Acrobat Professional tells me (through the Examine Document function) that a PDF file contains "deleted hidden page or image content." How can I undelete or view this deleted content? Neon Merlin 00:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm currently using a desktop Windows XP Home Edition, SP2, and an Apple MacBook at home. They're connected with a basic wireless router. I was easily able to configure the PC to connect to the Macintosh and access its files, but I have a harder time getting the Mac to find the PC. The only way I've been able to achieve it thus far is by disabling the Windows Firewall. Is there any way to configure an exception to the firewall to allow my Mac to easily access the PC's files? Thanks! -- McMillin24 contribs talk 03:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
-Try clicking Start -> run and enter "wscui.cpl" and press enter. A Security Centre page will load, Click Windows Firewall and then the Exceptions tab at the top. In here tick the File and Printer sharing box and click OK. Once done windows will happy share your files to the network, but make sure you have a router which doesn't share your netbios port (port 139) or anyone on the internet who knows your IP address will be able to browse your hard disk. A good way of checking this is by visiting http://www.grc.com and use their Shields Up firewall tester for free. Hope this helps, Phill Upson (support@expertrepair.co.uk)
If anyone can either answer my question or direct me to where to get more info, I'd be most appreciative.
I have a large flat file database in Excel2000 which includes a bunch (2000 or so) hyperlinks with anchor text. I'd like to upload the whole thing into Access2000 but it turns the hyperlinks into plain text (showing the anchor text, not the web addresses), and changing the field type from text to hyperlink isn't available in the import.
So... I'd like to figure out a way to do this. The way that seems most obvious is to remove the anchor text in the excel file so that I can upload as html, but I'm open to other solutions. So, how do I remove the anchor text to reveal the URLs? Or how do I do this another way? Thanks in advance. Anchoress 03:20, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Have you tried the "Replace all" function - but I understand that it won't help you with the part of the URL code that you want to replace that changes with each one - instead you'd need something more dynamic to do that - where it could say "Delete everything after the '>'". Check the link above from TotoBaggins which seems to take care of what you're looking for. I'd be able to help you otherwise by writing up some code, but I battle a bit with VB - so worst case come back here and I'll write it for you. Rfwoolf 13:10, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Request for clarification:
If you want me to come up with the VB code, please clearly explain what you want. Is this correct:
The cells in Excel contain hyperlinks and the raw code for each one reads
<a href="http://www.example1.com">Example1</a>
and you want to extract it to say
www.example1.com
Is that correct?

I want to make an adult website, but don't want anyone to be able to trace it back to me. Is there any way to get a website without giving out my name, credit card numbers, or phone numbers? I wouldn't want to necessarily make a profit, and I wouldn't want one of those "payment required in order to view the site". Banner ad support is okay because I need to no go into debt because visitors. I guess I should also say- I only want to be anonymous because I'm very shy-- i'm certainly not trying to be criminal or anything, so I'm don't care if the police or FBI or legitimate authorities have the ability to trace the site back to me, I want to make sure that nobody else can find out who I am.

hi, well,it is a homework question,and I googled for the answer too but couldn't get any useful information. to be more specific,this partioning is for Windows XP's FAT and NTFS file systems. so plzz provide me with the answer.
a somewhat-recent edition of the wall street journal featured an article that talked about rogue sites posting television broadcasts and the like ... in order to bypass all the advertising one has to sit through in order to watch the same content on the "official" network sites. Two men were named. Does anyone remember the names of the men, also is there a link to the article somewhere on the net for free? I dont remember the publication date and i dont have the paper anymore. NoClutter 14:40, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Is there a general way to send an email to a group, with the group members thinking that they are receiving it individually? In other words, the recipient's address will be the only one on the email, but it will go out to a group of people. Thanks. 150.174.104.137 14:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I have two hard drives: we'll call them Drive 1 and Drive 2. My installation of Windows is on Drive 2. For historical reasons, the boot drive is Drive 1. Presumably (bootloaders confuse me, so I might have something wrong) when the BIOS starts it looks for a bootloader in the MBR of Drive 1, which then boots the NTLDR on Drive 2, which in turn boots Windows.
Setting the BIOS to boot Drive 1 works fine. Setting it to boot Drive 2 leads to an error message, presumably because there is no Windows bootloader in the MBR of Drive 2, so naturally nothing can boot.
Now, I want to format Drive 1 so I can install Linux on it (yes, yes, hold the cheering), but presumably formatting Drive 1 would remove the MBR and stop me being able to run Windows. I know GRUB should be able to boot Windows, but in case of any problems I'd rather that I could just boot Windows off Drive 2: but I have no idea how to install a Windows bootloader on the Drive 2 MBR.
Any ideas? Sum0 16:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to install, say a web browser, onto a single user account on a Win XP PC with multiple users, so that only that one user will be able to use it?
The reason I am asking is because certain software become defaults and open themselves for certain file extensions. Is it possible to make it so that it will only 'exist' on one account?
Thanks in advance. Skumbag - 酢薫バッグ 18:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
