Solve : command in DOS?

Answer»

What is the command for copying the entire content of
a drive to another drive?

Is it XCopy??What is the command for MOVING the entire content of  
a drive to another drive?

Is it XCopy??C:\WINNT\system32>xcopy /?
Copies files and directory trees.

XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/V] [/W]
                          [/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/H] [/R] [/T] [/U]
                          [/K] [/N] [/O] [/X] [/Y] [/-Y] [/Z]
                          [/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...]

 source       Specifies the file(s) to copy.
 destination  Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
 /A           Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
              doesn't change the attribute.
 /M           Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
              turns off the archive attribute.
 /D:m-d-y     Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
              If no date is given, copies only those files whose
              source time is newer than the destination time.
 /EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...
              Specifies a LIST of files containing strings.  When any of the
              strings match any part of the ABSOLUTE path of the file to be
              copied, that file will be excluded from being copied.  For
              example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude
              all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the
              .obj extension respectively.
 /P           Prompts you before creating each destination file.
 /S           Copies directories and subdirectories EXCEPT empty ones.
 /E           Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.
              Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
 /V           Verifies each new file.
 /W           Prompts you to press a key before copying.
 /C           Continues copying even if errors occur.
 /I           If destination does not exist and copying more than one file,
              assumes that destination must be a directory.
 /Q           Does not display file names while copying.
 /F           Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
 /L           Displays files that would be copied.
 /H           Copies hidden and SYSTEM files also.
 /R           Overwrites read-only files.
 /T           Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. Does not
              include empty directories or subdirectories. /T /E includes
              empty directories and subdirectories.
 /U           Copies only files that already exist in destination.
 /K           Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
 /N           Copies using the generated short names.
 /O           Copies file ownership and ACL information.
 /X           Copies file audit settings (implies /O).
 /Y           Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
              existing destination file.
 /-Y          Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
              existing destination file.
 /Z           Copies NETWORKED files in restartable mode.

The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.

C:\WINNT\system32>I believe it would be easiest to use the xcopy /s which will copy all directories and subdirectories minus empty ones.

Solve : I thought some of you might be unamused by this.?

Answer»

Bruce Alan Wilson DiplomAssist Educational Research Information & Advisory Service "Bringing the School to the Student"

----- Original Message -----

From: "James S. Tyre" [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2000 10:51 PM Subject: Is Your Computer Possesed by a Demon?

From: Is Your Computer Possesed by a Demon?

SAVANNAH, Ga. -- Your computer may be possessed by a demon, a leading minister warns.

"While the Computer Age has ushered in many advances, it has also opened yet another door through which Lucifer and his minions can enter and corrupt men's souls," said the Reverend Jim Peasboro, author of an upcoming book, The Devil in the Machine.

Demons are able to possess anything with a brain, from a chicken to a human being. And today's thinking machines have enough space on their hard drives to accommodate Satan or his pals.

"Any PC built after 1985 has the storage capacity to house an evil spirit," the minister confirmed.

The Savannah clergyman says he became aware of the problem from counseling churchgoers.

"I LEARNED that many members of my congregation became in touch with a dark force whenever they used their computers," he said. "Decent, happily married family men were drawn irresistibly to pornographic websites and forced to witness unspeakable abominations.

"Housewives who had never expressed an impure thought were entering Internet chat rooms and found themselves spewing foul, debasing language they would never USE normally.

"ONE woman wept as she confessed to me, 'I feel when I'm on the computer as if someone else or something else just takes over.' "

The minister said he probed one such case, actually logging onto the parishioner's computer himself. To his surprise, an artificial-intelligence program fired up -- without him clicking it on. "The program began talking directly to me, openly mocked me," he recalls. "It typed out, 'Preacher, you are a weakling and your God is a *censored* liar.' "

Then the device went haywire and started printing out what LOOKED like gobbledygook.

"I later had an expert in dead languages examine the text," the minister said. "It turned out to be a stream of obscenities written in a

2,800-year-old Mesopotamian dialect!"

Since, then, Rev. Peasboro has researched the problem further and uncovered alarming facts.

"I learned most of the youths involved in school shootings like the tragedy at Columbine were computer buffs," he said. "I have no doubt that computer demons exerted an influence on them."

The minister estimates that one in 10 computers in America now houses some type of evil spirit.

Rev. Peasboro advises that if you suspect your computer is possessed, you consult a clergyman or, if the computer is still under warranty, take it in for servicing. He says, "Technicians can replace the hard drive and reinstall the software, getting rid of the wicked spirit permanently."

Subject: Not as funny as you might think.


Depending on your view of the World which tends to be existentialist.

The figure is closer to 9 out of ten and the reason is quite clear if you understand what is meant by Übermench.

The Übermench are the Nine planets plus the Sun.

Now you think that you are an Earthling but there are ten times too many people on the planet and the reason is...

... are you sitting down somewhere at ground level?

90% of the people actually on the planet represent the other nine planets.

So why are people stacked up in skyscrapers instead of living in Bungalows?

You are - not - consciously fully aware of your surroundings is why.

Now take a look at the full spectrum of pornography available. (You'll need a strong stomach for this.)

Of course 'they ' could have had a limited population and enforced strict building sizes, family sizes and law and order.

But not when using this Übermench system.

The 'Demons' this minister is referring to are the planets and the people they have spawned.

Nine out, nine home. Just like golf.

Oh, I was forgetting the Black Hole. Make that Nine plus the Sun, plus a Black Hole.

Maclol.......nice one mac........is its the msoft demon.......or the apple/ mac demon........

What utter rubbiish some people will say.........

Is the tv possesed to?Can I tempt you to the Apple of Knowledge?

How do we get back to the Garden now?

"Is the TV possesed too?"

Take a very careful look at the way people are behaving.

You tell me.

One of my neighbours says that he is satan.

But then there are those who follow the Black Sabbath.

They are here to turn the Light off, with their Sabbath switches.

I rather think that you have forgotten about all the other land masses on this planet Merlin.

Have you got Google Earth?For what it's worth, this article was first published in The Weekly World News.Thank you Hopester, I had wondered where it originally came from.

The real problem is that too many people are making money from immoral earnings in my considered opinion.

Something for 'The Supreme Court' to consider.It might give you peace of mind, in this case at least, that The Weekly World News is a satire magazine and the stories are fabricated. Although, I have no doubt there is a member of the clergy somewhere who subscribes to this belief.Religious Crimes are not fabricated though, they really do exist.

Satire was once referred to as being the lowest form of wit (intelligence) maybe it would be better referred to as the lowest form of perception.TO be on the safe site i think we should host a mass

EXORSISIM!

R0SSPeople ....People ....People,

Why is it we insist on turning computer problems into religous or political issues .......
There is nothing DEMONIC about a computer ..........It's just a assembly  of plastic and metal .  It's too awkward to make a good doorstop ........and not heavy enough to use as a boat anchor..........
The major source of most computer issues are the people who toil in front of them ...........

If a Computer was Preaching, would we follow it.

If a Computer was standing for election would we vote for it.

Solve : Blocked from web site by owner??

Answer»

My husband had his account closed at a Christian forum called TalkJesus.com.  But the problem is I can't access the website anymore.  It comes up "Page cannot be DISPLAYED."  My internet is working fine, only that website won't come up.  I called my sister and she had no problem accessing the site.  I think the computer owner may have somehow blocked my computer from getting onto the site, and I think it was done cause the site owner has my IP address.
Is there any way to get around this?

Thanks!

Dawnsince you have posted in that forum,the forum adminstrator has noted your ip address , and blocked
you , for any reason , for accesssing their site.

This is one reason.

If this cannot be the case, then i can not tell about other
reasons.Is there any way to get around that?  Is that even legal?Is there any way to get around that?  Is that even legal?if you contact them through email you can tell the story to them so that they can see over it.

By the way i wentto that site and it opened alright.Use a proxy server.  Nice Quote

Use a proxy server.  


Forgive me, but I'm not very computer smart.  How do I use a proxy server?
For that, you will have to become a computer smart. is your firewall stopping this site......are your cookie enabled for it............go to control panel click the firewall icon and check the settings........Dawn Reinas..... You must have violated some rule .....LOL ........according to what I saw there the owner can do whatever they wish ......and refuse anyone they wish.
I picked this warning off the site .

"Warning: If you send any emails that are spam, offending, against Christianity or anything I simply find offending, you will face your CONSEQUENCES. Every action of yours is recorded and logged. For those who hate Christianity and Jesus, I do not care about your views or opinion so please save your time or waste it elsewhere. Your IP address is logged (proxy / anonymizers are ineffective here at Talk Jesus, so think twice). You will be dealt with LEGALLY if necessary. "

If you really want to go there, I would use ANOTHER pc and Email the owner and inquire as to why you have been blocked ..........
It might also be prudent to be certain the problem isnt with your pc .

dl65  
http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/index_en.html
Of course if they realise it's you they can also block the proxy server or it may already be blocked so then you would have to search for another one.My husband didn't violate any rules.  We posted a Christian teaching (we posted it by the rules).  Then My husband went ahead and posted a continuation of my teaching.  The owner of the website disagreed with the teaching and the next thing ya know.....bang, my husband's account was closed and so was mine.  I've seen the owner of the site do this to others before when it was completely uncalled for....I guess it was just our turn.

I was trying to get back in and see what he did with my teachings, I have no way of emailing the owner because all emails were done through the site's "private message" feature.  I could only have gotten his email address if I downloaded the vcard off the site.

I appreciate everyone's help.  I guess I can try the proxy server thing.  I'm not going back on the site to cause trouble or anything, he may not even know, cause all I wanna do is check out my teachings and see if they are still there.

I will attempt the proxy server....I should've taken computer courses in school  site checked no problems>http://talkjesus.com/ Quote

R0SS Quote

Stop complaining.

If you want to do something about politicians, buy a sniper rifle.


I used to make sniper's rifles. The secret in maintaining ACCURACY is to glue the threaded barrel into the action using Locktite retaining compound then you don't get any creep in the thread due to heat.

DON'T do this until you have set any mounts for the 'scope as getting the barrel out again is none too easy!!!

When choosing a barrel and sighting it for straightness you may choose one which has a long slight curve, especially if caused by heat set as they can be more accurate than a straight barrel retaining complete accuracy even when hot. Something I learned from a Roy Dunlap book on making custom rifles.

Let's see. It was a 7.62mm based on a ·308 Winchester chamber if I remember.

When I fired a test group the boss had a fit, "Did you do this"?

"What's the matter Boss too small?" He never came within range of me again, preferring to use the telephone.

Some of the boys tried it out on a range and, getting tired of using targets, and spotting some wild pheasants, shot them through the head at 600 yards.

Solve : difference between assets & liability?

Answer»

in accounting:

What is the difference between assets and liability?

can anybody clarify that? I have got the FOLLOWING , but not quite clear.

assets:

anything that has a value and is owned by a business is an asset. Assets are used by a business for providing goods and services to its customers. The loan GIVEN by a company to the other is treated as an asset
otf the lenderas it is a source of income. Thus assets are sources of income.

Liabilities:

anything that has a VLUE and is owned by a company is a liability. e.g. A loan taken by a company  fromthe bank is a liability of the company,We're not quite here to do your economics homework. Nice try, though.

Solve : Sharing a Router?

Answer»

I share a linksys router with others on my floor.  Is it possible for me or others to monitor what's being downloaded or what SITES are being visited?  I agreed to share my router only if people agreed not to use it to download and share music.

Thanks.TRR:

Yes; you will need to install and use a packet sniffer.

DocYou can also get a log viewer for your Linksys and will be able to see exactly which sites are connected to and which computer originated the connection. View the out going log. The incoming log can be a bit confusing because it will log every hit by advertising sites, port scanners, and anything else that attempts to connect, whether a connection is made or not. The out going log ID's by IP address.  You can enter the routers setup an look at the DHCP table and will show the computer NAME and ASSOCIATED IP.

I believe I fixed it on this computer, but on my other computer which is a Windows 98SE, I can't play certain .avi files on all players, it plays it in FAST foward, or at least it SOUNDS like it with that screeching SOUND, & the video either stays in one frame or is also in fast foward. I don't remember how I fixed it on this computer, I think I just played it on DivX, yet I can't use DivX on my other computer because it'll say "The DivX player is unable to initialize the video software REQUIRED to play this file.  There is likely a problem with your Direct X installation.  Please reinstall DirectX an try again."

Try reinstalling the audiocard and videocard drivers.

Solve : I need help in Maya?

Answer»

Good EVENING, how are you? Well I am still at the beginer level so I need little help from my seniors as YOU. I have basically three problems.

1- I got some plug-in tools from web, for example "MJ Polytool". I have seen a guy using these tools, when he was working in MAYA. I have seen there a menu named "MJ Polytools" which are not normally present in MAYA. I just want to KNOW how can I install these tools.

2- My second problem is Shaders. I need shaders of shining steel and transparent glass. Although I have some shaders of Glass but they are not of that kind which I need. So if you have any or you know any web SITE from where I can download these shaders, plz let me know. I have tried search in google but alas!!!!!

3- Third and last problem is that I have MADE a Lamp which is ON. I did place an "ambient light" INSIDE it. When I apply a material to it, I increased the "Glow Intensity" under special effects in Material Attributes, so that it emit light. The problem is that only the inner surface is glowing and the outer surface remains dark. How can I resolve it?

I shall be very thank full to you.

I use MSN Premium. Love it. I have Firefox installed, but only used it once or twice.

[glb]Flame[/glb]


I have never seen MSN Premium, but I don't understand why you'd prefer one Microsoft browser over another. They're bound to be the same. MSN is probably more 'trendy'. Show us a few screenshots.I like MSN messenger becuase (1) It doesn't crash OFTEN. (2) I can manage my calendar, address book, e-mail, download manager, etc. all from one browser. No seperate programs needed. Also, few people have MSN Premium lol  (Compared to Firefox anyway)  I'll make the screenshots now.

[glb]Flame[/glb]That EXPLAINS. I rarely use MSN and disable all uneccessary features.

Which means I disable everything but the text messaging.Here are the screenshots incase you still want to see them... Note: You might need to select the option to make these images "fit to page" in oprder to see them CORRECTLY...

Or was the laptop on?

LopTops dont normally glow unless its 1 of the 2 above.

if its not those 2 above,


Phone up Most Haunted!!!!

I have some questions and suggestions....

(1) Was it dark in the room?
(2) if the screen was closed, adjust power settings to turn it off when you close it.
(3) What color is it glowing?
(4) Does it talk too?
(5) Stop drinking
(6) Get some sleep
(7) Call an exorcist, and splash some holy water on the cover, but be careful not to get any on the KEYS.
( 8 ) Light candles around it, and a holy cross or two...

Feeling better... ?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Wow

No Joke but...

People would pay lots for that kind of advice Ive talked to a few people and they think that it's the backlight or the battery.  As for drinking...um no....I'm under 21...
But I did get a kick out of the holy water  

And it glowed in a whitish color...like it was fading, in case youre still wonderingTry removing and reinserting the battery, then.my guess is,

The laptop glows to tell you that its on. so you dont walk out and let it burn out.

Dont worry about it.

Right now my Monitor is glowing and im Cool with it

R0SS(1) Turn your flashlight off
(2) Your firends are probably pulling your leg

Pax Americana. As the United States loses it dominant position in the world marketplace to China, it must create conflicts. In so doing, the goal is to convince us it remains an  indispensable cog in the global machinery. Like the Roman Empire and every dominant civilization that has gone before, the USA is *censored* bent on retaining its grasp as the sole economic and military superpower on the planet. Empires have a history of going down in flames and in wars, and the USA, apparently, will be no exception.
Yes Hopester, when compared to the Roman Empire, American dominance is just a small blip on the scale.

What beats me is, given the few days warning they got what were all those people still doing in the path of the storm?

what is the relation between mhz and mipsthe more Mhz the faster SOMTHING will go.


MIPS is just a type of TECNOLOGY that is bult into prosessors http://www.mips.com

Why do you want to know?Mhz is strictly related to frequency - the number of cycles per second. A 2 mhz processor runs at 2 million cycles per second. Mips is million(s) INSTRUCTIONS per second. If a 2 mhz processor handles 1 instruction per cycle, it is 2 mips. If it handles 2 instructions per cycle, it is 4 mips. MIPS TECHNOLOGY (a company name), on the other hand, has nothing to do with mhz nor mips EXCEPT what it builds into its own processors and cores.wow cool, you lern somthing new evryday!Guess somebody will get an A+ when they turn in their homework assignment.Oops!

Hello again  Would anybody know why, in my Add/Remove Programs list, there are huge, thick, black, solid blocks taking up a great deal of space... above them are 8 programs, and way way down low below them, there are 19 programs.  It hasn't always looked like this.  Would there be a problem of some type?  Thankyou very much if you have any info about it.I wish you luck.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q266668Did you scan for Viruses, Trojan Horses and spyware?

There is another thread which discussed a problem the same as yours. Try to find it. If I come across it, I will post it here.Thankyou guys - my first chance to read your replies!  I scan for spyware and adware every night, and do virus scans 2 - 3 times a month.

From what Fed said, the black slabs would be the result of something I did in Registry First Aid.  My Mum gave me c.d.s of games - Hoyles Board Games, and Eureka Word Scramble.  The Eureka was fine, but it was straight after I installed the Hoyles one that I got the black slabs.  So I went back in time in the Registry Aid.  This happened quite a few weeks ago, and I don't remember why I didn't just uninstall the game and went to the Registry Aid.  Anyway, after that, the CONTROL Panel was back to normal straight away.  

I later re-installed it, just to SEE if it happened again and it did, so re-undid it (yes, you are probably pulling out your hair about me!).  Even though it's off the computer now, the slabs are still there.

I hope it's not too serious, because Fed's answer looks difficult.  I will study it in detail today, and decide what to do.

Thanking you.


The first two steps look simple enough...

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, and then type CMD.
2. At the PROMPT, type REGSVR32 APPWIZ.CPL.
3. If this fails, slit your wrists.
Just read Fed's last comment after a morning in hospital and nearly all night as well... sorry for the delay.

I don't appreciate your comments/the way you say things.  If I do return to this forum, please do not reply.

I won't bother slitting my wrists, thanks.  I've had enough of hospitals too.  I hope you enjoy success at your computer.That was rather uncalled for, Fed.

Let know if the article was of any use.

I haven't come across the other thread yet, but the article seems very detailed.Please accept my apology katrina, I did not mean to offend you.  
Please understand, in my world a comment like that would not raise an eyebrow, it is just a saying.  My first chance to read messages again - thankyou for your understanding Raptor.  I still have not had a chance to read the whole article, but the initial 2 steps did not work, so looks like bad news.  But truthfully, I have had no problems in any way on the computer since the Add/Remove changed it's look.  It was merely a curiosity that made me write about it.  But if it is serious news, I will find out when I read the whole article.

Thanks Fed, but when I am a bit more than a novice but far from a professional, bad news such as your article seems to bear plus your comments which seemed to prove how difficult things will be, plus slitting of wrists making them see even MORE serious, weren't endearing with many other problems I have in the world right now, health-wise and financially, with yesterday being a very, very low day.

Well, I must study it - thankyou.Let us know if you need any help. Should you start editing the registry , if the article wants you to, that is, use the following program instead of Regedit: Registrar Lite

Answer»

Hi. I have a BURNED DVD with some video files on it. When I play them in WMP10 or with Power DVD, I can see no video, I only hear sound. It plays fine on my father in law's machine.

Properties shows the file types as: MOVIE File (mpeg) or Video Clip. I'm running Win XP with a Radion 9600 video card.

Thanks for your HELP. And this is a good site. I come here alot.You MAY be lacking Codecs that your father in law does have.So how do I solve this problem?You will have to install the same codecs that your father-in-law has.

Ask him where he obtained these and what he has installed.

Solve : Service Pack Management?

Answer»

This is what I'm trying to do:  We have about 150 computers and I'm trying to find a way to GET a list with every computer and what Operating SYSTEM and Service Pack they currently have on their PC.  Is there a way to do this through the MMC or Activce Directory, if so, how?  Also, maybe there is a free program out there that I don't know about that does this for you as well.  Any help would be great.  

THANKSYOU should look at the tools on this page. Perhaps you find what you need.It helped out a lot.  Thank You!Did you find what you need?Have you added the computers to the network already? In Server 2003 active directory under computers it LISTS all your computers if you click on properties of each computer you can SEE what the OS and service pack are

Web Bug FAQ

What exactly is a Web Bug?

A Web bug is a graphic on a Web page or in an e-mail message designed to monitor who is reading the page or message. Web bugs are often invisible because they are typically only 1-by-1 PIXELS in size. In many cases, Web bugs are placed on Web pages by third parties INTERESTED in collecting data about visitors to those pages.

What information is sent to a server by a Web bug?

The IP address of the computer that fetched the Web bug
The URL of the page that the Web bug is located on
The URL of the Web bug image, which contains the information to be communicated between the Web page visited and the site collecting the data
The time the Web bug was viewed
The type of browser that fetched the Web bug image
A previously set COOKIE value

(Although this might not seem like much, these items can be used to spread information between multiple Web sites. Click here for a more detailed explanation.)

What are some of the uses of a Web bug on a Web page?

Web bugs can be used to provide an independent accounting of how many people have visited a particular Web site. Web bugs are also used to gather statistics about Web browser use at different sites on the Internet.

In addition, advertising networks can use Web bugs to collect information on what sites a person is visiting to create a personal profile. The personal profile is stored in a database server belonging to the ad network and identified by the browser cookie of the network. The profile determines what banner ad one is shown at a later time.

A more detailed outline of the uses of Web bugs appears under Advanced Topics.

Why are they called Web bugs?

A "bug" is a SMALL eavesdropping device. It's not a euphemism for a programming error.

Rather than the term "Web bugs," the Internet advertising community prefers the more sanitized term "clear GIFs." Web bugs are also known as "1-by-1 GIFs," "invisible GIFs." and "BEACON GIFs."

Are all invisible GIF images Web bugs?

No. Invisible GIF files are also used for alignment purposes on Web pages. A Web bug will typically be loaded from a different Web server than the rest of the page, so they are easy to distinguish from alignment GIF files.
