Change the Local C drive letters
* Original title: assignment of drive letters
When I installed Windows 7 (home edition) earlier, I tried to assign the letter D for the reader, but the installation process would not allow this and kept failing the letter C. can I change this to D now?
The reason why I need to do this is that I have a program more former that works only under DOS and it will not run on any other drive except C.
I have a 'plug-in' (auxiliary) drive that is already formatted for FAT32 and I want to give this the letter C so that I can run my BACK from that program.
This sounds like a practical solution that can be made without too much trouble?

LOCAL USE OF HARD DRIVE D: AS AN EXTENSION OF THE LOCAL C: DRIVE
The office is a Dell Optiplex GX260 with Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3. The local disk C: drive only has 1 GB of available space remaining and the local disk D: drive is not formatted and has never been used. Two local disk drives show in my computer. The local disk C: drive has a NIFS file system while the unformatted local disk D: drive has a RAW file system.
I would like to know if it is possible to format the D: drive and use it as an extension of the local disk C: drive, that is to say with the same function as an external hard drive. I assumed that it has the same capacity as the local disk C: drive, which is 20 GB. The object is to copy and delete a sufficient number of emissions from local drive C: to D: local hard drive so that I'll have 8 to 10 GB of space available in local disk C:
Details of any change in firmware and driver coding, etc. it will take, if any, would be appreciated.
It is possible to just open the program files in local disk drive C: and copy paste every program chosen for local disk D: in my computer drive, folder then delete the copy Aquamatic program files in the local disk C: drive which is free disk space in the local disk drive C and would not affect those programs in the control panel? If it's more complicated than that, comments would be appreciated.
This is based on the assumption that the computer will recognize programs in local disk drive d and use them as necessary, as if they were in the local disk C: drive
Thank you
Hi Notfinished,
What you try to do, is use your second hard drive for some of your files and possibly applications. I suggest that you format the drive D: to NTFS. Easy to move to the D: drive would be My Documents, as described HERE. The same would apply to my music, my pictures, etc. Applications can be moved easily. You will need to reinstall the application and during the installation process, select the D: drive as destination. For many applications, this involves the use of the option "Custom Installation".
Let me know if you have any other questions.

* Original title: Windows 7 - letters card readers
I have a laptop computer when it is in a dock, it will have two hard drives connected. It will also in most cases, a USB flash drive connected in and out of the dock.
These discs are used for the back to the top of file transfer and I always wish to have the same assigned to them to drive letters.
When I was with Windows XP, the computer remembered the mapping and each player has been located at the same place every time. However, now I've upgraded to Windows 7 and is not only the computer remember the drive letter every time, it disconnects regularly readers.
My question is: is there a way to the assignment of drive letters, such as the computer will remember each script will travel the same with every new beginning?
I can live with it disconnect readers, but it is precisely an effort to use disk management to change the drive letter for each reader, whenever a re-start of your computer.

You are aware that usb keys are not designed to stay connected on the start or stop, because there is a possibility of resulting corrupt file

Please see image attached. Responses from the eyes of local folders as responses to the discussion groups. No signature or formatting options. How can I change the local folders meets regularly, as they are in the Inbox?
I don't think that the format of replies to the messages in the local folders are linked with focus groups or to individual account settings. As local folders can contain messages between several accounts or identities, it is more likely that formatting uses the setting of the account or identity appearing in the: field when you reply.
This is how I think it should work. How this works in practice may be different.

CountrymanHello
You will need a compatible CD/DVD player.
Not all readers are supported due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
ODD, that uses wrong settings will not be recognized by the BIOS.You can buy a compatible player to a Toshiba ASP in your country.
You can also consult your user manual.
In my manual, I could find some information on the compatible sides -

What would prevent a local administrator to change the local policies?
The problem occurred on a workstation XP (svc pk 3) within a W2K3 domain. It is the only station working (103 others) which I can't distance in via mstsc since my post (also under XP svc pk 3). I went (work to) the workstation and connected as a local administrator, and then have pulled-up gpedit so that I could change the local user rights policy for "Refusal to logon via the Terminal Services" to remove the Everyone group. But the two buttons are grayed (add user or group, and delete). After reviewing several other local policy settings, I found that they also had their gray button. I then tried the same thing connected as a domain administrator. No joy. The same problem. I couldn't change the local policy settings through my domain administrator account or the local administrator account. So I checked the default domain and all policy policies assigned to the ORGANIZATIONAL unit in which resides the problem workstation account. All of these policies had the "Deny logon via the Terminal Server Services of' value 'undefined '. Is it possible that one of our administrators changed the permissions on a registry key where the policy settings so that only he could change local policy on this box? Or is there another explanation?
I found the solution. I had to give administrators complete control over HKLM\SECURITY. Once I made this change I could once more change local policy. Now, I need to implement a method to push this change for all our workstations...

Change the local administrator passwd in a technical object of personalization
Hello
I would like to enter an existing CustomizationSpec and change the local administrator password before deploying a clone, but I don't want to change the stored specification or create a new.
I tried:
$spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec MySpecName
$spec. ExtensionData.spec.Identity.GuiUnattended.Password.plainText = $true$spec. ExtensionData.spec.Identity.GuiUnattended.Password.value = 'newpass '.Then, I deployed a clone using $spec, but I can not connect to the clone with the new password or the original source VMs (blank) password.
Can it be done without the help of the New-OSCustomizationSpec cmdlet? -I'm not really a real spec created in the database that I have to delete it later, in large part because I would have to enter new credentials in the script domain user, or pull of an existing spec (don't know if it works well)
I used PowerCLI 4.1 build 332441 U1
See you soon
Mark
You will need to provide a VirtualMachineCloneSpec to the CloneVM_Task method.
Here you can to place the CustomizationSpec, which is part of the CustomizationSpecItem.
The following script is what you asked for.
$vmName = "SourceVM" $vmNewName = "NewVM" $baseOSCustomizationName = "test" $newAdminPswd = "newpassword" $vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName $folder = Get-Folder -Name vm -Location (Get-Datacenter -VM $vm) $cust = Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name $baseOSCustomizationName$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.CustomizationSpecItem$spec.Spec = $cust.ExtensionData.Spec $spec.spec.Identity.GuiUnattended.Password = New-Object VMware.Vim.CustomizationPassword $spec.spec.Identity.GuiUnattended.Password.plainText = $true $spec.spec.Identity.GuiUnattended.Password.value = $newAdminPswd$cloneSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec $cloneSpec.customization = $spec.Spec$cloneSpec.poweron = $true$cloneSpec.template = $false$cloneSpec.Location = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec$vm.ExtensionData.CloneVM($folder.Extensiondata.MoRef,$vmNewName,$cloneSpec)

Change the local iPhone backup file by default on PC
I have a HP PC with Windows 10 House 11 flow. iTunes allows me to change my storage location of media on the F drive which is a 64 GB sd card. I don't see a way to change the phone backup file local saving by the c-drive location. I don't have enough space on the C drive to store the backup file for my 32 gb 5 C I found a support article on how to copy the backup file and move it in its entirety in order to not corrupt. I can't do this due to a lack of space on the SSD of 32 GB. Where iTunes to be saved.
Is it still useful to keep a local backup file if you save on iCloud?

can not type lower case letters to change the password, only uppercase letters come
When I change a password and that you have to copy the letters and numbers, I can only type the capital letters, why don't appear lowercase?
Hi Claudia,.
I seriously doubt the problem has nothing to do with your keyboard itself (unless all the problems of cap occur in other places as well and on other websites and in internet like Notepad or Word or other programs), but is a matter of how things work and is designed by the designers of web sites on the sites you use. What you are dealing with is called a Captcha in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA. While this "capital" may occur on that specific page or site, I sincerely doubt it occurs on all sites that use such a feature - you are not using or never seen a site where it works differently. Here's a number of things that may help to explain why you're facing what happens:
1. the process is based on captures the difficult to read characters in a text box to verify that a person is on-line here and improve the safety of bots. Different programs use different features and things to code differently.
2. some Captchas are case-sensitive and others not (it depends on the product purchased or how it is programmed on the web site, or both). Usually if it is case-sensitive I saw him say that this is the case in small print under the image.
3. in programming, web page designers can usually decide whether to make case-sensitive entry (or just the sight of it appear uppercase, even if correctly entered in uppercase and lowercase letters), but often cannot control if or not the presented images show images that is case-sensitive. If they want it is case-sensitive, then the text box must accept case-insensitive letters (even if they do not appear like this) or entry will be denied.
4 if it is case sensitive, but the images are not, then a way around this problem from a design perspective is for box only accept letters in some cases and set the distinction uppercase / lowercase to only allow the entry of this case. To make it easier on the user and prevent calls it does not work, they can control the input box, it allows only uppercase letters and define the uppercase distinction / lowercase to require that all capital letters. So even if you can see the image in various cases, the box allow uppercase be entered which will allow the program to accept input.
5. If it is not case sensitive, so they can always set the box to show only uppercase (for some reason any) which works perfectly for any deal is registered in this situation.
6. If you are having problems with entry and suspect the acceptance of capital letters only is the cause, then try several images more before hitting the panic button. Sometimes I find that I have to try 4 or 5 (they often have a switch button to choose an image that you think you can read correctly when the original or other choices are harder - I sometimes have trouble anyway even with my reading glasses and still need to try several times before it works)-then do not immediately assume that it is a rather simple design flaw being able to read the wretched things. If some that there is a problem, try contacting the technical support web site support team. They may be able to pass the image of recaptcha or reset your password (if you probably will not then be able to choose).
7. This may be a function of the browser used. Before assuming, is the keyboard (which is very likely if it occurs in a text area), try using another browser like some pages work differently with different browsers. If you usually use IE, then download Firefox, Chrome or Opera and see if the same thing happens. If so, it is probably not the browser.
8. at this point, if you can not access due to it (forget the 'problem' if it allows you to enter and go beyond it despite showing all caps - it is not about you and is not a problem) and the website can not help, try using a different keyboard. If it's a laptop, try a USB keyboard and see if that solves the problem or access the form from accessibility keyboard in Control Panel and see if it works. If Yes, then you may have a keyboard problem. First, update the driver of keyboard, firmware and/or software by the manufacturer of the computer or keyboard manufacturer, being sure to use the downloads for your machine and your version of Windows. If this does not work, you may replace the keyboard, although it also works very well - but I doubt very much that will occur or prove to be the case, unless you have more problems associated with the keyboard that just that.
Somewhere along the way, you will discover that this is not a problem or find the cause of the problem (it is really not that many options beyond what precedes that can cause this kind of thing and not be found using ideas, tests or methods above). I'm almost ready to almost guarantee that you don't really have a problem, or one of them will be identity it and depending on what it is, give you an idea where to go next in terms of resolve.
I hope this helps. Again, I think you're very probably see how the site and not a real problem unless you can't access, after at least half a dozen tent (and perhaps someone else is who has best eyesight to try as well) and technical support of the site people confirm what is happening shouldn't happen.
Good luck and best wishes.
