Hi
I got a problem when the Daylight saving changes apply here in México, the XP systems don't update the hour change, and if we fix the time, after a few minutes changes again to the wrong time. In my personal PC, I fix this problem in a tab page into Date & Time Applet where allow sync the local with a server, disabling this I fix the problem. But here in my company, this tab page "disappear".
Someone know who change this, cuz all our systems in XP works with one hour before.
Thanks

If there's a server on the network, it sounds like the problem is there. If your XP system is set up to sync with a server, and that server is set wrong, it will "correct" your local time regularly. It may be that your missing tab is due to a Group Policy on the network, and you probably can't do much about it.
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this thing thats been bugging me for ages now.
In Windows - before XP - you could rename a folder in the explorer folder view by double clicking on it.
For some reason this is no longer possible in XP, you must select rename from the RMB menu.
Now I can sort of see why since new users may rename important folders, but I WONT!
Does anyone have any idea if it is possible to re-enable double click editing of folder names?
Cheers for any help

Turn off 'Display simple folder view in Explorer's Folders list'.

And for those what want to know more...
Just checked on the web.
From http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=282002
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 282002
Description of Simple Folder View in Windows XP
In Microsoft Windows Explorer on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, the following behavior occurs under the new Simple Folder view:
When you click a folder in the Folders pane, it is automatically expanded to show its subfolders.
When you click a folder in the Folders pane, other expanded folders are automatically closed.
The dotted lines that normally connect the folders and drives are not displayed.

Can anyone give a good definition for thread?
or any reference that I can take a look?
|

Assuming you mean thread in the context of software development (and not in the context of forum posts & resonses or fabric)
Here is a deffinition from Sun[^]: A thread--sometimes called an execution context or a lightweight process--is a single sequential flow of control within a program. You use threads to isolate tasks. When you run one of these sorting applets, it creates a thread that performs the sort operation. Each thread is a sequential flow of control within the same program (the browser). Each sort operation runs independently from the others, but at the same time.
And some information from Microsoft[^]: Operating systems use processes to separate the different applications that they are executing. Threads are the basic unit to which an operating system allocates processor time, and more than one thread can be executing code inside that process. Each thread maintains exception handlers, a scheduling priority, and a set of structures the system uses to save the thread context until it is scheduled. The thread context includes all the information the thread needs to seamlessly resume execution, including the thread's set of CPU registers and stack, in the address space of the thread's host process. [This article goes in to much further detail and states when and when not to use threads and so on]
Does this help? (If you're still unsure I've got a few analogies I recall from my Concurrency lectures back at uni [although that was 8 years ago])

I Installed Windows xp pro and redhat linux.9 later in my PC and each time my system booted with the boot file of linux I tried to install windows xp again and it change the boot file so I can't work with the linux because it change the file boot.ini
How can I return the linux

|
|
|
|
Boot again with the linux installation cd, and repair the already installed copy. In perticular re-install the copy of GRUB/LILO.

I Want the way that Not needed to the installation CD cas i Lost it too!!

See http://www.tprthai.net/bootmgr.htm[^]
[EDIT] Windows XP no longer requires that BOOT.INI is marked with the Hidden and System attributes, but it won't show in an Explorer window unless you uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" in Folder Options. [/EDIT]

I am relatively new to System Level Programming. Hence i dont know anything about it.
Can you please tell how to make a process a Windows NT service ?

It depends on what development technologies you have available. With .NET it is relatively simple - MSDN: Creating Windows Services[^]

If so, what tool do you use?
I host multiple domains on my IIS server (running Win 2003 server).
I need a tool that can tell me how much outgoing traffic each domain has used.
I need to be able to set bandwidth limits and have the site shut down when their monthly bandwidth is exceeded.
I also need GNU licensing or open-source or other Freeware.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

I installed 2 win2k system one in c: and other in D: (there is a good reason to install 2 win2k ).
now at the bootup a menu comes up asking to select one of the os, now both shows 'win2000 prof blah blah' now is there any way to rename these entries, so that the menus look more meaningful?

Login to any one of the 'win2000 prof blah blah'<br />
Right click 'My Computer'<br />
Select the 'Advanced' Tab<br />
Click on the 'Settings' button for the 'Startup and Recovery' section<br />
Reboot the system
If this doesnt work or if this seems to be complicated then,
Open the 'boot.ini' file in your c: drive
Edit the file (at your opwn risk)<br />
Reboot the system
