Hi there Clear question from me (solved now by the way) -- I want to hide user list when logging on to Windows (server or whatever) Yet the stupid search engine gives me a solution on how to DISPLAY the wretched list. This type of stuff seems to occur with more monotonous regularity these...

Hi folks Those who haven't got Office 2024 preview Office 2021 LTSC is still updating OK. Don't go for Office/365 unless you really have to. I have various windows builds with vhdx files (physical) and so I can have versions with Office 2024 preview) and office 2021 LTSC without having to...

All these Nay sayers against A.I are reall;y equivalent to King Canute's alleged refutation on "The divine right of Kings" in early Anglo saxon history by commanding the tide to stop (mind you if he'd have had a copy of the maritime tide tables for that year he could have got away with it...

Forget Reddit Actually other than "Change license" within Ms - the best way IMO is to download from UUPDUMP the relevant windows build you want and then include extra editions in the prompt.to be included in the iso. Then when running the install you will get prompted for the edition you want...

The easiest way (IMO) is simply to open a .pst file within outlook (or create a new one and open it) -- then simply copy (or move) the relevant folders to the .pst file -- you can create several if you think the files are getting too big, plus you can create folders within the .pst file. Cheers...

Hi there Thanks That model of spool (and many similar) will also fit on my machine -- works perfectly -- thanks for the link @cereberus I have some saw blade attachments etc - but for my garden (after loads or "lazy re-wilding" strimmer nylon cord is the best solution for the job I need to do...

It's less and less effective as work communication,youngsters use it less and less and more of it just seems to be either reminders for bill payments or advertising and other spam. cheers jimbo

Hi folks I've got a US wilks 52cc gas (petrol) powered strimmer -- but it's got one of those new fangled strimmer heads -- I can't make headsor tails of how to reload the spool. Seems all you need to do is push one end of the strimmer line through a hole in the side, until it comes out of the...

Email itself is a dinosaur method of communication anyway -- all its good for is sending the odd attachment, and getting bill paying reminders from utilities and credit card companies. Much better ways of communication today. Cheers jimbo

If you get loads of emails from different accounts - screen notifications can be mega annoying. Outlook (classic version) in options enables you to display alert or not when new email arrives, plus also can enable / disable sound alert. If you have the full Ms Office suite I can't see the point...

Hi gurus Question : I want to logon to a remote Windows system (W11 pro) which has shared drives from a NAS attached to it. Can I from the computer (Win 11 PRO) logging on to the remote Windows session get access to those shared drives (assuming permissions and accounts on the remote server are...

This is certainly true of ANY windows version if you manually install the bootloader via bcdboot -- this then becomes th default boot -- simply change it either in the blue gui bootscreen or in the command line with bcdedit /default {your boot} and reboot. the value in the { } can be found...

Hi folks NO special config needed -- just normal config as you'd do for setting up / creating VM's using vmware / Hyper-V / Vbox or any other virtualisation software. You don't need to set up physical links betwen the physical nic and the bridge, masters, slaves, routing stuff etc !!!. Caveat...

For Enterprise --if you choose join a domain as logon method then you can install a local account. I don't like though with these later insider releases enabling decryption by default -- I'm not that paranoid -- and often these things just are a nuisance if stuff goes wrong. If I travel with a...

Excellent !!! @SlicEnDicE You can only pass thru devices from a Linux Host ( Virtualisation using KVM/QEMU) if they are not being used by the host or other VM's currently powered on. You if passing through a GPU need a SEPARATE video card (or port) on it. You might / might not need IOMMU...
