Yeah but again she only created the document and deleted it yesterday and the most recent previous version is the 10th.. I've come to the conclusion that if Recuva doesn't find anything then its either inaccessible or been deleted

Not really a book person (everybody keeps saying I should read more) but I just don't get a thrill out of it like most people do. (my last manager read 11 books over the 6 weeks holiday) Here's me reading Guy Martin and I'm only 40 pages in after 2 weeks haha

I'd be up for this if it was within the North West of close to it. Although I wouldn't mind a national meet once every couple of years etc in a fairly centralised place to everybody

This is what I was thinking and the only previous version was several days ago not yesterday. Seems like a lost cause..

Hi All, Unusual request today, a teacher deleted a file from her desktop folder and now wants it back as she "deleted the wrong one" the only problem is that they don't get a recycle bin icon and cannot access it through windows explorer. Does that mean the file doesn't go to the recycle bin or they cannot retrieve the file? I'm currently running Recuva on it deeply so is taking an hour or two I was just curious in the time being if there is a faster way?

Have someone hold all but one ball. Then approach them with the other ball and put it on top explaining why this is the most important.

We had this problem with a few of our printers. The issue was that there was too much paper in the tray for feeder that had been hammered and lost its "stickiness" to pull more than one sheet at a time causing blank pages to come out. Good to see you found the solution though and the Dilbert comics are hilarious

I've used ESET for many years now and never had a problem, sure it costs each year but for peace of mind it's well worth it.

How to print from Ipad to windows print server
ben_mayo replied to genesis's topic in Learning Network Manager
We just use the functionality of Bonjour to print to our MFP's. We have Ricoh MFP's so they download the Ricoh printing app and input their username and pin (which tracks their printing) this way there is always a log on the printers as to how much staff are printing whether from pc's, laptops or ipads. and they can't access anything else besides printing on the network from the ipads either, so security wise we are fine -
We use BGinfo customised to show our school logo in the middle of the desktop with the computer name and the date and time the user logged on.

Hey all, Having a weird problem where some of the schools pcs in the lower end take forever to load photos located in a folder on the server. But I've checked the pc's and the switch they run to for any backlogs but there are non. The weird part is that other pc's in the same area work perfectly fine and they are all the same machines... Any ideas on this one?

Youtube - Who has access to it?
ben_mayo replied to rad's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Yeah Bing did used to be a bit... well lets just not go there. But it seems our local LEA hasn't really caught up with the times and so many random keywords and websites which could be useful for education are blocked. (there are ways around this, but I'm on the only one that does it) I do prefer Bing over Google most of the time unless I'm doing a very specific search, but still when the schools "Kids Search" uses Bing it's a bit of a pain when they can't look at images -
Youtube - Who has access to it?
ben_mayo replied to rad's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
No-one has access to it either, not even myself. It's blocked by our LEA as is a lot of other things that don't really make any sense. I'll give you an example though... Want to search for images using Bing? Blocked But Google images works fine -
Do you consider "WWW" and "The internet" two separate things?
ben_mayo replied to Duranis's topic in General Chat
I don't get asked about the WWW really at all, its as if the word Internet has taken over the terminology of anything that is online (and some stuff that isn't but they just say internet anyway). If anybody does ask I just refer to it as a protocol and they tend to just go quiet with a blank expression. I could go into more detail but I already know they aren't interested so just chuck a technical term out there to throw them off.
