I have Windows 7 in my office. We have Windows domain. I have created several drive mappings to shared drives. They used to work. Now, whenever I reboot my PC, they have red x on them. I can click them and reactivate them but when I shutdown and power backup or restart...they go red x...

Hi All.. Sorry about sort of double posting however this is a more defined question on what to do. I hope it's ok :-) I have a group of people who are using a remote desktop program and all their actions must be logged at a central storage. That's no problem however my users should not be...

Win7 is driving me nuts. I just tried to link Audacity to the lame_enc.dll mp3 encoder, but it couldn't find it in c:\windows\system32, where it was (according to xplorer2) and where it was supposed to be. I had to move it to another folder before the link would happen. I'm the only one who has...

This morning, while attempting to move some files around my Windows 7 64bit laptop began telling me that I didn't have permission to do so, as I needed permission from the "TrustedInstaller". I googled this issue and resolved it by configuring permissions. Feeling a little suspicious I decided...

I'm not sure whether I'm being constantly attacked or my computer caught a virus. Whilst being online at a known network, my system got 'hacked' (unsure about the use of words as it was by someone i knew) and apparently created an image of my hard drive (which I was trying to stop during the...

Win7-64 HP OEM on a new desktop at my home and used -only- by myself ... Win7 and I are new to each other. I've heard that it is a good idea to run a user account in my circumstance and avoid using the Admin account for the most part. That's what I've trying to do, and it is a sizable...

I have an Admin account and a Guest account. I've worked out how to share folders (not just by using the "Libraries > Public" section) -- I right click a folder, go so Share With > Advanced Sharing > Security > go to Users section > select Full Control. That way both accounts can play and save...

Hi all... I'm not "that" dumb in networking but not an expert either andI'm having trouble with a 4 desktops workgroup in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I'm not using the Win7 workgroup functionality but rather trying to share the folders I want using properties/sharing. I've posted this question...

I'm a programmer and I'm trying to create an app or shortcut that runs a user as an already logged on user (switch users), but also leaves the application running on the privileged users desktop? I cannot use a service, it's out of the question as this is a 3rd party app, and no I don't want to...

It seems no matter what I do, Windows 7, obviously my superior, won't let me. I wrote an app in VB6 for a client. It writes data to text files and creates pdf files. If it runs on Windows 7 (and apparently Vista), it throws a 'file/path access error' and won't complete the job. This is a...
