I want to execute script automatically stored in usb drive when usb drive plugged.
that is when am insert usb drive in linux environment it will automatically execute script on drive.
I wrote script for display pop-up window.named -> Autorun.sh

FOR THAT WHAT I DO?
in windows that autorun.inf file do this work.
For linux what do?

The Linux kernel has no built-in autorun handling.
Some distributions (SuSe and Fedora Core 5/6 come to mind) do offer autorun for CD-drives. As far as I know, they simply included code from the autorun-project[^] to achieve this. It should be possible to adapt this to your USB-handler (hotplug or other). Your USB-handler might already do something like that, so try checking that documentation first.
Sorry, that's all I can tell you. This is a MS-centric board, after all.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Then you might want to pay for support. Here people give help for free. As a result, they are not here to sit and watch for a question to come in so they can immediately answer it. They visit from time to time and help out where they can.
You have a choice. Get help for free but require some patience. Or be impatient and pay for the privilege. Your choice!

Greetings:
I have a PC system here running Windows XP-Pro. Some weeks ago, it notified me that it had downloaded an update and asked if I would like to install it before shutting down. Verily, I replied "Sure".
Next day, same thing. After the 2nd and 3rd time, I started to wonder why MS was sending so many updates. Now, I realize that it is just installing the same update over and over again. 
Anybody familiar with this particular endless loop? Any advice on what I can do about it?
Thanks in advance.

The only time I've seen that happen is when the update requires Windows Genuine Advantage to pass the machine as authentic Windows, and it's failing.

If it's failing authentication, then there is just something plain wrong. Its a Dell Latitude D800, purchased by my company in 2003 with the operating system installed by Dell. I have had countless Windows updates since then proceed successfully up to now.
I don't pretend to be an expert on the Windows registry, but I am aware that things can get badly screwed up in there. Any possibility it could be something like that?

This happens when an update installation fails to complete for some reason. Although I can't verify that they all do, many I've installed have left behind a log file with step-by-step details of the process, and often you can find a clue as to what failed. Rarely, though, will that clue be clear enough to enable you to fix it.
Check the Add/Remove Programs applet for the particular fix you're trying to install - the KB number will be part of the name. If you find it, remove it and start over. Sometimes a partial install gets stuck for some error or other and can't recover. Deleting any reference to it will cause a fresh install to begin. Another way (I haven'tried it, but it seems reasonable to me) might be to skip the Update page and go directly to the knowledge base article and do the update from there.

Thanks. That sounds like the advice I've been looking for.

Hi,
it's also possible that something with your Update Agent goes wrong.
First you should check the event log and log files for errors:
C:\WINNT\WindowsUpdate.log
C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\ReportingEvents.log
And you could try "resetting" the Update Agent:
1. Disable Automatic Updates
2. Stop the Automatic Updates service
3. Delete all files under C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\*.*
4. (Re-)Start the Automatic Update service
5. (Re-)Enable Automatic Updates
But be warned: This is a dirty hack. Do it at your own risk!

Hi Again:
I'm replying to my own original message. I just wanted to report that the probem was resolved.
Turning "automatic updates off" and selecting instead "Notify me when updates are ready" I was able to note the two update codes that kept going around and around. It was 925672 and KB927978. They relate to MSXML V4.0 SP1. Taking Roger Wright's advice, I checked Add/Remove programs and set it to include updates in the listing. Here, I found that MSXML 4.0 SP1 had two identical entries. I uninstalled both of them and restarted. I then allowed them to be reinstalled when the message appeared saying that those two updates were ready. They installed successfully and it has all been tickety-boo since then.
Thanks all, and Roger in particular.

I have some experience about LAN configurations. But I never done VoIP networks before. Now I have a reqirment to configure a VoIP network with 6 Computers and 6 IP Telephones. I am from out of US. But I need to connect that IP Phones to the US Land Lines. That means if anybody make a call from US we need to answer through that network. Can anybody give me an idea for this?
Thanks

You might want to look into Asterisk (Open Source PBX - Private Branch Exchange), which can do everything you asked for. Digium (the main contributor to Asterisk) also offers commercial support and services for Asterisk installations, as well as hardware that is guaranteed to be working with Asterisk.
Cheers,

Just goto Control Panel->User Accounts->Your User Name->Remove My Password. From there, you will just have to confirm your current password.
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.
Neo: That's why it's going to work.

Do you mean the screen that shows after Windows boots up? If so, you would change the password the same way.

There's no such thing! There is no Windows startup password. It only asks for a user account and password.
If there is a "Startup Password", it's only because there is a third party product installed, such as disk encryption software, that is asking for this. It is not part of Windows.

How about the password that administrator use with SYSKEY utility?
|
|
|
|
|
That password is used to derive an MD5 digest "System Key" which is used to protect the password encryption key. This password cannot be used for any other purpose, especially user login. You cannot "break into" the system using that password, nor can any account, service, application, or lock utility, use it to gain, or restrict, any kind of access to the system. So, it's not really the "Windows Startup Password".
