need to disable the left click touch on a laptop
I have a client that has a Dell Inspiron laptop that is always moving the curser inadvertantly by touching the touchpad while typing. It annoys her greatly. A couple months ago I worked on a different Inspiron laptop and that lady had her left click function turned off at the touchpad but the actual button worked normally. I spend some time looking over her touchpad driver and didn't find a checkbox to disable the left click from the pad. Anyone know where this is. I also didn't find it on the couple of Gateway laptops I service. She left this morning for a 2 week cruise, so if I find anything, I'll just email it to her and she can make the change.

RE: 2008 R2 in a 2003 R2 domain
These are simple 2008 security enhancements. Why are you creating files at the root of a partition anyway? It's a bad idea! Otherwise, you need to open your cmd prompt or windows explore elevated - that is, click on the icon for them and select Run as Administrator. From: Neil Standley [mailto:n...@net-venture.com] Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 7:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 2008 R2 in a 2003 R2 domain Please forgive me if this has been answered already, I searched through my list emails and couldn't find anything related. Is there anything I need to do to prep my 2003 R2 domain before introducing a 2008 R2 member server? I ask because, well I was stupid and forgot to ask before adding it to my domain and now have a few oddities. After joining this server to the domain, the Domain admins group is automatically added to the local admin group on the 2008 server. When I log in as my domain admin account I find I can't do some things an admin should have rights to do. Such as execute IISReset, see error below. (yes, IIS IS installed and running) This is the exact message I get when trying to run IISReset using my domain admin account. If I login as the local admin I can run this without errors. Access denied, you must be an administrator of the remote computer to use this command. Either have your account added to the administrator local group of the remote computer or to the domain administrator global group. I also could not create a new file on the root of D until I added authenticated users and gave them modify permissions. But again, if I'm logged in as local admin then I have no problem doing this.

RE: Resizing C partition in Server 2003
Any bootable partitioning tool that doesn't run under Windows can access drives that have BIOS support enabled. If a RAID partition is bootable, then it has BIOS support enabled. However performance through the BIOS can be really bad sometimes and any repartitioning that involves resizing or sliding may take a lot longer than expected.
