Sure, there are several ways. Probably the easiest way is to put a batch file in the local user’s startup folder. Each user profile has unique items in the start menu, including the startup folder. Placing a batch file in there that maps drives, printers, etc. will only run when the local user logs on. If you need a more elaborate script, you could use WSH (VBScript or JScript). There are some things to consider, such as permissions. Just any local account won’t have permission to access domain resources. In most cases, "pass-through" authentication will work. That means creating a domain account that matches the credentials of the local account and assigning permissions for that user. It usually also means checking the box so that the password never expires for both the domain user and the local user - otherwise password changes would have to be synchronized. There are security concerns as well, and whether or not to override domain or company policy is a call that would have to be made by each individual organization.]]>KURTISWed, 11 Feb 2009 12:47:27 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/domains2/reader-challenge-february-2009#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/reader-challenge-for-october-2008-and-september-reader-challenge-winners#commentsAnchorSat, 04 Oct 2008 19:58:38 GMT
"C" is a more accurate answer than markwit’s. After you’ve determined what service is being "hosted" you must then revert back to the fact that "svvchost.exe" is an executable which opens various applications from C:\Windows\System32 (for 32 bit systems). Each instance it has opened is an application containing "DLLs"or Dynamic Link Libraries. The applications are indeed windows services and each service has its own set of DLLs. Calls to svchost.exe originate from within the kernel to determine which windows service to "execute" from System32. There are some".inf" files in System32 that you as Administrator are authorized to "execute" with a simple manipulation of the file name. But I won’t go there!]]>CarsonSat, 04 Oct 2008 19:58:38 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/reader-challenge-for-october-2008-and-september-reader-challenge-winners#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/reader-challenge-for-october-2008-and-september-reader-challenge-winners#commentsAnchorFri, 03 Oct 2008 14:12:39 GMT
None of the above! C. is the closest since svchost does launch all Windows services as needed. The easiest way to determine what service is being hosted is to run an instance of ’Process Explorer’ (from Sysinternals -- a Microsoft subsidiary now) and simply read the tool tips associated with each instance of svchost.]]>MarkFri, 03 Oct 2008 14:12:39 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/reader-challenge-for-october-2008-and-september-reader-challenge-winners#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-xp2/august-2008-reader-challenge-and-july-reader-challenge-winners#commentsAnchorSun, 10 Aug 2008 09:01:37 GMT

I would take a look at MS Groove for these ad-hoc scenarios. Groove can synch files securely across any type of network. Also, only the person creating the Groove site needs to have a license - everyone else can use the trial version as long as they like to receive/send files. It is at least worth a look. Overall, Groove is a prettly solid option for ad-hoc scenarios (IMHO).]]>ToddThu, 05 Jun 2008 22:49:06 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/tips/june-2008-reader-challenge#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/how-to-strip-formatting-from-word-text#commentsAnchorFri, 16 May 2008 03:30:01 GMT
Actually, it seems that Mail Cleaner Express is nowhere to be found now and the Mail Cleaner for Windows at bluechillies cleans very little. I found the one I had been seeking: eCleaner v2.02 and although Steve Chin stopped developing it 5 years ago, it’s still the best I’ve found, with many options to control how & whether the text is stripped of html, > marks, CR/LFs, etc. It can be found on his page at http://ecleaner.tripod.com/ or at PC World http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,6492-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html also http://snipurl.com/eclean202]]>DavidFri, 16 May 2008 03:30:01 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/how-to-strip-formatting-from-word-text#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/how-to-strip-formatting-from-word-text#commentsAnchorThu, 15 May 2008 23:12:49 GMT

It sounds as though you might appreciate Mail Cleaner Express. It’s even better than the one I was looking for. On my Win98 system (now dead) I had one that opened a text window.

Thanks for a simple but useful tip. It also moves table rows. Just for the record, there is no difference between Shift+Alt and Alt+Shift. I couldn’t resist trying Shift+Alt with the right and left arrow keys. There is an improvement from Word 2003 to Word 2007. Both demote or promote headings.

Question #1: There are 16 IRQs, however only 15 are availble for use due to the addtion of 8 IRQs and one original being reserved for uplink from the original 8 to ones added on, so 15 would be the answer for this question. B. 15 Question #2: While it is true the very old video cards needed an IRQ assigned to them, it is the video that does not use an IRQ. B.

#1 - C. Less than 16 can be controlled in the BIOS settings, but there’s more in use on the board so I guess the answer is 21. #2 - B. But in some cases you did assign an IRQ to a VGA card. #3 - C. I guess if you plug in another board it can have interrupts for its own use, but they don’t extend the motherboard IRQs. As to the last paragraph, not sure the problem has gone away at all. Very recently I had to pull a new NIC because of a hardware conflict with a multimedia card. In fact whenever I start filling up the slots of a PC something breaks. Recommended solution is to swap cards around, but that can be extremely frustrating and time consuming. Give me a motherboard with pretty much everything on it and I know I won’t have to worry about IRQs.]]>LanceFri, 04 Jan 2008 02:32:19 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/network-interface-card-nic/reader-challenge-for-january-2008-and-december-2007-reader-challenge-winners#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/network-interface-card-nic/reader-challenge-for-january-2008-and-december-2007-reader-challenge-winners#commentsAnchorThu, 03 Jan 2008 23:36:26 GMT

@surehope Just because a solution is simple, doesn’t mean we would have worked it out for ourselves. It is actually quite simple, but I did have to read the initial problem again to understand the solution. You have a single column containing the totals of each item, plus a subtotal for each group in-line in the same column. You want a nice easy way to get a grand total for all items. Running a SUM() over the whole column will also include the subtotal values, resulting in 2x the actual total, since item values are counted in subtotals and individually. Therefore the quick and easy solution is to total everything and divide the result by 2 to get the actual total. Wouldn’t work if you had multi-level subtotalling...]]>CliftonThu, 18 Oct 2007 15:19:46 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/tips/another-microsoft-excel-trick#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/tips/another-microsoft-excel-trick#commentsAnchorThu, 18 Oct 2007 15:06:02 GMT

Thanks for all the great comments providing additional helpful info! Seems like Kathy’s advice is oriented toward things you can tell your end users to do (as opposed to what a more technical IT person would do). End users have a variety of preferences about how to get to the tools and apps they need to access; some will be happy to set up hotkeys for everything, others will be happier with a bunch of desktop shortcuts. Speaking as an end user, I’m kind of in the middle--hotkeys for some stuff, desktop for others. (I can only remember so many key combinations!) I suspect that your typical end user would balk at doing much of anything from the command line. I like stalar’s suggestion of creating project folders and shortcuts to those.]]>AnneTue, 24 Jul 2007 09:44:24 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-client/easier-access-to-handy-tools#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-client/easier-access-to-handy-tools#commentsAnchorSat, 21 Jul 2007 00:34:19 GMT
I agree with the posters - let’s not clutter the desktop. In fact, I have NO shortcuts on my desktop. I use Win-e,f,r for explorer (to my computer), find and run. However, I have gone to the max with hotkeys - I use autohotkey (www.autohotkey.com) to set up hot keys for many, many things. Win-d will open a command window. Win-T will start my daytrading program, Tradefreedom. Many more - There are perhaps 50 or so on my system. Of course, nobody else can use them, but it’s my computer. Everything can still be started from the start menu, but it’s not near as fast. The keyboard is my main input tool - it runs in Dvorak and the keys are NOT staggered - Typematrix 2030DV. I have a Center Enter !!]]>FalconSat, 21 Jul 2007 00:34:19 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-client/easier-access-to-handy-tools#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-client/easier-access-to-handy-tools#commentsAnchorFri, 20 Jul 2007 01:06:50 GMT
The reminder is useful, but I’ve been using those tips for years. Here’s another. The problem is that the desktop becomes cluttered by too many shortcuts, and it is often hidden by program windows. I can’t put too many items in the Quick Launch (QL) either, since it steals space from the taskbar. So how do I get easy access to frequently used programs and documents? 1. Right-click Start and select Explore (or Explore All Users). In the folder Start menu, create folders named e.g. My project1, My project2, etc. 2. In the new folders, create shortcuts to documents and tools belonging to those projects. You’ll find the new shortcuts by clicking Start and moving the mouse to the appropriate folder. 3. Consider making shortcuts to the project folders on the desktop and the QL, for easy access in three ways. 4. Consider also a fourth way: making shortcuts in the folder Start menu\Programs\Startup.x. That will open an Explorer window for each project on every logon. When installing a PC for a user with fewer tasks, I take these four steps with just one folder, which I name our language equivalent of "Frequently used". It contains shortcuts to general tools and applications such as Explorer, Command prompt, e-mail, etc. The user can add his or her own favorites.]]>LarsFri, 20 Jul 2007 01:06:50 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-client/easier-access-to-handy-tools#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-client/easier-access-to-handy-tools#commentsAnchorThu, 19 Jul 2007 14:10:23 GMT

Why would you go to all that trouble to get an Explorer window that opens the C drive by default when you can just right-click on Explorer.exe in the Windows directory and select Send To Desktop and get the same thing? I do like this method for making shortcuts to other drives, however.]]>PATThu, 19 Jul 2007 11:54:54 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-client/easier-access-to-handy-tools#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-client/easier-access-to-handy-tools#commentsAnchorThu, 19 Jul 2007 11:47:30 GMT
Think about what you’ve written at the start, Kathy. Now let’s add in that the "Print" icon has been removed from the Word 2007 toolbar - to say nothing about obscuring access to other commonly used functions in the rest of Office. How about the backing away from the concept of the GUI altogether with the emergence of the Shell as the preferred (and in some cases necessary) Admin interface for Exchange 2007 and Server 2008? The need for the gyrations necessary for ordinary MS user access and functionality is increasing - and nobody says a word.... More so than ever, MS programmers are programming for other programmers.

This can be done in Excel - create the Folder (call it Excel Favorites) in your user profile. Do File, Open in Excel and browse to the Excel Favorites folder you made and highlight. On the menu bar, click on Tools, Add to My Places. To add the shortcut in Excel Favorites: in Excel, do File, Open browse to the file, right click and choose Copy. Open Excel Favorites and choose Create Shortcut (not Paste). That you have to go through this at all shows yet again how Microsoft simply doesn’t pay attention to how its software is actually used.

Just to let you know -- a POP server in the e-mail context stands for Post Office Protocol. I’m not sure where you got the "Point of Presence Server" from. Also, not every company maintains a POP server like you mentioned in your article. I believe a lot of companies use Microsoft Exchange server and require their end users to use Microsoft Outlook as their e-mail client (as opposed to any old POP3 e-mail client).]]>AlanThu, 19 Apr 2007 19:16:34 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/understanding-email-settings#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/understanding-email-settings#commentsAnchorThu, 19 Apr 2007 16:24:02 GMT
This is a well-meaning article, but I think it does little to help clear up non-professional email user confusion. The article fails to address POP vs IMAP mail services. In my experience most business mail servers are configured for IMAP or IMAP and POP while most ISP servers are configured for POP only. Web access is usually supported in either environment. Also: non-professional users are sure to be confused by the fact that accessing their mail via POP will result in their mail being deleted from the server unless they specify otherwise in the mail client configuration. This means they aren’t going to be able to access their downloaded messages once they’re back in the office. My recommendation is that staff access their personal email accounts via the ISP’s web client when they are away from home. It is by far the simplest method and requires the least knowledge on the part of the user. One last thing: last time I looked, POP (in the mail server context) stood for Post Office Protocol.]]>DavidThu, 19 Apr 2007 16:24:02 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/understanding-email-settings#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/desktop-management/what-users-need-to-know-screen-captures#commentsAnchorSat, 17 Mar 2007 19:38:37 GMT

Thanks Kathy - I was beginning to think it was just the staff at my workplace. I’ve been here nearly 10 years so haven’t had a large amount of experience with different user-bases. The bulk of our staff just couldn’t be bothered with learning about how to use their computer, some learn enough to be really dangerous and a rare few actually get it right but hide their knowledge as a result of peer pressure. And I’m not limiting this to non-IT staff - our Helpdesk is fostering this within the corporate culture.

Shortcuts can make users stupid too though. I do not promote shortcuts because often times users forget how they would have gotten to where they want to go in the first place. I had a phone call once where a user deleted a shortcut and sat around for hours because they didn’t know how to get to the server. Also we have browsing issues when users use too many shortcuts. I’m not sure why but the browsing latency goes away when I take the shortcuts away.

This behavior generally occurs because the Add New User Wizard is used to add existing domain users to local groups. It cannot be used to create a new local user account. To resolve this seemingly strange behavior, use the Local Users and Groups snap-in to create a new local user account on a computer that is a member of the domain. You will then be able to gain access to the Local Users and Groups snap-in by either of the following methods: 1. In Control Panel, click User Accounts, click the Advanced tab, and then click Advanced to start the Local Users and Groups snap-in. 2. Right-click My Computer, click Manage, and then browse to Local Users and Groups. Although this behavior may seem to be somewhat strange at first experience, it is a "Security" feature built into the Windows etal o/s.

I’m not sure this is proper method to respond to the monthly challenge, so please correct me if it’s not. Nothing happens on a workstation in a Windows environment without the proper LOCAL permissions. Domain Admins are added to the LOCAL Administrators group by default when a machine is joined to a Windows domain. That does NOT mean that this cannot change. Users "protect" their systems all the time by "cleaning up" the Administrators group (this is why we use the Restricted Groups policy in Active Directory). Bottom line, only local administrators can add new accounts to the local machine.]]>JCThu, 03 Aug 2006 11:59:17 GMThttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/windows-client/august-reader-challenge-and-july-reader-challenge-winners#commentsAnchorhttp://www.sqlmag.com/article/file-systems/november-2005-reader-challenge#commentsAnchorFri, 11 Nov 2005 01:19:39 GMT
