Here are the solutions to the last weeks quiz.
Scenario 1: You are using Windoze 9X. YOu have access only as a user and no administrative powers.You want to access the shared computers or anything that is usually inaccessible for that matter. what do you do?
Solution: The most easiest thing to do is, log in as some user. Search for *.pwl files and delete.Now you can give your own password on startup.
Scenario 2: You have to frequently change computers. You use a dial up internet connection. You cannot remember the passwords,numbers and stuff. what do you do?
Solution: All the necessary information is stored in the Windows Registry.
Go to Start >> Run and type Regedit
Go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key on the left-hand side and click the + to expand
Highlight the RemoteAccess folder
Click the Registry menu then choose Export Registry File...
Give it a name and a destination.
All your dial-up info is now on the disk.
Go to the machine you want to work on, run Regedit again, and import the file. Since you only copied the Dial-up Networking portion, you won't mess with any of the other settings.
Scenario 3: YOu just installed that new software you got, your OS asks you to restart. You restart your b0x only to find that your system is behaving erratically. What do you do to restore the sanity?
Solution: Boot from the Bootable diskette, type 'scanreg' at the prompt, the registry is backed up and you may restore the older backup. It fixes the problem.
Scenario 4: You realize that your system no longer is as fast as it used to be. You know for sure that the culprit is the softwares that load on startup. Also you find that not all softwares allow you to disable this. What do you do?
Solution: Type 'msconfig' in start>run. Here you can control the startup files at the tab labeled 'startup'.
Scenario 5: You have accidentally deleted a system file and you want to replace only that file back. What do you do?
Solution: Run a tiny tool called 'sfc' from start>run. Check for modified,corrupt and delted files and restore them from the Disk.
Queries welcome.
