I have UAC disabled (of course). But now any time I manually start a new process through the "Run" dialogue, or the New Task option in the task manager, it says "this task will be created with administrator privileges." Now hold on there cowboy, if I wanted cmd to be running with administrator privileges I'd use Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Is there any way to get "Run" to start programs with normal admin-level-but-not-really (the vista equivalent of a 'sudoer' I suppose) privileges? For that matter, am I automatically running everything I click on as an administrator since UAC is disabled? -- froth t 04:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I am trying to fill out an online application as a cashier and I have been asked what my speed in 10-Ket SPM is. The exact question writes, "Please note your speed in 10-Key in SPM:". Could somebody graciously clarify what 10-Key SPM is? Google finds nothing, and other search engines do not either. Thank you. -- Wilhelm Von Hortzweneger Über der Hügel [ 216.178.50.184 04:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC) ]

I hear that vista performs abysmally after an in-place upgrade from XP. File locations are unreliably virtualized to different locations, settings are lost or misplaced, it's a mess. But how about upgrading from one version of vista to another? I'm not talking about the streamlined Anytime Upgrade but rather a full Upgrade installation to ultimate. I know it's possible but messing with windows setup is a big deal and I want to know if vista will weird out on me if I try it -- froth t 06:15, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
What's the cheapest registrar to buy a .fr domain name?-- Sonjaaa 07:55, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Back in golden times of yore Netscape Mail would display (for each mail folder) both the total number of messages in that folder and the number of unread (in the left-hand panel. The display would look something like:
Now Mozilla Thunderbird just displays the total unread, and if none are unread there no number at all after the folder name. Is there an option (or failing that an extension) which restores this welcome behaviour? Thanks. Harmonation 11:29, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
when ever i ask my laptop to hibernate there is a error reported, saying the TDEncypt Application is not functioning properly. why does this problem arise and i tried gaining information about this kind of Error, but i could get nothing. Can you please hepl me out solving this problem.
i tried this i could not find anything like that nor did i find it in when i did 'alt' 'crlt' 'esc'. i dont no what to do!!! help!!1
There is no info on TDENCYPT on the web. A clue may be that I ceased getting an error for tdencypt when i removed my logitech s510 cordless keyboard
I am looking for charting software, specifically stock charting software. I am looking for something that is easy to use with pre-made templates. The built-in stock charting options in excel are good but of no comparison to the best charts available thru subscription or for free over the internet which are copyrighted (i.e. yahoo/finance beta & bigcharts.com). I know that ChartXL has a few options but I cannot get samples or examples of what their software offers. Any ideas? --Gungnir 19:47, 15 August 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by John Bragdon ( talk • contribs)
On reboot, I get in order: no signal, then a screen with it telling me the hardware configuration (Core 2 Duo, hard drives, optical drives, etc) then it boots to windows. I've tried tapping F1 and F2 but have not got into the BIOS, and it seems like there's no way to do so. Motherboard is a MSI P6N SLI Platinum. Should I just keep tapping random buttons, or have I missed something? - Woo ty Woot? [Spam! Spam! Wonderful spam! 20:22, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Is there a theoretical maximum size for an iPod or other digital audio player? So far as I understand it an ipod is basically a hard disk with an amplifier. Does this mean the maximum size would be dictated by whatever size the largest portable hard disk would be? I realise this is an open ended question - portability depends on the person doing the carrying - but obviously in commercial terms the kind of weight carried by an infantryman (45 pounds theoretical maximum of 88 pounds according to this) would not count as portable. According to this boomboxes could weigh up to 30 pounds. Stroika 22:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
If we want to keep things able to fit in a backpack or cargo pants pocket, you could easily take a standard 3.5" HDD and then just tack a processor, memory, screen and controls for the MP3 player bit. This could be done by hand if you're good with hardware and messing with linux to run it, and could be done now, and build a decent MP3 player with 500GB of storage for only a few hundred dollars. If we're going with boom box sized components, this gets much easier- 50$ speakers from Logitech, make a box for the PC, and have 8 of those 500GB drives in RAID0, for 4TB of storage, good sound, and basically a portable computer. -- L u c id 02:01, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I think that the heading is sufficient, however if you would like more surrounding text. I am familiar with TCP/IP on Ethernet on a LAN, and I know that we use PPP whe we are attaching to the Internet (ISP), but I cannot find anything authoritative as to what is used under TCP/IP when going between routers on the Internet 64.214.121.138 23:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
