Article ID: 555540 - last review: December 28, 2005 - revision: political 1.0__Setup of password in Windows XP

I'm trying to implement password policy in Windows XP Home Edition.  I want the password to expire in 90 days.

I followed the instructions in this article by using a Windows XP Home Edition.  I used the command 'net accounts' before and after the step to add an entry to register and each time the net accounts shows the password max being ' unlimited. The only change I made to the registry was entered MaxPasswordAge.

I restarted the system after making changes in the registry and it has not made a difference.  Does anyone have this done successfully in Windows XP Home Edition?  One thing I noticed is that the 'Network' directory did not exist in the registry then I added this directory (folder) and then added the MaxPasswordAge entry in the directory.  Any thoughts?

Have you tried to put the password using the command "net accounts" rather than the registry?
NET accounts /maxpwage:90

Refer to the Microsoft Description of Net Accounts command.

    After the last update (December 15, 2015) to Photoshop CC (2015), at startup, the little splash screen comes up for a few seconds, then closes.  Photoshop just never came up, and there is no error message from Windows (8.1, fully patched) or Ps.  I look at startup in the Task Manager, I see Photoshop.exe come during these few seconds, then disappear.  While the splash screen is in place, and briefly showing the msgs little progress, happens to one that says "shared components... Initializing." "whereupn it closes.  Everything was working fine yesterday (before the update), and the update process actually all went well for a change, with no error message it is.  The platform is a Toshiba Qosmio laptop, and as far as I see it, there is no update for the graphics drivers, etc.  All other programs (including Ps CS6) work very well.  Suggestions?

  • axe 2005 HP pavilion g6, I want to install windows 8. I ordered recovery discs and it's on the way

    Hello

    I bought HP Pavilion G6 2005 ax. I want to install windows 8 on it.

    The device comes with windows 7 Home Basic preinstalled.

    He has only two partitions. One for e OS and one for recovery.

    And it's annoying to use as such.

    I tried to take recovery disks, but failed. And sentenced to HP recovery disks and they passed on to the

    recovery disks, which is part of the way.

    Installation of windows 8 is safe? can I return to Lacrosse, OS, recovery thorugh disks?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello:

    Yes, Windows 8 will work on your laptop, and Yes, the recovery disks will restore your PC to its factory condition.

  • The link for the last group of fixes for 11.2.0.3.0 64-bit windows

    Hello
    Platform: windows 64-bit
    Oracle 11.2.0.3 database

    Successfully, I have improved my 11.2.0.1.0 to 11.2.0.3.0 oracle database and the upgrade worked fine.
    I installed the 11.2.0.3.0 in a new oracle home.

    Now, my task is to install the latest version of the patches on the oracle group new home (make sure database up to date with the latest patches, in fact).
    I'm confused with the available documentations in my oracle support.
    CPU is now regarded as a subset of patch of the PSU, I think I must apply the last power supply only. Is this correct?
    Is there a step by step guide to apply the latest patch? I saw there are 5 PSUS out (plus late 11.2.0.3.5), do I have to apply each of them or just the final?

    Please give me the latest available patches/patch(Still not clear) installation guide group and links to download latest patch available.

    Thanks a lot for all the help so far through its forum... its so useful and I thank the people who make quick responses.

  • last muse installed update, now shows the creative cloud with spinning wheel window that never stops. My muse is over.

    cannot find out how to contact Adobe about this. I am paying for Muse and cannot use it. @

    Mike you will find the relevant part of the document below:

    Solution 2

    Delete the file OPM.db and reconnection in the desktop application of creative cloud using the Adobe ID associated with your subscription.

    • Mac OS: You can locate the file OPM.db in the \User\\Library\Application Support\Adobe\OOBE folder. To access the hidden user library folder, see library user access hidden files. Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
  • How to use the search to find the file that contains specific text?

    In VBA, I use the following statement to access the indicated procedure:
    Public Declare Function QueryPerformanceFrequency Lib "kernel32" _
    (ByRef freq As Currency) As long

    So I guess that the string "QueryPerformanceFrequency" exist in the c:\windows\system32\kernel32.dll, namely in the entry point symbol table.

    How can I use Start > search for the dll file in c:\windows\system32 which contains "QueryPerformanceFrequency"?

    (Of course I know the answer in this case.  This is an experiment to determine the model for other research.)

    But when I use Start > search to verify that the operation does not find anything.  At first, I said:

    Finally, I even tried kernel32.dll in the file name field.  I even tried to "queryperformancefrequency", where the search is case-sensitive.  I do not believe it unless this search is selected.  (I don't).

    Indeed, to test my basic understanding, I created a txt file with "queryperformancefrequency" between text and research found the file when I specified the folder containing the file (look in), nothing in the field file name and "QueryPerformanceFrequency" in the field of Word or phrase, voluntarily with different 'cases '.

    This experiment has succeeded.

    FYI, the user account for my computer with administrator privileges.  In addition, kernel32.dll is not marked read-only (of course).

    It resembles the method 2 in of Article ID: 309173 - last review: December 1, 2007 - revision: 4.3 has the desired solution.

  • Am I X 86 running or X 64 version of Windows 7?

    You have encountered problems when you move data via the USB port on Windows 7 etc etc... "NVIDIA USB chip set and have at least 4 GB of RAM"... I'm not sure which file to download as suggested by HP.

    Very well.  You will see the "C:\Program Files" and "C:\Program Files (x 86)" in your installation of 64-bit and it is quite normal.  Some of your applications will be 32 bit [such as Office 2007] and Windows installs in the folder "C:\Program Files (x 86)".

    My Dutch pages went.  I changed a default without realizing.

    Other Councils to stick to a 64-bit hotfix are everything is correct.  As well as the additional use of 32 bit Java for IE [32 bit IE is still the default on x 64 systems and will remain so for some time].

    Hello gardeneva,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Regarding the patch you downloaded for KB 950750, you may have a corrupt hotfix package or can you download the bad patch for your platform.

    There are three platforms for download:
    x 86, x 64 and ia64.  Is your platform a 32-bit or 64-bit?

    The fix should detect which system you have.
    For example, on my system:

    We have detected that you are currently using a browser that has these attributes:
    Platform: x 86
    Language: English (United States)

    At this point, you can ask to download only the file to my system or you can view all three packages.
    Please see if you can copy the file downloaded on another system and try to unpack.  Or try to download another package and see if you can decompress this file. What do you use to unpack the file?

    If please post again and let us know if you are able to unzip the file and install the strongest hot or if you need further assistance.
