I couldn’t find a comprehensive article about what I needed to do. I researched each task and documented each step so that I could write an article myself. Here’s my advice: For whatever you need to do, break down the process into specific tasks, and research each task to find helpful articles. Check Microsoft TechNet (http://www.microsoft.com/technet) and the Windows 2000 Magazine Web site (http://www.win2000mag.com). Also, look at the utilities in the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit. Where NT falls short, you can often find a utility in the resource kit that will help you. Sysinternals (http://www.sysinternals.com) also has useful utilities. If you haven’t visited the Windows 2000 Magazine Network online forums, check out http://www.win2000mag.net/forums. You can search existing posts for help on a specific task, or you can post a new thread. Sometimes getting as much feedback and advice as you can is the best solution, and the forum regulars can really help.

I read Melissa Wise’s "10 Steps for Replacing Your Aging PDC" (March 15, 2001) with great interest. I’m responsible for the Windows NT network in our school district, and I’m ready to replace our PDC and one BDC. I think replacing the BDC will be easier. I’ve been searching for information about replacing a PDC, and your article is the only one I can find that describes the process step by step. Do you know of any other resources that I can refer to for additional information?]]>Frank Aloia Wed, 26 Sep 2001 11:18:02 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/domains2/10-steps-for-replacing-your-aging-pdc#commentsAnchor
