Some useful information today.

Today I had a user call about a problem with iTunes not finding any music after migrating to Vista.  The problem was that they'd not kept all their music in the "iTunes Music" directory and it was spread out all over the "My Documents" directory on the old machine, and the username was also different so the default link that Vista creates (from "Documents and Settings" to "Users") wouldn't work.

I'm in love...

I guess I should qualify that statement. I've been working on finding a firewall to deploy to our customers. 

Gradually more and more of our customers want or need 2 ADSL lines for fail-over and/or VoIP traffic quality purposes. So the task was to find a robust router that importantly wasn't going to be deprecated or discontinued for a fair while so we could standardise on it. Our problem recently with low end ADSL routers is that we'd find a nice one, then after a few months we wouldn't be able to buy it anymore.

After removing the fraudware Antivirus 2008 XP program, it can be found that you have some missing tabs in the Display Properties dialog box.

Don't forget to thank your system administrator today ! (Particularly if it's us! )

Happy Sysadmin day everyone!

If you need to use symbols or characters not easily accessible on your keyboard you can access them via your ALT key on any Windows PC.

Just hold the left ALT key and type the number for the symbol using the number pad on the keyboard (rather than the numbers on the top line).
