Switching users
I only have 2 users, my wife and me. 2 days ago she tried to switch users to
her and got a black screen with only the cursor. (it was moveable)
I tried to set up another user account and the process started and told me

I tried to delete users and set up new ones with only t...

adding certain priveledges to standard users
I would like to allow one of the standard users certain priveledges, such as
installing new programs, but not allow them to change security settings or

Vista does not recover properly after sleep in Dell E1505
Hi! I'm running Vista Ultimate on a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop and a ATI
Mobility Radeon X1400 video card. When it goes into sleep mode, I
actually doesn't recover properly. Once I flip the lid open, it just
boots all over again, restores Windows and takes a very long time to do
so, almost 3-5 minutes, instead of taking "less than 3 seconds" as some
people claim.
Does anyone know how to fix this...

You do not have sufficient priveleges.....
I've spent 3-weeks browsing for the answer to this problem, and although

worked fine for a few weeks, I could install programmes from CD or the

Windows Vista 32 Bit has slowed down after joining a domain
Dear Desktop Support Guru,
I have joined Windows Vista 32 bit to a Windows 2003 Small business server
domain that is running service pack 2. Since this time the PC has increased
the time it takes to do things. For example, if the start button is clicked,

How do I query IE7 & cleanmgr using a script ?
Hello everyone,
I'd like to use a script (WMI, WSH, ...) to tell IE7 to clean out its old

I would also like to write a script that will tell the disk cleanup utility
(cleanmgr.exe) to remove old files periodically using the options I set. I'm
having trouble with the /sageset and /sagerun switches, cleanmgr ignores them.
