But what you don't realize is how many non-techy people do visit these forums.
And I can tell you have never worked Help Desk Support.
Have any idea of the number of people who think they know something,
then you throw the magic down and they say,, and I quote "hunh? how did you do that?" "What was the problem?"
and what I want to say... "I don't know, you tell me, you think you know so much." <,, But I can't unfortunately.
Trust me,, you would be supprised at the power button question... "Please turn off the PC so we can shut it down." ,,,, waiting alloted time..... "ok,, turn it back on."
"The same thing is on the screen...." ,, You mean you are at the login screen?" ,, "No, the exact same things are on the screen." ,,, Did you hit the power button on the PC or the Monitor? ,,, The monitor,, isn't that what you asked?"
So,, thier questions a lot of times are truly legit.
However,, you also have idiot,, off the street,, non-techy people working on some Help Desks that rely on Scripts to tell them how to fix a problem.
Regardless,,, any way,, there are steps you can take to be a true admin on a 7 box.
