I have someone with a laptop, with a partitioned HDD. The main partition is now full, but there is space available on the other one. Is there a tool I can use to combine the two, without formatting, on XP?

Many resize tools to choose from such as Symantec's Partition Magic, Paragon's Hard Disk Manager, and many others from this Google Query[^].

I have a situation where I may need to set up email accounts for different users on shared machines. Am I correct in assuming that the Email Account settings in Outlook are specific to the logged on user? I don't want one user doing a send and receive and Outlook doing it for all accounts, only for that user's account.

Yes, they are user-specific.

If my memory serves me correctly, you will need to set up search paths and to do this you will need to execute the SET PATH command to set these up for example :
SET PATH=C:\;C:\WINDOWS;D:\MYSTUFF\PROGS
Then when you attempt to execute an executable program, the operating system will search the paths set in order, until the program is found or all paths have been checked.

Win2000 Backup - restore - gets stuck. Either wizard or without it gets stuck in "Enter backup file name".
I have rearranged my dynamic disks and need to restore original data.
So far I managed to do only one backup! Eight more to go and I am really frustrated with the process.
Any clue what is happening?
Thanks for reading

Dear,
I need help in vb/vb.net to check wheather installed drivers (i.e) lan drivers, sound cards, etc are properly installed.
For eg., mycomputer->properties->devicemanager will give all the details of the driver installed in the machine, but this is manual involves user interaction.
But through either vb/vb.net i need to give status of the installed drivers to check wheather it is properly installed or not.

Hi, I have a problem about the limit of the power resource at my work place. My office have a server with 40 clients. The power will cut off around 6pm or 6:30pm and will be available again around 6:30am in the morning (because of the fuel price growth to high the management decide to cut the power). It is really difficult for me to manage the server. Because I couldn't perform any task such as backup and schedule to clearn virus at the weekend.
One thing that I concern is about the scheudle to shutdown the server. Sometime the power was cut off before the schedule reach its time. My purpose it, how could we detect the UPS of the server when it detect that if there is no power supply around 30 second then it will shutdown the server. I know the command to shutdown the server immediately but i don't not know how could we detect the power on UPS when it is disconnect. Does anyone has any idea? Thank in advance!!!

There are some UPS in the market available having the functionality on showing the USP capability to the machine using a serial BUS......

What brand and model UPS is it?
|
|
|
|
|

This model is equipped with both a USB and a serial connector. So you can connect a cable to the server and install the APCs own program (Powershute) for handling the shutdown of the server.

Thank you very much for your support. I will try to do it and when if i have any question i will return to you. Thank

It most probably means that the UPS has been running after the power outtage the evening before until the battery is flat and then shuts off.
It takes a day or so to recharge the battery to have what the UPS is considering to be enough power.
The default setting of Powerchute, if I remember correctly, is to keep on running until there is five minutes of power left and then signal to the server to shut down.
I would change this setting to shutting down the server five minutes after the power outtage.
This way you're going to save a lot of battery life time, lead-acid batteries likes to stay fully charged.
And the server will still be shut down is a nice way, which will keep your databases happy.

God!!! my office power just run from 7am to 7pm. And that time that we need to run our server. I don't know when the battery will be charge that UPS is considering to be enough power. As your expereince do you know how long (nearly exact time) that UPS could be fully charge?

Where did you change this setting?
Thank for your help

What is that services.exe all about? I have the habit of running Services MMC Snapin by navigating to Start, Run, Services.msc. In some real hurry and sometimes when I forget the .MSC, my Task Manager shows a steep high CPU usage and some weird process services.exe keeps running.
In the most of the cases, the only solution left is to give a kick to the system and allow it to reboot and then it comes back to normalcy.

From http://www.liutilities.com:
Services.exe is a part of the Microsoft Windows Operating System and manages the operation of starting and stopping services. This process also deals with the automatic starting of services during the computers boot-up and the stopping of services during shut-down. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
Although as it points out, some viruses use services.exe as their virus executable to look like the legitimate Windows component.

services.exe implements the Service Control Manager. It also hosts the Event Log and Plug and Play services, on Windows XP.
It could appear to be consuming a lot of CPU if a service or application is logging a lot of data to the event log, or if a service is frequently updating its running status - or crashing and having to be restarted a lot.

It wouldnt be long before someone ran cmd.exe and as a parameter they could have the "format" command and erase that computer's drive 
Or if someone was really awkward they could set the ScreenSaverTimeout string to 1 second and have the "shutdown" command in the SCRNSAVER.EXE therfore shutting it down as soon as it is turned on.
