I learn the most by fooling around until something breaks and then fixing it.
I've got an XP Pro server and all the ports on my router are full. I learned everything about networking by setting it up and making it work. None of the books that I found were much help.

Sure, heres how I started.
My boss asked me to lock down the workstation, mind you there was no server involved. He wanted to me to restrict different profiles from access different parts of windows.
Example: Admin everything
user1 no access to admin tools
user2 no access to anything except there documents.
Start with that, it will give you a good understanding of user access rights.
Thanks for the tip, however I know how to administer user privelages. for example Denying access to the control panel. Have you or did utilize any books?
thanks again
I suggest starting with Windows Vista as it will prepare you for the future. Although XP will still be the most widely used operating system for the next two years or so.
Cyber.
You might want to check out amazon for great books, you can find those books even cheaper at half.com
Good Luck!

Hello,
I have a shared drive on SGI, Linux, and Windows.
A second call to fopen doesn't create the file if it has been
deleted.
I would like to use fopen for its pointer return value to solve this.

It is not possible with client-side JavaScript.
Some browsers accept the Content-Disposition header, but this
must be added by the server. Taking the form:-
` Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.ext `

Hi All,
I understand in older versions of DB2/UDB this was not possible. The
following article explains how I might do this

Is this still a restriction in version 9.x? I'd specifically like to
restore a backup performed on an AIX server to a Windows server.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
