  • 1. How do I get Explorer to open to a specific folder?
    In Win XP, I used the /e parameter to open Explorer to C:\. This doesn't work in Vista. How do I do the same thing in Vista?
  • 2. Separate partition no longer advisable for user-created files?
    On my new Vista Home Premium box I was planning to locate my user-created files (docs, pictures, music, and such) in a separate partition, as was a pretty straightforward and usual thing to do in XP. But complications soon emerged in Vista when I began experimenting with relocating personal folders using Move on the Location tab in Properties view, so I started hunting around on this forum for more information. The impression I now get is that using a separate partion in this way is probably no longer an advisable practice in Vista - not, at any rate, if it means having to do additional registry tweaks to eliminate duplicated Documents icons etc., AND with the likelihood that it could cause problems for legacy software programs. I'd be very interested to get some more expert views on this.
  • 3. Windows Search Won't Start
    I can't get Search running. Attempting to manually start the service yields this Search error message: "Windows could not start the Windows Search on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -2147218141." Any ideas? --Nevet
  • 4. Search across links and junctions
    [I first posted about this a month ago, never got an answer] Vista search won't search across links and junctions as made with mklink /d and mklink /j (at least not in unindexed locations, I don't know if the indexer follows them or not). Is there anything that can be done about this, a setting maybe?
  • 5. Can not open folders in same window.
    Vista Premium. Folders will not open in same window although I have ticked box under folder options. HELP (please) -- Dogspool

file permissions: can this be done?

Postby bobob21 » Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:57:30 GMT 

Hi

To limit the effects of a potential virus, I want to do the following
for the Limited User account:

1) all current files and folders in My Documents can only be read.
Contents of files may not be modified. No items may be deleted

2) however..... new files/folders may be created in My Documents. These
user should have Full Control over these files.

Then once a month or so, I run a batch script which changes the
permissions of all newly created files (items under 2) to become more
restrictive (1)

I thought this would be pretty simple, but somehow I cannot get this to
work. It is driving me crazy.

1.I lost my Read/Write permissions too w/out doing anything I am awa 

Help please... Yesterday, I first learned about this problem when I opened my 
Limewire but then an error message that I've never seen before appeared 
saying:
"Limewire was unable to write a necessary file because you do not have the 
necessary permissions. Your preferences may not be maintained the next time 
you start Limewire, or Limewire may behave in unexpected ways."

I just ignored it thinking that perhaps on my next Limewire startup, it 
would just disappear. But, another incident happened this morning that made 
me take that error message I saw in Limewire more seriously. It was when I 
wanted to update my Microsoft Encarta 2007 program (which is common and 
regular), however for the very first time too, I was shown this "ACCESS 
DENIED" error message telling me this:
"You do not have permission to Update Encarta. Please verify that you have 
ddministrator privileges (Read/Wire permissions) for your computer. See the 
Windows Help documentation for more information."

I went to check my User in the System Tools under Computer Management just 
to see if my administrator setting was actually removed, BUT IT'S STILL 
THERE! And I can't think of any recent change I've made in my pc that 
could've possibly make my READ/WRITE PERMISSIONS disappear??


What can I do to solve this??? Please help... ='(((

2.C00D1199 - I have done everything I am supposed to Chris Lanier 

I have seen many posts here regarding the 1199 error message.  I have read 
Chris Lanier's advice as well goiong to his blog for more help.  I have had 
this problem since I rece'd my new Dell with WMP 10 - I had been using 9.  I 
am downloading videos off the web with the extension .wmv, which I have never 
had trouble playing.  I have downloaded videos from several different 
websites, residing in many different countries, therefore I cannot imagine it 
would be a codec that they are compressing the video with that is causing the 
problem.  Additionally, none of their websites mention needing a special 
codec, just WMP 10.  I have also been to Microsoft's downloads page and 
downloaded the available codecs for 7.4 and higher.  Ironically, I can watch 
the videos in a streaming format while on these sites but not once downloaded 
to my computer.  Any help would be much appreciated.

3.Am I doing something wrong? 

I have posted 2 questions today, both seemed to have a 
reply but the message box is empty. Am I doing something 
wrong, or is it somebodies idea of fun?

4.So, what am I doing wrong? 

I'm new to Server 2003's Media Services 9 but I need to ask a potentially 
dumb question. My music I'm streaming across my LAN (using a WMP10 activex 
control), I converted my MP3s that were 320kbps (I like sound, alright!!) to 
MP3 at 192kbps. Alway, the track(s) plays fine until about 10 seconds towards 
the end it sounds quite distorted, for some tracks it does this every so 
often throughout the playing of the track. It could be when the volume 
increases. But I'm not sure. 

Can anyone help me? What should I do. Now, please remember I'm a beginner at 
this so don't shout at me and use bad language. I'm trying to learn, OK?! 
Ciao and thanks in advance.

5.Stupid question: what am I doing wrong? 

I got a whim to try to host my own website this weekend.  I've got
residential DSL and Win2k.  So...

I've installed Apache 2.0 with PHP (4.3.4 I think) and everything is
going great.  No problem with install, or anything else.  I am running
DynDNS and DYNsite for Windows to redirect.  Here's the stupid
question:  When I type in my address, my computer doesn't answer. 
Why?  I know I need to make some adjustments in the Local Area
Connection to convince my computer to respond.  Any thoughts?  You may
tell me to RTFM but please direct me to the most appropriate manual,
thanks!
