I liked item 5 on your list Si

Doesn't work on XP and they kept that news secret - not impressed in the slightest Si

Always have a spare battery on a night out Si

Its just a title Like "1 Hour Cleaners" is just the name of the shop Si

Not there now - will do next week Si

If I was buying today - then it would be an S2. Si

Really? My ICT Co-ordinator Fanbois told me you could sync/use the app up to 5 devices if synced with the one computer. Si

Tried that one - nothing their. There is a hiiden desktop.ini file that mentions icons in the folders but even when that's copied - still no "pretty" fodler icons Si

I've run out of time - will give suggestions a go next week Ta everyone Simon

@localzuk - I like the idea but the process is hanging on me when I try to go through the results tree _ i'm going to try a quikc server reboot. Si

All 3 disabled Si

Some clever so and so (e.g teacher wit htime on their hands ) has produced a maths resource CD and has included instructions to click on the folder with the star or click on the folder with the green arrow. Trouble is - if you copy the CD to a computer - the folder icon goes back to the normal yellow folder default. Any ideas? Si

Nope - got that disabled now (it was enabled) (And yes I've been doing gpupdate /force and re-booting the workstation ) Si

I'm in the process of trying to restore right-click "functionality" on the teachers desktop to a locked down w2k3 setup but I can't find where its being restricted. Any clues please? Si

No -I'm not happy with what it stops me from doing Si

Yes - I presume that's what is does as well and since its got the ability to easily assign computers to printers I don't see any point in removing it but I don't like having to logout when a user has a problem and then log back in as an admin - not when I'm only there 3 hours a week Si

I'm not GPOphobic - I'll use one if I have too Ta Si

Ok then - one more time When I started in this job in primaries a lot of the machines wern't even networked - they had 2 machines per class with a printer switch to share a printer. Things soon progressed to each machine being networked and using HP business inkjets and simply using a Win98 machine as a file/print server. ChrisH used to work for my main network supplier and had a simple setup to map different drive letters to a folder for each class - I modified this approach and wrote a simpel AutoIt GUI app to map P: drive the the appropriate class folder. I got into using WPKG to semi-automatically install software. When W2k3 servers came along (and once I'd been shown how to set one up) I just stuck to my simple method of using them as file/print servers but also took advantage of using them as DNS/DHCP servers as well. In some cases, my original Win98 servers are still running as VMs inside W2k3 servers as its saved me the trouble of renaming things And I haven't had to learn about GPOs and AD - and I NEVER get a corrupt profile Anyway -getting back to the question No way of doing something centrally? Si

done....

I've moved into a school that has Viglen Classlink installed and is used by the ICT Co-ord to administer the network. For those that know me, I'm used to completely un-restricted single user logon, non-domain clients and am really impressed that right click does nothing on the pupil desktops Now I'd like to not throw the baby out with the bath water (e.g turn each computer into single admin user and just use the existing server as a file server as I like the Viglen printer/file restriction management) but I'd like to completely remove any computer restrictions from all users (lets not get into the rights and wrongs of this - its what I'd like to do ) What do I need to do to make every user have full admin rights every computer? regards Simon

1. What's ARD? 2. I (and an ICT Co-ord at anotehr school) have simple purchased an ITunes pre-paid card and use that to buy apps for school. (Obviously this only works in small numbers ) Si

My daughter's using her laptop to watch DVDs etc at Uni and has an Iphone4 - anyone using a remote control app on their IPhone to simply act as a wireless mouse? Si

FFing FF! (One day I'll learn to check what happens in different browsers BEFORE going public!) I'll have a play with some the css for the module and see if I can get it work in FFing FF Si

I've developed this Calendar for Parents on Website to give a simple diary of events from a google calendar and I've embeded it into Kingsfold Primary School (left side) but as you can see it gets cropped I've tried adjusting the settings the mod_wrapper module to auto height but it just picks a value (200) and crops it. Any ideas (to cure mod_wrapper or a DFA)? Si

:-) Thats the bit I hadn't twigged - thanks very much Si
