    I just started with scripting and I noticed a basic drive mapping script does not hold the mappings after a restart. Is there a way to make a script like this permanent or are they mainly used to perform tasks at boot time? Example: Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")...

    BackUpExec V. 9.1: Compression stopped working

    On the Dell forums it looks like many people are having the same issue with this line of drives. My BUE SGmon log shows hardware compression being turned off, never on...even if the job is set to hardware comp. I will approach this from a driver/firmware direction. Dell appears to not have...

    Books/Videos for beginning VB student

    Books/Videos for beginning VB student

    I am reading a "Teach yourself in 24 hours" type book which seems to just drop you in the deep end quickly. Is there a tried and true or "holy grail" book for beginners?
