• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Limited User acess problem in Windows XP

    It's extremely unlikely to be and issue with the OS... Unfortunately, there are a large number of people that run as admin on Windows boxes, so many software houses don't fully check that their software will run as a normal users. I'm sure this will all change with Longhorn and LUA, but that...

    Purpose for ASP.net .

    ASP.NET is part of the .NET framework that is used to create dynamic web pages within IIS. When the .NET framework is installed on a machine with IIS, ASP.NET is set up as part of the install (IIRC, if IIS isn't installed, ASP.NET is installed, but not registered\set up). One of the layers...

    Microsoft Bakes Windows AntiSpyware into Vista

    First off, I agree with you about notpad and edit being two completely different apps. Functionality they are similar but they are by no means the same app. That said I was the one describing the removal of the Windows shell. In my origional post I said I removed the GUI, that was poor...

    Microsoft Bakes Windows AntiSpyware into Vista

    Sorry, should have been more explicit. There were two shells available, command shell and windows shell. I told it to remove the windows shell and all it's dependencies. That removed explorer and any thing that depended on explorer. The resulting version of windows is very similar to what...

    Microsoft Bakes Windows AntiSpyware into Vista

    That really depends on the version of Windows. Anyone that’s used XPE knows how modular Windows actually is. Just for kicks and giggles I removed IE once; it checked the component dependency tree and informed me of the other components that would have to be removed, and then it happily did...

    OS Install Strategies

    Network boot requires that you have a server set up on the network so that an OS can be pulled down. For more info you can start here. Since the hard disks in most notebooks are easily upgradable, the easiest method might be to simply pull the disk, grab and adapter from the local shop (or...

    Microsoft Bakes Windows AntiSpyware into Vista

    The vast majority of spyware is installed by users. Of the remainder, the vase majority is installed as a result of never updating the machine. I agree that it should be made more difficult for a user to keep themselves vulnerable to a virus. But I completely disagree with the notion of...

    just back from E3. PS3 pwns all consoles!

    Well, since current games don't usually don't eve use half of the available space on the current DVD disks, it's kind of a mute point right? I mean if they wanted to put more content in there, they could do it anyway without having the more expensive disks.

    Xbox 360 actually more powerfull than PS3

    uhhh... A single voodoo 2 is not the same as a single 6800 Ultra. Both PS3 and Xbox 360 are using a 3.2Ghz PPC cores for the CPUs. Xbox has 3, while PS3 has 1. PS3 has 7 additional cell procs that can used for specific purposes though. edit: orginal source

    User permissions in WinXP?

    > how would you go about setting a directory to allow a guest account to read/write and have it not wiped out? You would have to have an directory outside the normal profile space (outside of "%SystemRoot%\Documents and Settings"). Ideally this would be on another drive, but if you only...

    Keep it serious please... Java or .Net

    > Trying to reinvent them doesn't work, because people keep wanting to rip out goodies. And replace them with things that are much better. :P One example? CAS. Learn it, live it, love it. I won't run programs from the internet unless I can run them in a partial trust loader. It's not...

    User permissions in WinXP?

    Just keep in mind that it wipes everything out... I do some software testing and every once in a while I use the guest account to ensure things work. It always kind of irks me that when I log out everything is wipped out. If you end up using the guest account, I would reccomend that you...

    User permissions in WinXP?

    Installing any programs, even malware requires write access to an install location. If you force usage of the guest account, users won't have rights to install malware. Specifically those IE named objects that people tend to install usually require access to the HKLM registry hive, which...

    User permissions in WinXP?

    Just put passwords on all accounts other than the guest account. The guest account doesn't have write priveleges to the system drive outside of some temp directories and the "%systemroot%\documents and settings\guest". Thus the only place they could install a program is to thir local...
