<# When I click on Start > Run, and type \\192.168.1.68\ It prompts me to enter user name and password. Upon entering the correct name and password, we can access the shared drive on that machine.
After that subsequent access do not need any user name and password, unless we restart the machine.
How do I log off \\192.168.1.68\ and log on with another user account without restart the machine?
P/S: I try to use “net use” in the command prompt(Usually I use net use /delete to “log off” the computer), it just show me there is nothing there.
But if I changed the password at \\192.168.1.68\, it again prompts me to enter user name and password.
I can’t figure out what is the reason…#>
The above is one of the typical question that everybody has I believe, seen a lot of questions on this in EE.
So here is the solution;
Go to Start->Run and type
control userpasswords2
A window will popup and in that go to the advanced tab. Click on Manage Passwords. In there, you should be seeing the entry for the first logon you did. Just delete it.
Then try to again do \\Server\Share, it should prompt for the username again.

Oddly enough people want to have a service installed and name it such that they can remember it on a Windows box. Sometimes it is convenient too to have such a functionality.
So, if we want to just change the DisplayName of a particular service, it can be done from the command line instead of *risky* registry edits.
sc config <ServiceName> DisplayName= <NewName>
Say for the service ‘browser’, the display name is ‘Computer Browser’ and if I want to change it to ‘Cbrowser’, you go;
sc config browser DisplayName= Cbrowser
Now if you want to create a new service of your own which you want to be starting whenever you boot Windows? That is easy as well;
sc create <NewService> binpath= c:\windows\system32\NewServ.exe type= share start= auto depend= “<Any Other Service>”
So people having to do this job on a bunch of computers can get this done by a simple startup script!

Since my friend introduced it, I seem to like the Ubuntu for the reason, it comes with almost all damn drivers
I had tough time with Redhat recognizing the Intel wireless card. But when I tried Ubuntu, it works like a charm (all devices detected). Another reason I like it is because it is lightweight.
I had winxp on a toshiba laptop => literally can boil an egg with that temperature!
I loaded Kubuntu and it is like sleeping when doing what it is supposed to do. Another reason again, is those guys at Ubuntu distribute you *this* *free* OS on CDs to your doorstep.
You can download and you can have them send the CDs to you without any cost. I’ve never seen anybody like that.
There are 3 types of Ubuntu, Kubuntu (KDE Version), Xubuntu (Xine Ubuntu – I like this) and then eubuntu (I’ve never tried this yet)

If you gonna take it easy, this is one hell of a show, I love it and am an Indian too

Like many other Windows users, I’ve been under the impression that using bootvis.exe helps increase the boot speed of an XP machine which was proven wrong today!
One of the experts at Experts-Exchange brought this up in a solution and it is great to know.

Welcome to the New Year.
So it is a common problem to have the WMI (Windows Management Instrument) getting corrupted on machines. Well, what is it? Not a comprehensive answer that I know of, what I know is you get several stuff that isn’t working or erroring out. Usually happens if you fiddle with registry and stuff.
So Microsoft has a WMI Diag utility which will find and fix the problems. Keep it in your tool kit

Wish you all a great & successful Happy New Year 2007 and ahead, as always…
