If you want this just as a batch script then you could use @echo off for /f "delims=" %%j in ( ' dir /b /ad' ) do del /f /s /q %%j for /f "delims=" %%j in ( ' dir /b /ad' ) do for /f "delims=" %%i in ( ' dir %%j /b /ad' ) do rd /s /q "%%j\%%i" This will first delete all files in all sub directories and then it deletes all sub folders too (I couldn't find a command to do both at the same time) so if you had for example a folder structure:- D --users ----y2010 ------pupil1 ------pupil2 ----y2009 ------pupil3 ------pupil4 ----y2008 ------pupil5 ------pupil6 If you ran the batch file from inside each of the y2010, y2009 and y2008 folders then it would go into each sub folder (e.g. pupil1, 2, etc...) and empty both files and folders while leaving the pupil1, pupil2 folders in place. Obviously you need to be very careful with a batch file like this... running it in the wrong place could be bad

Good luck out there

Ah, cool, glad you found it. Have fun, I love mrbs.

I've checked all my MRBS files and the database. While I can find a few references using enable_periods it is set nowhere else. Sorry, but I can't think of anywhere else it could be. Is this a fresh install? If so have you tried creating from scratch again, just in case there is some silly syntax error causing issues...

Probably wont help as I tried at my end and changing didn't remove my periods, but I figured its worth a try.... Have you tried TRUE instead of True for enable_periods?

I tend to stick with Ventrilo because of the ability to alter individual user volumes (unless teamspeak has moved on to provide that in the last few years) and being able to be connected to multiple vent servers at once.

We use USBDLM for handling external drives. Please see this previous post for how the scan with macafee, would just need modifying for you av scanner http://www.edugeek.net/forums/hardware/46035-total-ban-removable-media-2.html#post424593

Would love to have the msi if you've already done the hard work Cheers

Beat me too it, we get this in Warks too, I suspect many RBCs do

Yeah, tried that, same deal, does nothing on the client, however in an rdp to another machine this also works. It is like something is running on the local machine capturing the input before it gets to explorer. We also have mdaxel running for creating new folders with a shortcut key setup for windows key + N. This has also stopped working, so it isn't just explorer

No, nothing on the local policy

2 of the machines are not GPO controlled, but it might be worth looking at their local policy settings, I'll let you know

Watch out for having Serif MoviePlus 4 (and possibly other older versions) installed, it bring a codec that cause IE to crash when loading clipbank movies. We ended up scripting the removal of the offending file (can't remember name, but if you get crashes the filename is in the error popup)

In the last week I have had 3 machines (2 staff laptops and one controlled curriculum desktop) have their windows key stop functioning in windows. If I remote from those machines to another the windows key works on the remote machine so I know the keyboard is okay. While these machines share some common software/configuration I am concerned that this has happened suddenly. Concerns like virus/spyware/windows update/etc... all come to mind. Has anyone else comes across/fixed this? Thanks. Alex

I have recently been trying to install CS3 to Windows 7 deployments. If I install manually using the GUI they work fine, but if I use the silent install (which worked under XP) it fails. After a lot of searching I found the problem (though why it doesn't break the manual install too I don't know) In .\payloads\AdobeIllustrator13en_US and .\payloads\AdobePhotoshop10en_US there are xml files with proxy in the name. At the bottom of each file is a section which refers to Windows XP, Windows Vista and a couple of others, but it doesn't include Windows 7 (it wasn't about) and therefore the silent install fails because it reckons the operating system isn't acceptable. I did briefly try modifying the section the include Windows 7, but I rapidly got bored at guessing and just deleted the entire from both xml files. After deleting that section the silent install worked fine under Windows 7. Obviously this would also allow you to install to systems that really aren't compatible, but so long as you only want Windows 7 (and above I guess!) then this will work.

Nice, I hope xibo goes well, it's made life so much easier here.

We have this entry in our USBDLM reg entry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Uwe Sieber\USBDLM\OnArrival] "Force"="1" "open"="\"%ProgramFiles%\\McAfee\\VirusScan Enterprise\\scan32.exe\" %drive%" It causes the McAfee scanner to scan the USB stick, sadly the window remains open after the scan even if nothing is found. It is useful to scan for the kids sake as no executables can run from USB sticks within school. Just an aside, unless you use another key to demote the "OnArrival" part of USBDLM runs with local admin privs.

No info, but where do you work? I could do with 20k

Thanks, the reset to defaults, worked here too. However, I got stuck at the next stage... We run SIMS off Z:\ instead of S:\ but it won't let me set the shared Sims application folder to Z:\Sims manually and it doesn't show any of the network drives when I use browse... Any thoughts? Cheers I think this may be because the administrative install doesn't have the drives maps, doing a full network path install atm, seems to be working...

Ah the joy of search! I was just about to ask something similar when I figured I best search rather than get a wrists slapped! Anyway, waffle over, I'll be trying this before too long and I'll let you know how it goes.

We block:- .igoogle.com .gmodules.com .googlecode.com This still allows igoogle to function (so you don't get stuck at a block page forever!) but prevents the bulk of the widgets working.

Just wanted to add my amazement... Incredible work!
