I think the key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WIDGIT\MusicFactory I just gave full permissions to it as part of the installation.

I copy a preconfigured vlcrc file to APPDATA%\vlc\vlcrc as part of a login script to deal with the update prompt etc..

Have used this: Create Maps | BatchGeo

I'm just going by this: http://kb.link2ict.org/display/4/kb/article.aspx?aid=1867

Do you know what "NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE NOTES TO INSTALL SOPHOS ENTERPRISE CONSOLE ON A WINDOWS 2008 SERVER - PLEASE CONTACT THE LINK2ICT SERVICE DESK FOR FURTHER ADVICE" found in the guidance notes is in reference too? I'm still waiting for Link2ICT to get back to me with an answer.

Special School with PMLD, SLD and autistic pupils: Lots of Switches and BigMack switches Touchscreen LCD's Smartboards in classrooms Portable Interactive Plasma screen Coloured keyboards - with lowercase lettering Couple Wireless trackballs Interactive Photoalbums Switch controlled MP3 player - just trying them Sensory room - like Mr Ben could do with a refurb Optimusic system - but that got destroyed Used to have some soundbeam stuff - but again it got broken. Where possible they use "normal" kit - specialist ICT is very expensive. We tried mercury switch stuff but that never really took off. Software similar to Mr.Ben with some more switch based software and the Sherston "mega" bundle.

It just doesn't feature an accounts module.

I believe portable version will run happily from a shared folder. Just out of personal interest, managed to get total size needed down to 556kB, using an older portable version with upx compression and deleting the dll's.

Maybe have a script running CCleaner to tidy up the files. I think it has to run in the user context, so would be restricted to a logon script. See above

Never had any success flashing embedded NIC - manufactures don't seem to ever provide any updates. It may be a risk, but you could try BootUtil.exe –DEFCFG to reset the eeprom to default config.

Thanks for that - didn't spot it and quite enjoyed the first series!

Not sure if this'll help. But i did a RSS ticker this way. and changed the to

I originally installed rockbox when one of the official firmwares added a volume limit to comply with some EU legislation. I since learnt that setting the region to North America removes the cap and enables the full volume again. I've found rockbox works better with the way I have my mp3s. Most of them don't have ID3 tags and are just in folders and i was too lazy to create playlists, which sometimes got a little annoying navigating albums on the original firmware. It has a customisable display, more granular audio controls and you can play snake! If you are happy with the original firmware i can't say there is any overwhelming reason to change, but neither have i considered going back. IIRC clip v2 have official firmware start with 2. and clip v1 start with 1.
-
Another vote for the clip. Mine has survived a machine wash too! Although listed as unstable, I've been running rockbox on it for a while without any problems. The only thing I'd say is expect to purchase new headphones. The ones supplied are poor (probably partly the reason for the low overall price) and don't do the clip any justice at all.

Also got 3.1.0.4 and have crashes on folder opening. Seems to happen more often when using "Find Printers" from the Add printer dialog. Never got to the bottom of this and has been going on for many versions.

The knowledge base suggests you need to contact the service desk to enable POP. I had Thunderbird working with POP without contacting them - but perhaps i was just lucky. http://kb.link2ict.org/display/4/kb/article.aspx?aid=1524&n=1&docid=1582&tab=search

I hate this one, especially as there is no way to "release" an email. Instead I have to explain to the user what to do or mostly I end up zipping the attachment myself and then send it on - but it does cause some confusion for the recipient.

I use http://www.schoolname.bham.sch.uk as the host name in Filezilla and it works ok. Note you can ftp from within the BGFL.
-
Our website was migrated from BGFL+ and went ok. FTP access is only available from within BGFL and seems a little slow to initiate connections, but worked without any problems. The "old" copy still exists on http://schoolname.plus.myvle.org and can you can still access the sina admin stuff at that address.
-
What are people doing with My Personal Message Manger (MyPMM)? Staff seem to be getting a little confused as its another thing to login to. I asked if we could delegate all accounts to a single automatically so it was more like the old BGFL+ system, but apparently it can only be requested by each individual user. I suspect no one will actually ever login to MyPMM to release an email, which might not matter I suppose, kinda depends on how well it filters....

We use nconvert and a batch file and it seems to work quite well: NConvert Software - Free graphic and photo batch converter Call the batch file with the required directory, or hard code it into the batch file, and wait @echo off rem if "%1"=="" goto no_files for /R %1 %%a in (*.jpg) do nconvert.exe -out jpeg -ratio -rflag decr -resize 2048 0 -keepfiledate "%%a" goto exit :no_files echo Please call batch file with folder name echo e.g resize "s:\" pause :exit exit -
Sorry for butting in, but the data in that screen shot looks suspiciously real.

something like this unsophsticated batch file method? REM Compare results of ping command when server is off and the current status REM If they are the same assume server is off and send email REM off1.log is the result of "Ping SERVER1-IP" when the server can't be contacted REM bmail from http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/cmdlinemail/cmdlinemail.htm REM sleep from Windows 2003 Resource Kit @echo off :Start REM Server 1 ping SERVER1-IP >live1.log fc off1.log live1.log >nul if errorlevel 1 ( bmail -s SMTP-SERVER -t TO -f FROM -h -a "Server 1 Down" -b "Opps, Server 1 down at %time%" ) REM Server 2 ping SERVER2-IP >live2.log fc off2.log live2.log >nul if errorlevel 1 ( bmail -s SMTP-SERVER -t TO -f FROM -h -a "Server 2 Down" -b "Opps, Server 2 down at %time%" ) REM ETC..... REM Wait 60 seconds Sleep 60 REM Return goto start
