I'm unable to locate the WORKSTATION. Where should I look?

I'm unable to locate the WORKSTATION.  When I had windows 98 that was on my desktop but on my new computer, it is not and I don't know how to locate it.  I'm not computer savvy, so I would appreciate if possible very simple instructions.  Thank you kindly.

In Vista, 'My Computer' is called 'computer '.  'My computer' no longer exists except as a junction file for backwards compatibility--a folder you will never need access to and shouldn't try again. Click Start (the ORB round to the left of the toolbar at the bottom) and look at the buttons on the right next to the screen.  We'll tell the computer.  Click on that no matter what you are in Windows Explorer at a very high level.  You can also click on your user name to go directly to your user profile, or you can click on Documents to go to your user documents.  You can check all the links on avialble at your leisure.

If computer (or other default Windows desktop icons are missing, here is an article on how to recover: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/restore-missing-desktop-icons-in-windows-vista/.)

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    You can delete the entry start and the error using Autoruns.

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

    Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

  • Unable to locate the output interface...

    Hello

    I configured a VPN of Lan Lan 2 and it works fine.

    VPN use IKEv2 authentication and certificate.

    Computer 1 can reach 2 computer without problem.

    Computer 1, I tried to access the intellectual property inside 2 (ping, AMPS...) but I get this error: unable to locate the output interface

    I do not understand why I can access computer IP 2 but not intellectual property inside 2 people 2 IPs are on the same network and packets go through the same features...

    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks for your help,

    Patrick

    Hello

    I imagine that the two devices we're talking about are firewalls Cisco? I mean the VPN devices.

    Firewalls Cisco do not allow ICMP behind an interface to another interface on the same device. The only exception is when traffic is coming through VPN and enter a configuration command specific to the device that you're trying to ICMP behind a VPN connection.

    So if 1 computer needs ICMP inside 2 then the firewall with 2 inside interface must be configured with the command

    access to the administration

    Same configuration is required on the other firewall if 2 computer needs ICMP inside 1

    It can also be NAT associated configurations that may require changes, but it depends on the level of your firewall software which we don't know.

  • Can not activate sharing / "unable to configure the workstation server.

    Everything was going well until I made the mistake of upgrading to 12.1.1 build-3770994 12.0 (?)

    For some reason any sharing became disabled after upgrade.

    I can't activate the sharing, I get "unable to configure the workstation server.

  • FRm-40741: unable to locate the plug on block 11

    Hi all

    I use this custom property defined when press the button Search "FRm-40741: unable to locate the plug on block 11" error getting.

    If: XXEAM_SHUTDOWN_DETAILS. WF_STATUS = "Not sent yet!" then
    Set_Custom_Property('XXEAM_SHUTDOWN_DETAILS.) WORK_ORDER_NO',: SYSTEM. TRIGGER_RECORD, "ENABLED", TRUE);
    Set_Custom_Property('XXEAM_SHUTDOWN_DETAILS.) ESTIMATED_START_DATE',: SYSTEM. TRIGGER_RECORD, "ENABLED", TRUE);
    end if;


    Please give me any other property for record wise work instead of Set_Custom_Property.

    Kind regards
    Maha

    Finally, I had a few minutes to play with my sample form and found out that Andreas is correct when he said:

    SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY does not have the number of the logical record as a parameter, but 'the physical line number' in the layout.

    In my example of form, as I scrolled items folders "Enabled" has not changed with the records.

    *@Maha,* my apologies. In order to apply the desired effect, you will have to imitate the enabled property for each record by using a combination of the Set_Item_Instance_Property() WATERWAY integrated, INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED and VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE (optional) properties. Because you change many properties, I so wrap it in a procedure called ENABLE_ITEM and past the point, the file number and activate settings. For example:

    /* This procedure assumes you have a VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE                 */
    /* created called 'ENABLED' and 'DISABLED'.  In my example,           */
    /* I created the DISABLED visual attribute with following properties: */
    /*  Foreground Color = DarkGray                                       */
    /*  Background Color = gray12                                         */
    /* The ENABLED visual attribute does not specify any properties so it */
    /* sets the above properties back to                     */
    PROCEDURE enable_item (inItem VARCHAR2, inRecord NUMBER, inEnabled BOOLEAN )IS
         paramCount     NUMBER := 0;
    BEGIN
         IF ( inEnabled ) THEN
              Set_Item_Instance_Property(inItem, inRecord, INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
              Set_Item_Instance_Property(inItem, inRecord, UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
              Set_Item_Instance_Property(inItem, inRecord, NAVIGABLE, PROPERTY_TRUE);
              Set_Item_Instance_Property(inItem, inRecord, VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE, 'ENABLED');
         ELSE
               Set_Item_Instance_Property(inItem, inRecord, INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
              Set_Item_Instance_Property(inItem, inRecord, UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
              Set_Item_Instance_Property(inItem, inRecord, NAVIGABLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);
              Set_Item_Instance_Property(inItem, inRecord, VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE, 'DISABLED');
      END IF;
    END enable_item;
    

    You then call the ENABLE_ITEM procedure in your code, passing the name, registration number and activate (true or false) disable your element. For example:

    If :XXEAM_SHUTDOWN_DETAILS.WF_STATUS = 'Not Submited Yet!' then
       enable_item('XXEAM_SHUTDOWN_DETAILS.WORK_ORDER_NO', :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_RECORD, TRUE);
       enable_item('XXEAM_SHUTDOWN_DETAILS.ESTIMATED_START_DATE',:SYSTEM.TRIGGER_RECORD, TRUE);
    end if;
    

    Options François and Steve mentioned are also good ways to do this as well.

    Sorry if I confused the issue earlier.

    For those who suggested to use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME.) Nom_element', ACTIVE, PROPERTY_FALSE), do not forget the cascade effect of assigning false to the ENABLED property of an element. When you ACTIVATE your story later, you must also set the properties MODIFIABLES NAVIGABLE, UPDATE_NULL, true.

  • Where should I look for a freelance programmer develop a filter of PhotoShop for me?

    I need to hire a programmer (freelance) to develop a PhotoShop plug-in filter. I am in the area of the Bay of SF, but unfamiliar with the industry. I know that I need a person skilled in C++, algorithms, PhotoShop SDK and Mac platform. I don't know where I should be looking to find a person qualified or business.

    A search on the web for PhotoShop programmer bring up what I need. A Craigslist search under computers came not with anyone with PhotoShop plug-ins programming experience. Sites such as Freelance.com, GetACoder.com, etc., provide some answers and all are 'off-shore'.


    Where should I look (preferably Bay Area)?

    You would probably get a further request in the Photoshop SDK forum, where the developers hang out.
