Dropping into drop-down lists

Press "ALT+SPCAE"

Looking for a way to log extended information such as referrer, user agent, cookies and host names (reverse DNS lookup) in Microsoft IIS 3.x web servers?

If upgrading to Microsoft IIS 4.x is not an option, you can use an ISAPI filter to extend the log files generated by Microsoft IIS 3.x. An ISAPI filter is a dynamically linked plug-in compatible with Internet Information Server's programming interface that can extend its functionality. Some of the following plug-ins may support Microsoft IIS 1.x, Microsoft IIS 2.x, Personal Web Server 3.x and other ISAPI compatible web servers as well.

If you're using Microsoft IIS 4.x+ or can upgrade to it, the Extended Log Format option can log above mentioned information as well as other data not logged by Microsoft IIS 3.x and lower versions.

Did you miss the chance to view bootup chkdsk results when your computer rebooted?

Whether your computer rebooted with an error while you're away or you scheduled an automated check disk upon bootup, you might not get enough time to examine bootup chkdsk results. The good news is that Windows NT will save this information in the Events Log.
Open Event Viewer

Windows NT 4.x:
Select "Start | Programs | Administrative Tools | Event Viewer" from the Start Menu.

Select "Log | Application" from the main menu.

Scroll through the events until you see an event with "Autochk" as the "Source".

Double click on the selected event to view the results of previous bootup check disk operations.

Maybe it's hard to win an argument about saving bandwidth these days. Still, the next time you're about to send an email with large attachments, think twice!

If the file you're about to attach to your internet email can be found elsewhere on the net, it maybe better to send the address of that location rather than attaching a copy of the file itself. If nothing else, this will save you some time because your system doesn't have to transfer the large attachment. Also, your recipient(s) can decide whether to download the file or not, where as if you had attached it, they may not have any option but to take the time to download it even if they don't want to.

On the other hand, if you're sending intranet email, it maybe better to attach the file. This is because, unlike with internet email, most intranet email does not have to travel too far on slower links. Also, going out to the internet [from your intranet] to get a file usually takes longer than getting it from a local intranet email.

If you use Windows' "DOS box" (also called "Command Prompt") frequently, you may wish to have a window that has more than 25 to 50 lines. Even if your display isn't large enough to show more lines, you can still have a DOS box that can have much more virtual lines, so that you can scroll up to view the results of a long operation, for example.


1) Open a DOS box as usual (for example, select "Programs | DOS box / Command Prompt" from the "Start menu"

2) Right click on its title bar and select "Properties..."

3) Change to the Layout tab

4) Change the Height parameter under Screen Buffer Size group to the number of virtual lines you'd like to have in your DOS box.

5) Click "OK"

6) Select a way to save the recent changes, if you get a "Apply Properties to Shortcut" or similar prompt.


Now you can run command line programs that output more than the number of lines you're able to see at once. Simply scroll up to see the output or history you missed.

Are you having trouble booting your Windows 95 or DOS 5.x-6.x system after modifying CONFIG.SYS and/or AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Of course, you could try to create a system boot disk and boot from it, but here's an easier way:

1) Simply hold SHIFT key down while Windows or MS-DOS is bootig.

Just as you can add background images to your web pages, now you can add background images to your individual tables. Although Navigator 3.x and lower versions doesn't support this feature at the moment, you may still be able to use table backgrounds to give something extra for Internet Explorer users; without loosing any important information when viewed using any other browser.


<TABLE BACKGROUND="MyTableBackground.gif" >



<!-- rest of the table goes here -->
<!-- without any modifications ---->


</TABLE>As you can see, the only change you have to make is add the "BACKGROUND" tag to the opening "TABLE" tag.

H1 All,

I want to remove the password policy from windows xp but i cant....
Can somebody help me?

Hi arjkhanna,

If you are looking for a way to program a solution you will have problems as the objects for the policy are held deep inside the registry for a local policy and in the case of a domain they are held inside the active directory. To edit them or remove them you will have to learn how to work the registry or the directory services classes.

If you are just looking for a way to remove them you will need to be a local admin or part of the local security groups on you machine.... if it is only a local policy that is implemented. Once the permissions is correct have a look at you administration tools inside the control panel.

For a network solution you will need to look at you Active directory and the policy items on the specific OU or domain that you belong to.

But to finish up for support questions on doing this you should have a look at the windows XP or Windows Server support groups as this group is for the development of windows forms applications, if you need to develop a solution I would try posting in the base class groups.
