In my opinion, junk file and registry is difference. Registry does not store a file. It store a key of system configuration in your operating system.
Socheat.Net wrote: Why do we need scan Registry?
When you setup a new someware, some registry key might create in order to set a system configuration of new software installation. When you uninstall your software, some key might not be delete from your registry system. That is why you need to scan your registry key in order to find any key that is not use and still keep in the registry.

I've never heard of a Junk file, but the registry is Microsoft's way of organizing bedlam. Back in the bad old days of Windows 2.x, 3.x, etc every program and piece of hardware had one or more .ini files containing default and user specified settings for the configuration. The Registry is a database that replaces that system with a single repository for all configuration settings.
The CLASSES_ROOT hive is kept for backward compatibility - last I checked it was obsolete, but programs dating from the earlier Win9.x days still rely on it. The CURRENT_USER hive contains settings for the currently logged on user; these are created using values from the USERS hive when a user logs on to the system. The LOCAL_MACHINE hive contains settings specific to the machine, such as hardware and software installed, services to start on power up, etc. CURRENT_CONFIG contains dynamic information that applies only to the current session.
It should be scanned periodically for two reasons. One is that many software developers don't know how to use the Registry correctly, or write uninstallers that neglect to remove obsolete entries from the Registry. This clutters up the Registry database, and can affect performance. The other is that virus writers love to tamper with the Registry to spoof your PC into running phony programs when it's supposed to run legitimate programs, and to make their nasty wares run at startup.

What do I need to do to get performance data from another PC in the LAN?
When I select it, perfmon says "Unable to connect to machine"

It's a permissions problem, if you log onto the remote machine as Admin (from your perfmon pc) then it should work.
or try this:
1) Open regedit on the destination machine
2) Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Perflib
3) Right click on the 'perflib' key and choose 'permissions'
4) Add the account from which you are attempting to run perfmon (from your other machine), or add 'Local System' - change permissions to Full Control.
5) Save, exit
try perfmon again.

Thanks, logging in (by accessing a shared folder), closing and repopening perfmon helped.

Hi Everyone,
I don't know much about this forum but simply posting my question and hope that one of you will surely anwser it.
I have created custom .adm for a windows registry based group policy. The purpose of that is to restrict user from connecting USB storage devices to the office systems. I have been able to do so with the help of custom group policy template and registry however I would be more than happy to add a popup box or a warning message to be shown to the user when he tries to connect his USB memory stick to the computer. The error msg would ideally be as below.
"USB storages medias are blocked by xxx co. policies. Please contact your system administrator for further assistance."
Please can anyone help me in the above scene??????????? I would be more than obliged.
Thanks![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

I have created a program which i am deploying with clickonce from a file share on our server,
it installed on 2 clients no problem, but on the third a got the error:
Unable to connect to the remote server
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
and on the forth machine a got the error:
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection good be made because the target machine actively refused it
On the forth machine i copied the installation folder to the desktop and started it from there without any problem.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Many thanks in advance.

We're not the people to ask. If you want to crack passwords, you've come to the wrong place.

I think sysadmin also need to do such things because sysadmin need to recover the system and prevent the system being attack.
There are two sides in every question!

I've been doing this for 21 years. NEVER have I ever had the need to crack a password. I would just reset the thing to something known, following company policies to do so. It's standard security policy just about everywhere. The tools you use do not reveal the current password for a reason, and there is never any reason to ask for it. If a password is forgotten, it's changed, never cracked.

The point is you are working in company, but I am working in school. In fact that I need to stop student doing somethings in their installed harddisk. So I need to do this.

Use group policies to lock down their accounts. Or copy my HSes password policy which required that a copy be kept on file in case the admins needed to access our accounts.

If you have admin rights, you can change the student's password. If not, you either have no business interfering, or have too few privileges to do your job. If there's a legitimate problem, report it to whoever has the rights to change things. There is never a reason to hack a password except for malicious purposes.

The whole story is that we need to provide harddisk to student. They will need to install OS in the harddisk, but some of them (a lot) will also install computer games in it and play in the class. You may say the lecturer should stop them, but they won't even you tell them. So I write some program and place in their harddisk to make some problems when they are playing game.
But some of them change the default password of the OS. Although the lab sheet tell them to use default password, it is not compulsory.
So I won't have the admin rights in it because they are the admin for the harddisk. I always tell them don't play game in the class, but they won't accept my advise. If you see more than half number of student in the class are playing computer game every day (other may be sleeping), what will you do? You may say it is also a malicious purpose. Please give other suggestions!

Make it mandatory, check each PC after the first class, and fail any student who refuses to comply. For the rest, create your own Admin user account and demote theirs to User. As a teacher I can understand your frustration, but one of the important lessons to be learned in school is how to follow instructions. Failing a student who refuses to do so is in itself an important lesson.

Our situation is that the lecturers are afraid to fail the student. Also, the students are the administrator of the harddisk. Other class will use the other set of harddisk. Please give me more suggestion!
