Hi, I want to install new version of Windows Desktop Search, but most of my users have the Deskbar turned off and just use the little magnifying glass icon next to clock. Is there any way to install the new version with this setup by default, or retaining the old settings on the PC? Thanks Steve

Performance of System Calls
by Guest Michael Shire- 0 replies

Is there a calculation that I can do to determine a threshold for "normal", "warning", and "critical" states for the number of system calls per second? Background... Take a look at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/win2003/perfmon.mspx It discusses using WMI scripts to monitor performance. One part of the article discusses "System Calls per Second". How do I know when the value that comes back is "good" or "bad"???

Vista Turn on or off feature dialog empty
by Guest scottieyoon@yahoo.com- 0 replies
- 174 views
I'm having issue displaying features in Windows Features dialog. The list is empty. I followed the KB article by MS but that didn't help at all. It asked me to delete a registry key but the key didn't exist so delete failed. There was a post to start up Windows Module Installer to remedy the situation. The service in my box has started already, however, it is set to manual so something must be turning it on at boot up. I'm running as "admim" on all attempts. I even tried UAC on and off but no help. Anyone else having the same problem? I hate to reinstall everything. So far, Vista is not working out for me. I wish MS can provide licensed XP until Vista …

BusinessWeek Online - Ask the folks at T-Mobile USA why most people switch mobile-phone providers and they'll tell you it's not because of poor customer service or high-priced call plans. Consumers' main reason for seeking a new carrier? They can't get good network coverage inside their homes, where anywhere from 27% to 41% of all wireless minutes are spent. Link To Original Article
