  Do you mean the name of a Windows of a remote computer logon account? There is more than one because Windows 7 allows multiple concurrent interactive sessions. In any case, this could point you in the right direction:

  PsExec \\NameOfPC cmd.exe / user: YourUserName
  PsLoggedOn
  The first command will not work unless you have an account admin on the remote machine.

  My guess is you want: Windows > workspace > new workspace to establish a personal arrangement of panels and other elements.

  After you set up the workspace with the panels you want in the setting you want, use the command above.

  You can restore this workspace if, at some point you rearrange panels, etc.

  Hello

  Can anyone advise on where to find the drivers?

  I have a laptop Inspiron 640 m.  It has been upgraded to Vista (which I absolutely hated) by Dell, so I took it upon myself to reinstall Windows XP.  Needless to say I now have terrible problems with drivers.

  I get the 'Assistant new hardware detected' for the following drivers;

  -Ethernet controller

  -network controller

  -video controller (vga compatiable)

  -sm bus controller

  I can't what to install on the Dell site.

  I downloaded the something which was means to have drivers for Inspiron 640 m, but it failed, so I thought I'd do a separate download... but I had no joy.

  Anyone got any ideas?

• Is there a way to find the length of a line, not a column

  I'm trying to find the length of a particular line in a table... is it possible?
  I don't mean length of the column value... I can get by using LENGTH (COLUMNNAME)
  I'm not average line length, I can get extended calculation or using the trace file.
  Please let me know if there is a function, that allows to calculate or any other solution.
  
  Thank you!

  >
  (1) select avg_row_len from dba_tables
  where table_name = 'abc ';
  I got the length of the average line like 65
  That means 65... It is 65 bytes/KB/MB, or what exactly is 65?
  >
  This means that 65 bytes - see ALL_TABLES in doc database

  (2) also a member of the team of mine use this query:
  SELECT sum (data_length) FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE
  table_name = 'ABC ';
  and divided the result above with the number of rows in this table

  Suppose that gives only the length of the average column type... is not our requirement?
  >
  At best, that would give you the MAXIMUM length that COULD be a line. It will not help at all. For example all columns defined as NUMBER (with any precision or scale) appears in the form of bytes 22 since they can take a lot. And a VARCHAR2 (4000) will be listed as 4000 even if it is NULL or if the average length is 2 bytes.

• Is there a way to find the IP address associated with a device that is currently using my Apple ID?

  Hi, is it possible to find the IP address associated with a device that is currently using my Apple ID? There is a device currently using my Apple ID, and I would like to know its IP address. When I connect to appleid.com, the device is listed. The device is an iPhone. It is an emergency situation. Thank you.

  Unless it's on your local network, the IP address won't be useful to you in any way. (and no, you can do that)

  If this is really an "emergency", inform the authorities.

  Am a little confused about the need to "transfer" of data to an external source.

  Or is it that, after the upgrade to windows 7, the data is then "transferred", back on the computer newly improved?

• After the OS from Vista to Windows 7 upgrade, lost bookmarks. Could they be somewhere in "windows.old"?

  Hello

  I upgraded my OS from Vista to Windows 7 and lost bookmarks, I had in Firefox. Back up my documents files and they are OK. Unfortunately, I don't think to back up my Firefox bookmarks.html file.

  However, I did the upgrade of the operating system from the disk and a "windows.old" folder has been created which seems to have a lot of my old files, applications, and others, but I can't find "bookmarks.html" in the firefox folder or in my user folder.

  Is there another place in windows.old where bookmarks could be, or a different file name, it may be under?

  Please help, there are a few important bookmarks that I lost and which were accumulated over several years.

  Thank you!

  Firefox has not used the file bookmarks.html for storage of bookmark since the release of Firefox 2. You need a JSON bookmark backup file or the file places.sqlite. See this:
  
  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

  Your old profile is located here in Windows Vista and Win7:
  
  drive: \Users\Windows login user name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profile_name

  You may need to display 'files and hidden folders' in Win7 to be able to access the Firefox profile in windows.old files and the new installation of the OS.

• Copy the Contacts from Vista to Windows 7 Contacts Possible?

  I have a new desktop under Windows 7 Home Premium. Before the death of my old desktop (Vista 32 Home Premium), I was able to copy my Contacts folder to a backup drive. Is Vista comes in contact with the same type of file as Windows 7 contacts? Is it possible to copy contacts from Vista to Windows 7 contacts folder? If this is not the case, how would I go about importing the contacts? Thank you!

  Hi Fallstar,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  You can import the information book or contact address of several formats used by other programs, convert them for use in this version of Windows and store them in your Contacts folder. You can also convert your contacts to other formats by exporting. Allows you to share them with people who use an earlier version of Windows or a different operating system.

  However, you must download Windows Live Mail in order to perform the steps listed in method 1. To download windows live mail on windows 7 click on the link below.

  o LDIF (LDAP server). This format is used to import information from LDAP directory servers directory.

  o vCard (VCF file). This is the most widely used contacts format.
