I followed the directions on the net and had my "only administrator account" in my computer hidden by doing the "regedit" stuff(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current version\Winlogon\SpecialAccount\Userlist>>>and I added a key).

High performance HTML5 content in Metro-style Apps
by Guest ieblog- 0 replies
- 111 views
Metro style apps in Windows 8 have all the performance benefits of IE10 when showing Web content. In Metro style apps, Web content is always JIT compiled and hardware-accelerated. Other platforms do not provide the same level of performance in apps. For example, Cocoa apps on iOS offer significantly worse JavaScript performance (via the UIWebView control) than the same content running in Safari. These Cocoa apps do not enjoy JIT compilation, and these apps cannot show and use Web content the same way the browser on the system can: Testing configuration: http://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html. iPad: 1st Gen, iOS 5.0.1. Windows 8: Developer Preview, Dell O…

Temporarily Stop/Disable Essentials
by Guest DougVehle- 0 replies
- 117 views
I was hit by a trojan, http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Exploit%3AJS%2FPdfjsc.B The scanner got it as it attaked, but the attack went through. I'm trying to restore to previous, but something, I guess the scanner, keeps it from completing. The Scanner has popped up and warned it stopped SOMETHING. Until the restore is complete, I don't have some files or any of my links/favorites in IE. Is there a way to temporarily disable Essentials long enough to complete the restore? Continue reading...

Printing Problem between Win7 x64 and Win Vista x32
by Guest SJMP- 0 replies
- 123 views
We have two users that are connected via VPN. When both were running xp/vista x32 no issues with printing to shared printer. We have replaced the xp machine w/ Win 7 x64. So I went on the Vista x32 machine and added the x64 driver for the printer. Went back to the new Win7 machine removed and re-connected the printer. This time I got the message that it needed to download the driver and it did. I figured that would solve my problem. I do not get access denied - it works for a day and then stops. One thing I noticed is even when the job goes through I never see it appear in the print queue on either machine. Not sure what to make of it. Any suggestions I am stuck..…

USMT from XP Fails due to Temporary Local Service Account
by Guest MikeD001- 0 replies
- 195 views
I know USMT fails out if it sees a Temorary Profile. In this case, I am running into a series of machines where the Temporary Profile that ios causing USMT to fail is the Local Service account. Yikes! How can I fix this or work around it? If I find a temporary user account, I just delete it and off I go. But I don't want to do this with any of the system accounts. Any ideas are appreciated. Regards, MikeD Continue reading...
