    Win 95 profiles

    Hi. Look for a file called config.pol and delete it. I can't remember exactly where the file is stored but it's safe to say it's somewhere in the windows directory. It may be hidden. Otherwise do a search in Google Groups for user policies or config.pol. Regards.

    Hi A simpler method is to make use of the Directory and File permissions incorporated into NTFS: Select the folder where the databases and indexes are stored. Right click -> Properties -> Security -> Permissions Select the user group you wish to deny access to.. Type of Access -> Special...

    Forgot Administrator's password!

    saqi2000- I thought my little post had gone unnoticed way up there in the beginning. The URL does work, I just clicked on your link and was taken direct to the page. I hit CRTL-F5 to refresh the browser in case it was cached and loaded again. There is another link...

    User names in Clipper?

    In Windows 98 there is no 'automatic' USERNAME environemt variable, you have to create one. Create a small user logon script (batch file) which runs whenever the user logs on and sets an environment variable to the username, eg. {EDWARD.BAT <-run when user Edward logs on.} @WINSET...

    convert text file to csv file

    Hi. The following link: http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/17713.html has a small DOS program called txt2csv. I haven't tried it therefore take no responsibility for its outcome. Be sure to work with a copy of the data. Otherwise, if the text file is TAB or SPACE delimited, you can easily open the...

    Excel problem sorting copied data

    That'll teach me to proof-read before posting. Should have been &quot;copied the entire column&quot; and &quot;then in a new column, 'paste-special'...&quot; Regards

    Excel problem sorting copied data

    Hi. I once had a similar problem in Excel 2000 caused, as you rightly suggested, by the different formats of the cells within the column, ie. text and numbers. Formatting the column had no effect. To solve it I copied the entire cell, then 'paste special' and select the 'add' option. This...

    Computer will not show logon screen? I have to force it to logoff

    Probably the problem is resolved but you might have a look at the following URL: http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/125 It's to do with automatic logons -effectively bypassing the logon screen. Regards.

    MS Jet databse engine cannot open the file....

    GriffMG. Thanks for the speedy reply. I applied your alterations yesterday but had to wait until today to see if they would work (server restart during the night). They didn't. Once upon a time I played around with Opportunistic locking and none of the clients are using it. No, I'm pretty sure...

    Hi. { SQL 2000 running on Windows 2000 Server SP2 Jet 4.0; Windows NT 4.0 Domain/File Server located the Clipper 5.2 dBases and program; Clients running Windows 98 with mapped drive to NT4. } This was originally posted in the SQL forum but no-one responded. Maybe they were offended by the...

    Hide files in NETLOGON but still allow execution

    globalstrata- my question was a general 'how do you' with the intention of hiding files from users but still letting their machines run the specified files. I don't even want the designated user to see his/her logon script, let alone anybody else see a list of the users in the domain. With...

    Hide files in NETLOGON but still allow execution

    jtb- thanks for the suggestion. I am familiar with the system policy editor, but can't find anything about not letting people see files in a shared (read only) directory. Maybe you could be a tad more specific. Regards.

    Recycle Bin only works for locally deleted files

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. wolluf- you were wise to be unsure - it doesn't. Also, after installing on Windows 2000 Server, nobody could use Terminal Server. After uninstalling-no problem. After uninstalling on NT4 now my normal recycle bin doesn't work :-( hbaecker- it costs money. You...

    Help Needed - Reading Tab Deliminited file

    It appears that it doesn't specifically have to be Clipper that you use to achieve your result. This being the case, open the file with Excel then do a SaveAs to whichever format you wish. If you need to save it in a dBase format, you can SaveAs comma delimited, then create the structure and...

    Remote Data Access

    Hi. Probably not the solution you were looking for, but have you considered using Terminal Server (Win2000) and running everything on one central server. Just a thought. Regards.

    modify structure with clipper

    Hi. I wrote a wee program to convert databases from Escudos to Euros which involved reading the structure of said databases and allowing alteration from within the program. It was written in haste and may need some re-coding but if you drop your email I can send you the code. Regards.

    DOS applications on Windows2000

    Hi. malysg gave the solution of calling the dosidle() function at the beginning of your code, and including DOSIDLE.OBJ in the linking. Without this function being called, the processor is 99% occupied with ntvdm.exe, with it doesn't even register, ie. 0%. I don't remember where DOSIDLE.OBJ can...

    Recycle Bin only works for locally deleted files

    Hi. Windows NT 4.0 Server SP6a file server; Workstations Windows 9x. Users have a mapped drive to a directory on the Server. Whenever a file is deleted on the mapped drive by a user, it is neither 'caught' by their local recycle bin nor the server recycle bin. Is there a way to make sure that...
