I will look into this for you. As I said, there is a way to do this. like cPanel did. Just give me some time - might have a sloution by the afternoon (my time - as I post it's 10:40 AM).

There are some of those little things in Windows XP that we don't really notice, but do help us. For example, I don't know whether the changed Start menu is a manjor improvement or a little thing, but the list of recently used programs in it is pretty nice to have. Also, there are many programs out there that will only run under XP, like certain products from Adobe.

I understand what the guy wants, and I know there is a way to do it. It does not involve JS. When you make a CGI request, there are two variables that are included in the array of environment variable. I do not know the names of those variables offhand, but some research will bring results. The variables contain the username and the passowrd, most probably Base64 encoded.

The config file should not be chmodded to 777. That allows access to the world, which is never desirable. In truth, if it wasn't for the fact that the web server and cPanel run on different users, no file or directory should be set to 777. Normally files should be set at 644, and scripts at 755, which are much safer values.

I think Mambo or Joomla (which are almost the same) fits the bill. It lets you make new content pages just by filling in some fields, and you can add additional funtionality to your site with modules and components. And there is a feature for making RSS feads of content items.

That is a nice tutorial. Visitor interaction is relatively important these days. But realize that spammers can take advantage of this, since you are leaving an email form out in the open for them to use.

Last night I called Microsoft to get help with my wireless mouse (http://forums.xisto.com/topic/34121-microsoft-wireless-optical-mouse-5000-comfortable-and-a-joy-to-use/, which is, or was rather, excellent, until it started behaving poorly), and had the best experience with support ever (although this was a simple case). First I called 1-800-MICROSOFT (thanks to Maine_Fishing45 for the number), and got a nice woman who opened a case for me. Then I was transferredto an Asian-sounding man, who was nevertheless understandable understandable, who diagnosed the problem, and determined I should request a replacement. He told me to call the Product replacement hotline, which was also toll free. The lady there was also nice, and I am now being hipped a FREE replacement mouse. All that was toll free, and without hassle. Compare that to Dell (http://forums.xisto.com/topic/37922-dell-tech-support-i-just-needed-a-small-bit-of-info/).

Using the search feature will sometimes lead to unheavenly anger, due to the fact that you can't use any keywords in the search that have less than 4 characters in them. There have been countless times where I got that error.

You could try Audacity (https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/), a free and open-source audio recording and editing app. You would need to change the MP3 encoding settings to change the bit rate to 32 kbps to fulfill your requirements.

I always procrastinate - homework, computers, amd other stuff, whether important or unimportant. Sometimes homework gets procrastinated until the dat it is due, or even 1 or 2 classes before it's due (special thanks to our math teacher for letting us do homework during class).

Well, the whole point of using a limited-rights account is to avoid viruses (and other malware, worms, trojans, spyqare, etc.), but most anti-virus software should run and scan without admin priveleges.

The MacBooks are pretty capable mchines, as PC World proves (http://www.pcworld.com/search. They are pretty well performing, look nice, and don't force you to use windows. iLife is a pretty good deal I suppose (don't quote me on that because my experience with Macs is limited to playing around with them at CompUSA). You no longer have to emulate Windows - you can use Apple's boot Camp software (get it for free on Apple's site) to make your Mac dual boot with Windows XP (bring your own, unused license, as Apple doesn't provide them). It works with any Intel-powered Mac.

They can't make their programs use runas because most people should have a password on their administrator accounts (whether it's one they made, or the one windows has by default). To change the passwword of the administrator, log on as an administrator, go to start -> Run, enter control userpasswords2 and hit enter, click on Administrator in the list, and click Reset Password.

You're all welcome for this tutorial; but as I mentioned, it was designed to answer a particular question rather than be an actual tutorial. What exactly is AFS?

Here's some quick info on Gamma's (the free hosting server's) mail server settings:Address: mail.yourdomain.trap17.com or mail.yourdomain.comPort: defaultRequire SMTP Authentication (or similar wording): Yes or checkedSMTP Username: account+yourdomain.trap17.com or account+yourdomain.comSMTP Password: the one you setIn the future, you can get access to this stuff by going into cPanel, clicking Add / Remove E-mail account(s), then Outlook next to the account you want the settings for.

I finally got Photoshop Elements as I promised to do before the summer. I got a bit comfortable working in the environment, which is a bit (no sorry, a lot) neater than GIMP's. I like some of the Photoshop tools, like Layer Styles (a quick n' dirty way to make some nice team icons for forums), but I'm a bit frustrated over the fact that there are no brushes out there that work with Elements 2.0 (and of course I'm too cheap to buy even Elements 4.0, let alone CS2). I tried a brush set from deviantART, which wouldn't load, and one from the GFX department here, and that one gave me the same results. Photoshop was complaining that the brush sets aren't "....compatible with this version of Photoshop." Could someone point to a place where I can get brushes that are compatible? I might reward some hosting credits if you succeed.

You can also go to yoursubdomain.trap17.com:2095 or http://www.yourdomain.com/ to access the cPanel Webmail interface directly. You can even change various email account settings using that method (like forwarding, autoresponder, and aging settings).

I was originally going to post this in a reply, but felt it would deviate from the topic.Here's a brief overview of the three numbers in a permission "code":-The first number is for the owner of the file. If you set a file at 600, the owner will have read and write access and everyone else is locked out.-The second number is for the users group (users are placed into groups to get special rights sometimes). Generally you will not give write access to a user's group.-The third number is for the rest of the world, including web users. Setting any value that will allow write access to the world is not smart (aka 666 and 777).Explanation of the permission values:-To get a permission value, you add up certain amounts, depending on what permissions you want:-- 4 is equal to read access-- 2 is equal to write access-- 1 is equal to execute access (or, in the case of a directory's permissions, it equals directory listing access, meaning you can retrieve a listing of all the files in a directory).Let's look at this in a real-world example:We have Joe's web site. He has the web page file home.html, the directory scripts, and the script file contact.php, which is located in scripts://home.html/scripts//scripts/contact.phpWe should set the permisions for each file as follows, for the reason outlined:-home.html: 644 - this will give the file write access to the owner, and read access to the rest of the world.-/scripts/: 755 - this will allow the owner all rights (read, write, listing), and give outsiders everything but write access.-/scripts/contact.php: 755 - this will give the owner full rights, as well as allow the script to execute under any user.This is not an exhaustive guide to *nux file permissions, and don't take me for a Linux system admin. But it will help the average hosting user understand how to give permissions to his site's files.Edit: Please note that if you include a file in a PHP script using the include(), include_once(), or the require equivelants, then you don't need to CHMOD the file that you're including.

Well, my defenition of music includes anything that's called a song (even if I don't like it - go figure), as well as recordings of buses (I told that to a kid in my bunk in camp, and he wasn't shocked or anything; again go figure). It's also anything that listening too will melt away stress.

There are forum intergration modules for Mambo/Joomla available on their respective project sites (Mamboxchange and Joomla Developer). They work with a resonably wide variety of forum systems, including SMF, phpBB, and others. Forum intergration with Mambo/Joomla is such a big business that SMF even made a whole category for the extention on their forums. As far as Mambo and I go, I use Mambo for two sites. On my personal/development site (http;//http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/),Mambo gives me the power to add lots of interactivity to create a powerful site. On my school site (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/), it gives me the ability to create a professional looking site with out any programming knowledge (although knowing a bit of PHP, HTML and CSS is certainly helpful), and allows me to add features easily if need be. Mambo/Joomla has a bit of stuff to learn, but once you are off the ground, it's easy to work with. Quick hint: You can alter the layout of the Frontpage by going to Menus -> Main Menu, clicking the Home link, and editing the settings on the right side.

The music is a bit loud at my normal volume. If you could just down the volume a few decibels it would be perfect.On a side note, the first song (Forget It) is a really nice song.

Here's a trick to work with my security method: If you need to run an executable (say, an installer), right click on the file in Explorer (or on any shortcut) and choose Run As.... You will get a dialog box asking you to enter an admin password. Supposedly Windows Vista will do this for you, but let's not discuss that.....

We all know the difference between a limited user and an administrator user under Win2k/XP - you can't/can install major software, perform system maintainence, and other stuff. But using a limited user on a day-to-day basis also provides you with decent protection from a bunch of threats: if the malware is running under your limited-rights user, it can only do as much as you can. For instance, a limited rights user can't edit the HKLM hive of the Registry, so any malware running under the same user won't be able to touch that area. It's extremely simple to implemnt, and pretty effective.Note: don't forgo the anti-virus and Windows updates just because your user is slightly protected.

Here's my round of suggestions:500: trapMaster 1000: Xisto Real Member (figure out that one for me) 2000: Xisto Super Poster 3000: Xisto Admiral 4000: Xisto General 5000: trap4life (I like that one) I might as well set my title to trap4life now.... Sorry I'm a bit late in making this post, being that the decisions have already been made.

Graphics with dedicated RAM will always beat intergrated graphics hands down; not just because of the dedicated RAM, but also because of a seperate GPU. There may be a graphics chip on the motherboard, but a dedicated GPU and memory will really help, even with productivity (computers with dedicated graphics, even the low-end cards, recieved higher scores in PC World's benchmark tests than tose with intergrated graphics). If you can afford it, get a DVD burner; you can't be too futureproofed (in this case, with your needs, not with upcoming technologies). Dual core processors aren't expensive anymore - mainstream laptops these days are built around the Core Duo processor, a dual-core chip. They help with multitasking, especially if you run a bizillion apps at once. WiFi is included in just about every notebook sold these days. If it isn't included, it won't cost that much to add an 802.11g card to it.
