By starting IE with the -extoff option, problem went away. Then disabled add-ons one by one & found the culprit: IE7Pro has an option under Base Settings for "Open new tab from address bar" unchecked that & now am ok. Thanks for pointing the way.

When ever I type in a site's address that is different than the current tab's address (e.g. I am on www.microsoft.com and type in www.yahoo.com) the new address opens in a new tab, instead changing the current tab's address. What setting would change stop this from occuring?

I am an administrator on the machine & I have shut down & installed the updates on many occasions, but the icon never appears. This machine had updates blocked by a domain policy (my machine very rarely connect to the domain) & I was able to get it to its current state where the updates are...

I am missing the automatic update icon in the system tray telling you that updates are available for installation. When I go to Start > Shutdown there is an option to shutdown & install updates. Updates are set to download automatically, but let me choose whe to install.

Is there a way to edit DCOM settings, like Default authenication level, default impersonation level, default access permissions, and default launch/activation permissions, i.e. stuff on the default properties and COM security tabs of DCOMCNFG, via vbscript?

Every example for adding to the IE context menu(like this one) use Jscript. When I try to use VBScript & msgbox instead of the Jscript alert, I get a "permission denied:msgbox" script error. Works... <SCRIPT> x=alert external.menuArguments.document.URL);</SCRIPT> Doesn't work <SCRIPT...

Here are links to MSDN: showdisplay,showstatusbar,videoborder3d These are all boolean values & appear to have no effect when the user has Media Player 9 (I have MP9 & changed values w/o any change on what is displayed).

A file or registry entry could be created when the script runs & destroyed when the script ends. But before acutally creating the file or entry, the script would check for the presence of the file/reg. entry. If it is there, the script must already be running.

I have found a better way that gives the EXACT memeory amount: Set WMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") set Results=WMI.ExecQuery("select * from win32_PhysicalMemory") RAM=0 For Each Memory In Results RAM=RAM+Memory.Capacity/1024/1024 Next

On the W2K Scripting Guide at http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/2000/server/scriptguide/en-us/sas_wmi_dieu.mspx in listing 6.1 there is a script example for displaying the amount of memory installed in a machine. The results given are in KB. When divided by 1024 to get...

No, it doesn't. I have a laptop w/a wireless network PCMCIA card & a integrated NIC. I have both set to use DHCP, but usually only 1 will be in use (i.e. if I am wireless, I won't use a CAT5 cable). So, both show up w/DHCP being enabled. The unused adapter has an empty IPAddress array. If I am...

WinZip & WinRAR have command line access. http://winzip.com/prodpagecl.htm http://www.rarlab.com/rar_archiver.htm (see the 3rd feature)

Is there a way to write a WMI query such that it finds only the network adapters w/IP addresses that are not blank & TCP/IP is enabled? Since the IPAdrress is an Array of addresses, the following doesn't work: select * from win32_Networkadapterconfiguration where IPEnabled=true and...

Is it possible to find out whether a machine is in a workgroup or domain & then name of the workgroup or domain by VBS? The script doesn't need to look at remote machines, just the local machine the script is running on.
