Re: [H] WINS Server?

I disagree on all counts in a home environment except to say that yes, you SHOULD have 2 DC's BECAUSE IT IS EASIER TO KEEP ON RUNNING if 1 fails. But You must or it WILL FAIL!!! DOOM!???!? LOL, right, not my experience with my DC dying. Let me clarify: I don't rely DC2's sync as a domain

RE: [H] WINS Server?

I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree. To me, the situation you outline below -is- doom and gloom, because I value my time as such that having to perform those DR steps is more than I'd like to do. Indeed, not only do I have two live DCs at all times, but each DC is also backed up

[H] My Documents won't open

Here's a strange one - I have a machine where the link to My Documents on the Start Menu won't open anything - I click on it, and the menu disappears and nothing opens. The My Pictures and My Music links work fine, and if I go to My Computer, I can open Owner's Documents with no problems. I

Re: [H] WINS Server?

Maybe we do, but eventually has come and gone twice in 7+ years over 2 PC's due to the machine or HDD dying recovery has been same as you would do to maintain redundancy, restoring the last backup or swapping the drive into another system. So time wise to repair I loose no more than you would.

RE: [H] WINS Server?

Greg and j maccraw, Thank you for the spirited pro/con discussion of domain controllers. I do see both sides. Even sorta understand most of the rationale each of you use. If I can start with only one DC, I will. It is here now and already burning trons. If needed, I can implement a 2d DC

Re: [H] My Documents won't open

reads to me like the 'master' link to the My Documents directory is housed. Perhaps the user 'moved' his My Documents and did not point the master link to its' new location. Just a thought; because I've done this and lost a week trying to find my docs again.. :) Best, Duncan At 15:01

Re: [H] My Documents won't open

I've done something similar to this as well. Start moving around my docs and things can get fubar'ed. DHSinclair [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: reads to me like the 'master' link to the My Documents directory is housed. Perhaps the user 'moved' his My Documents and did not point the master

Well, I moved the link to another folder (which also wouldn' t open) and then moved it back (and it still won't open.) Is there a registry setting that holds the My Documents info that might have gotten hosed? T At 03:32 PM 25/10/2007, DHSinclair wrote: reads to me like the 'master' link to

Re: [H] My Documents won't open

Probably, but I don't know what it is right now. And, would not any registry entry be unique to that machine's install? I will go search... I was not saying 'move' anything. What are the current properties of the 'real' My Documents directory? On my machine it says: D:|My Documents

There is a setting for that in TweakUI, and I tried it, and no soap. Good guess though - I should have thought of that. T At 04:16 PM 25/10/2007, Rick Glazier wrote: IIRC, Does Tweek UI have a section for fixing special folders?? Rick Glazier From: Thane
