    Enforced Password Changes with NT4 and W98?????

    Hi, I believe you can also disable password caching, then the PWL files will not be saved. I believe you do this in your system policy. This should work. I was having a security issue with users cracking the PWL files with a password cracking program, therefore i enforced frequent password...

    RUNDLL ERROR ON BOOT UP

    Found the problem, I didn't realize that tweakui had placed a link in my startup folder called autoplay extender. I'm not sure what this application does but the link was not working, i deleted it and the error message stopped. Dooh! I should have checked the obvious first. I checked the...

    My user policy won't work!!!!!

    Hi, If your clients are win9x then your policy file should be named config.pol and saved in the <ntroot>\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts folder.(If you use a BDC make sure you replicated the file on that server as well. If your policy is based on groups then support for group policies must be...

    File / New

    Hi, A safe way to edit this list is to download and install Tweak UI. It will place an icon in your control panel, when you run the applet, there is a &quot;NEW&quot; tab that allows you to simply check or uncheck any of the file types listed in the new menu. It will also allow you to make a...

    HELP!! can't delete file

    If you're sure this is not a file that is needed, then press [ctrl]+[alt]+[del] and end task everything except systray and explorer (repeat this as many times as needed to end the unwanted tasks). Once you have all of the background applications ended, try deleting the file. It sounds like the...

    Previewing images in windows 98

    Tried it and it worked! Still can't preview gif files but i can view jpg files which is mainly what i wanted. Not to concerned about the gifs not working. I have a gif animation program registered to open gif files, this may have something to do with it. Thanks RickSpr.

    Time changing in Win98

    The computer doesn't lose time, it gains time. If i turn off my computer it retains the time and the date, however it jumps ahead while i'm using the computer. Some times a few hours, then a little later it jumps back an hour or so. I checked my regional setting and United states (english)...

    Correct Hard Drive size not being displayed

    Another thought, make sure your bios is detecting the drive correctly. Older bios version may not be able to detect a 20 GB drive. If this is the case you may need to update your bios. As well, you can still run fdisk without actually partitioning your drive. If it shows that you are not...
