  • How can know you if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista?

    I was not aware that the default Administrator account is so easily accessible if there is no password on it. In my view, a standard user has accessed this and it seems that the computer is having a lot of problems now. Is there a way to tell? Needless to say I care that much personal info could acceded as well as commercial information.  Security, 3 administartors (users) appears in some of the boxes, and I only know 2 of them, myself and the default admin?  I'm a recruit of the computer and the other person is somewhat a geek so I could really use some help. I am the system administrator, but don't really know what to look for. I would really appreciate if some wiz could help me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can't find if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista. You will need to set up a password so that no one will be able to access the admin account.

  • Gwetting a list of all virtual machines and used space


    I apologize for my very basic question.

    I need to make a file (better if an Excel file) with a list of all virtual machines in a simple 5.x vSphere infrastructure including 2 VMare ESXi 5.x servers and the disk space used (allocated, used) of each virtual computer.

    The easiest way seems to list the virtual machines from the vSphere client and export the list as a .xls file.

    It seems simple, but when I look at the file I see a lot of missing VMs or a large number of missing values for several virtual machines (just the Runts).

    Is this a problem with my vSphere client?

    I tried to create a PowerCli script using the "Get - VM|" Select-object Name"command, but my limited skills will let me extract the value of the used space.»

    Can someone please provide a sample of PowerCli I can just copy and use?

    Is there another way to get the information I need?

    Concerning

    Marius

    .

    Not knowing that if you have configured a cluster or just stand-alone hosts, here is one simple line...

    Get-VMHost-name | get - vm | select name, usedspaceGB

    From there, you can make formatting, get total usage etc.

  • MAIL - ignore 'Message Font' change and returns by default

    If anyone else here is having a problem where if you replace him do 'Message' by default Helvetica to something else, and he returns with each reboot, the solution is simple. For me, it was happening on my Mac Pro, but my MacBook Pro was very good.

    Go to ~/Library/Preferences and remove com.apple.mail - shared.plist

    OK, scratch that. It did not work.

    I also deleted the file com.apple.mail.plist in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/ without result. After a reboot, it is by default in Helvetica.

    All ideas are welcome!

  • T410S frezze problem. (I read all related to theme and using latest drivers)

    Hi all, I bought a new T410s in Lenovo U.S. online store in January 2011.

    T410s 2901 CTO

    i5 560M

    4G of RAM * 1 (by myself added an another 4G)

    Intel SSD 160G

    Switchable GPU / Intel HD + NVS3100M

    Multi touch screen

    Gobi2000 3G WWAN card.

    Intel 6200 AGN WIFI card.

    OS: Windows 7 x 64

    configuration of base as above.

    I have a problem of frezze despaired of the T410S.  It's totally random. When it's happened, everything is frezzed and the computer is totally dead.

    I read the related topics in this forum, my T410s overheat issue, when it is using integrated graphics, the CPU card

    temperature is about 50 c/122 ° f, the fan speed is about 3000.

    I also installed last site of form lenovo drivers and BIOS of the machine is v1.41.

    I tried:

    Remove the 4G memory that added by myself.   -No effect

    Disable switchable graphics card BIOS.  -No effect

    help ~ please ~  BCZ it's a new machine, I won't ask for lenovo to replace the motherboard.

    Any suggestions?

    I have one of these T410s. He did action gel several times last December. What I did I thought he was the pilot chart + audio driver, because when sometimes a film/youtube is played, it freezes.

    I did download the relevant drivers from the Intel Web site. Then use the device drivers to uninstall lenovo those. Reboot, it will show a screen very ugly as the default resolution of window 7 is low res. find intel drivers and install it, reboot.

    If that fails, uninstall the audio driver and use the default window 7 (from windows update).

  • Get all the layers and apply to other documents

    Hello everyone,

    I'm copying all layers from one document to the other. But just copy paste is not enough for several reasons (root document may already be closed, copy at a time when the new document is not open yet,...).

    This means that I have to remember all the layers and use them later.

    At the moment I am sth. Like this:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    public static std::vector < PIActionDescriptor > layeractions;

    Sub testGet()

    {

    Result PIActionDescriptor = NULL;

    numLayers Int32;

    SPErr error = kSPNoError;

    DescriptorTypeID typeID = 0;

    Int32 docCounter = 1;

    error = PIUGetInfoByIndex (docCounter,

    classDocument,

    keyNumberOfLayers,

    & numLayers,

    (NULL);

    If (numLayers > 0)

    for (int32 layCounter = 1;

    layCounter < = numLayers & & error == kSPNoError;

    layCounter ++)

    {

    error = PIUGetInfoByIndexIndex (layCounter,

    docCounter,

    classLayer,

    classDocument,

    0,

    and result,

    (NULL);

    layeractions.push_back (result);

    }

    }

    Sub testSet()

    {

    SPErr error = kSPNoError;

    Result PIActionDescriptor = NULL;

    for (auto & it: layeractions)

    {

    error = sPSActionControl-> Play (& result, eventMake, he, NULL);

    }

    }

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So what I'm doing, open a doc with some layers. Then testGet(), open new document then testSet().

    But bench always puts "the command 'Make' is not currently available." and error = - 128.

    Hope you get what I'm trying.

    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Who's going to be a difficult path to travel to this topic. Even if you can get all the properties of the active document and the layers within the document, you have not dealt with pixels on a normal layer data. You will need to save this broad as well. And for dynamic objects and linked smart objects... you have a job to do. Any topic of a document is not capable 'get '.

    Trying to cope with this: "document might already be narrow" would be almost impossible IMO.

    Remember, the source document, which is now closed I now want to copy. Then you can do:

    1. open closed source document. (Or make it more if it is already open)

    2. for each layer in the source document

    a. Select the layer

    b. copy of the document target

    3. close source document.

    The Get accessor routines are not for 'read' directly. You must get the interesting bits of information on and then use the game code that you found using listener.

    I do nothing, can solve the problem, I tried to restart at an earlier date to work on the pc, but I had fixed some time back, there is no date of previous work before this? Can someone plese help, I'm at my wits end... Thanks in advance

    Hey all, I met several times before - bit of a design on a flaw in Microsoft if you ask me.  If that's what I think is, you set all files with the extension ".lnk" to start with vlc.exe (or another program).  In short, here's what you need to do, but be careful in the registry.

    Do exactly what the instructions, exactly how they say to do it, and if something seems wrong, get the help of a technician or someone more experienced.  Make a mistake in the registry can make your system unbootable more or less well.

    1. Click on theStart Menu, typeregedit in start search and pressENTER .
    2. Navigate to the following registry branch:

    NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

    Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts .

    1. Delete the subkey namedUserChoice .
    2. Exit the registry editor.

    As much as I would like to take credit for the difficulty, I can't - search this Web site for the theme "icons of Application and extension changed. LNK ".  'MyronH' is the host that the application of origin.

    To the extent where the fix proposed by spankydoggy...  Although the intention seems authentic, notice are a bit dodgy.  Considering of Manhood and the stealth technology in about 800 000 permutationsknown to modern virii / Trojans / malware, the only safe course of action is to back up your data and rebuild your system.  And that says nothing about the relevance of the instructions spankydoggy offers in relation toyour system (operating system, applications, recorded files, etc..).  Follow the advice of spankydoggy if you want, but 10 years experience suspect at best it's going to do nothing and lead you into a dead end and the worst cases - it could make your system unbootable or losing data.

    Best regards and good luck,

  • Computer starts normally but the desktop icons/Dowes/all are unclickable and cannot do something with them?

    My brother has recently installed FireFox on its Windows XP (the only recent change on this laptop). Last night my mother crashed the computer (the only thing she did apparently was click on volume control panel too often making it appear several times, and then go away, she then tried to open the shortcut on the desktop "internet explore", who then tried to load FireFox instead, as it has become the default value). From there on, the computer did not respond, and I could not close normally, so I had put out of service. Today, we have tried several times to use this laptop, but although it loads normally and the Mouse/touchpad moves correctly, we cannot click on any icons or the dowes or whatever it is is completely insensitive.

    Could someone tell me what to do?

    Ok

    Yes, it's more than enough RAM.

    Boot mode safe again and check all entries in msconfig to see from evry time you start.

    Start/run and type

    Msconfig

    Ok

    Startup tab

    Keep the page open, then click on the link below with your other machine. It will tell you what are all the entries and see if you can disable them or not. It will also identify malicious programs.  Turn off everything that is not necessary to run at startup

    http://www.SysInfo.org/StartupList.php

    Read the key at the top of page. Use the search box to check all your entries

    When you restart, you will get a message saying that you have begun in "Selective startup" click "don't show this message again" and then click OK
