In Group Policy or your login script (whichever is redirecting your My Documents folder) change the redirect from a drive letter to the full UNC path name. I've heard that this resolves the problem although I've not tested it personally.

Where did it all go wrong? Fable 2 DLC = Pay once to get a massive island to explore, a whole new major quest line to follow, new armour, new weapons and a way to bring back your faithful dog. Fable 3 = Pay to get the dyes!! Pay more to get the quests. Pay even more to get the extra weapons and outfits. Pay, pay, pay. Is this really the future of console gaming? Where is the value for money? I understand this model in Free to Play games on PC and tablets, but the sales model on consoles should be entirely different.

Reminds me of when Fable 3 came out on Xbox 360. Had to pay on the release day to unlock content already on the disc that I'd paid for! You wouldn't buy a car from a dealership and then pay the salesman again so you could have the keys. Why is it acceptable in the gaming world? New levels and extra content 6-12 months down the line yes, but not stuff that you've already bought.

At the moment my two only have laptops so I rely on a FireFox web filter add-in, can't remember what it's called. Seems to work while they are young enough not to want to play around with the add-ins. I've got an Ubuntu fileserver on an old PC at home and I've been thinking about setting up some kind of web filter on that routing all network traffic through the server. DansGuardian has been one that's popped up in my searches. I understand that Untangle is a pretty good all-in-one gateway as is the Endian opensource software.

Thanks very much, I'll look into that program.

I've just taken over a new network and I've been working through their login script and Group Policy and have noticed this 'Extra Registry Setting' appearing. Extra Registry Settings Display names for some settings cannot be found. You might be able to resolve this issue by updating the .ADM files used by Group Policy Management. Setting State Winning GPO Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMovieMaker\MovieMaker 1 Default Domain Policy I can't track it down in Group Policy as it appears the template is missing or not working properly. It appears to be an old Server 2003 setting that doesn't really do anything now that Windows MovieMaker is not installed by default in Windows 7, but it's very annoying that it's there and I want to be rid of it. I've found the GPO in the system.adm template from Server 2003 but when I try to convert and import it Windows says that the setting already exists. If I import the ADMX template anyway the group policy editor just gives me loads of syntax errors about the file. Is there anyway to get rid of this gpo without having the ADM/ADMX template or does anyone know which ADMX template in Server 2008 R2 might be responsible for this setting?

We used to use Netgear equipment religiously up until a year ago. Since then all of the Netgear equipment we have got has been next to useless. Wifi in one school can't hold a solid N signal and setting up the controller was sheer hell. We've still got three Netgear switches that, despite a two year support ticket with Netgear and all three going back for repair, still will not communicate with each other over a fibre channel. I'd give a major thumbs up to Unify wireless as that has been a godsend to us.

I've seen this happen when the My Documents folder is redirected to a network location by group policy.

+1 for unify. Cheap but really good.

We user Ruckus in one of the schools I work at and it's a really reliable system. However we've also had great success with Ubiquity - software based controller, cool UFO shaped APs and much cheaper than the other two.

Does the windows 7 PC have UAC enabled? I've found that can cause problems on older software not destined specifically for windows 7.

I use Comodo Dragon. It's an offshoot of Chrome but it seems to be pretty responsive for my needs.

Just to note, if you do decide to add different Linux distros to the mix, you can run the GUI tool boot-repair to automatically detect all installed OSes and update GRUB accordingly.

Our favourites include Family Guy, American Dad, Jonathan Creek and The IT Crowd. I'm also a big fan of Alias. We're just working our way through Dexter on Netflix and I've also started watching Continuum as well. My other half enjoys Bad Girls and can sit and watch them all day long if left to it!

+1 to Plex Media Alternatively look into XBMC or using an Xbox 360 (if you have one) and a Windows Media Center enabled PC hosting the films.
