			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When using Microsoft Remote Desktop to connect to remote computers, you can force the option to connect to the console session by using the /admin switch (or /console switch if you run older versions of the terminal services client.)</p>
<p>You used to be able to use the setting:</p>
<div class="geshi no cmd">
<ol>
<li class="li1">
<div class="de1">connect to console:i:i</div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>to save the option in an RDP file. This stopped working in the latest version of the RDP client (version 6.1).</p>
<p>After doing a lot of research (I don&#8217;t know why Microsoft doesn&#8217;t just list the current available options for RDP saved sessions!) I finally found out how to save this option in the current version of the RDP client from <a href="http://forums.techarena.in/windows-server-help/1076884.htm" rel="external">this</a> obscure posting.</p>
<p>To save the &#8220;connect to console&#8221; setting &#8212; essentially forcing the &#8220;/admin&#8221; switch, put this line in your RDP file:</p>
<div class="geshi no cmd">
<ol>
<li class="li1">
<div class="de1">administrative session:i:1</div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had a Dell PowerEdge 1750 that, every time it was rebooted, would stop in the BIOS bootup sequence and prompt you to &#8220;Press F1 to Continue, Press F2 for Setup.&#8221; This was a huge problem because it made remote rebooting the server impossible. More than once, I forgot and rebooted the server assuming it would come back up, then realized 30 minutes later that it was never coming back until I mashed that F1 key. This was particularly problematic when working from home &#8212; resulting in a 30 mile drive just to press one key.</p>
<p>It turns out there was a small problem that was severe enough to prevent the server from booting. During the BIOS sequence, there was a notice we had overlooked that read &#8220;CD-ROM not found.&#8221; Once we pulled the bad CD-ROM drive and replaced it with a good one, the message went away and the server booted without interaction.</p>
<p>Since the CD-ROM isn&#8217;t necessary for booting, it seemed odd that a missing (or bad) CD-ROM drive would prevent the server from starting up without keyboard interaction. Sounds like a flaw in the BIOS to me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently had a problem with my laptop where I couldn&#8217;t update Adobe Acrobat because something had corrupted the installation. Acrobat (and the rest of the CS apps) ran fine, but I couldn&#8217;t update because the updater would throw an error, something about &#8220;source for the installation could not be found.&#8221; After much Googling and trying several options, I realized I would have to manually uninstall the whole CS3 suite and reinstall. Ugh.</p>
<p><span id="more-522"></span>Since I am very particular about my settings and preferences (fonts, palettes, brushes, code-views, views, etc.) in many of the CS apps (especially Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash) I was really dreading have to start over with all the default settings. I also had downloaded and installed some custom Dreamweaver extensions (adding support for Perl code, and some other stuff.) After placing a call with Adobe support, I asked if they had any kind of tech note or something that would help me figure out how to save or export all my settings so that I could restore them after reinstalling. The tech I spoke with said there was no way to do it, so I knew I was on my own.</p>
<p>After trying several different things, I think I finally figured out everything I needed to save in order to restore my working environment and preferences after the reinstall. This was all done using Windows XP sp 3 &#8230; Vista&#8217;s file locations would be different.</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s what I backed up before uninstalling:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Custom file format plugins</strong>
<p>I use a couple of file format plugins not included with the Photoshop install (*.ico and *.wmf) so I had to back those up. They were stored in the following directory:</p>
<p><code>C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\File Formats</code></p>
</li>
<li><strong>Custom/downloaded brushes</strong>
<p>In addition, I have a few downloaded and purchased Photoshop brushes. Those were stored in the following directory:</p>
<p><code>C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Brushes</code></p>
</li>
<li><strong>Application settings from the disk</strong>
<p>Next I grabbed all the preferences and settings stored on the disk, which meant getting the following directories under <strong>C:\Documents and Settings\(USERNAME)\Application Data\Adobe\</strong> &#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><code>Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings</code></li>
<li><code>Adobe PDF</code></li>
<li><code>Adobe Photoshop CS3</code></li>
<li><code>Bridge CS3</code></li>
<li><code>Dreamweaver 9</code></li>
<li><code>Extension Manager</code></li>
<li><code>Flash Video Encoder</code></li>
<li><code>Plugins</code></li>
<li><code>Save For Web</code></li>
<li><code>Save For Web AI</code></li>
</ul>
<p>You have to delete a few things from the <strong>Dreamweaver 9</strong> folder above before restoring to the new install &#8230; delete any WinFileCache*.dat files stored in <strong>Dreamweaver 9\Configuration</strong> as well as the entire <strong>Dreamweaver 9\Configuration\Temp</strong> folder.</p>
</li>
<li><strong>Application settings from the registry</strong>
<p>It appears that a couple of CS3&#8242;s apps don&#8217;t store their settings in the Application Data folder above, but instead use the registry. This means you need to export the following registry keys:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>HKCU\Software\Adobe\Flash 9</code><strong></strong></li>
<li><code>HKCU\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>With all those files safely backed up, I started the process of uninstalling. Since the uninstall from Add/Remove Programs control panel didn&#8217;t work (it also failed with the &#8220;Source for this installation was not found&#8221; error) I used the instructions from <a href="http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401090.html" rel="external">http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401090.html</a> to remove it manually. Then I ran the CS3Clean script (from <a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html" rel="external">http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html</a>) to clean up any artifacts left from the previous install.</p>
<p>Next I reinstalled from my original media (which took a lonnnnnnnnnnnggg time.) When it finished, I launched Photoshop (to get the registration stuff over with) and then quit. I restored the registry settings from the export above, then restored all the files I backed up we well. The next time I launched, all my settings where there! So far, no glitches in Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, Flash or Dreamweaver!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently installed some software on my PC (Windows XP sp 3) and part of the installation process required changes to NTFS disk permissions. The installer somehow got confused (it was actually a bug in the installer) and it managed to foul up all the permissions on my disk. I mean <strong>all of them,</strong> disk-wide. I couldn&#8217;t even open my control panels. After hours of research (using another computer) I finally found <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787368.aspx" class="offsite" title="Reapply default security settings" rel="external">this article</a> at MS Technet.</p>
<p>The final command line I issued was this:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Application design is very important. The user-interface (UI) for applications should be clean and easy to read, and the font choices (while subject to personal preference) is critical. Some applications do a great job while others, especially apps that are designed for cross-platform use, tend to be hit or miss. <a href="http://nmap.org/" class="offsite" title="Nmap network analyzer" rel="external">Nmap</a>, which is an excellent network diagnosis tool, is a great application but the choice of monospace font on the Windows platform (Courier New) is dismal. Fortunately, it&#8217;s easy to change this. Simply open the file pango.aliases (usually found in <em>C:\Program Files\Nmap\zenmap\etc\pango\</em>) and edit the line that reads</p>
<pre>monospace = "courier new,courier monothai,mingliu,simsun, ...</pre>
<p>Just add whatever font you want for the monospace font at the beginning of the quoted string. For example, to use Microsoft&#8217;s new open-type <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=22e69ae4-7e40-4807-8a86-b3d36fab68d3&#038;displaylang=en" class="offsite" title="Download details: Consolas Font Pack" rel="external">Consolas</a>, simply change that line to read:</p>
<pre>monospace = "consolas,courier new,courier monothai,mingliu,simsun, ...</pre>
<p><span id="more-355"></span><br />
Here is a sample of the default (with Courier New):</p>
<div class="imgwrapperright"><a href="javascript:void(0)"><img width="460" height="621" src="http://www.simmonsconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/nmap-courier.png" alt="" /></a></div>

<p>Finally, here is a sample using Lucida Console, my favorite:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always wondered about how to change the default behavior for MS Word, because the default paste mode is to try to use the existing formatting of whatever text you have cut. If you cut and paste much from web sites, this can wreak havoc on your layout. I finally decided to Google it tonight and found the easy fix from MS Office Online.</p>
<p>You too can <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA010429611033.aspx" title="Paste text without the formatting into a Word document - Help and How-to - Microsoft Office Online" class="offsite" rel="external">paste text without the formatting</a> into a Word document, according to this <em>Help and How-to from Microsoft Office Online</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been beating my head against the wall for an hour now and finally figured out the answer so I have to document it here. (This has everything to do with my OCD-ness.) When you are editing a Cisco Catalyst config (running CatOS) sometimes you make a mistake in the port configuration and you want to return it to a completely unconfigured state. Unfortunately, CatOS likes to keep remnants of the commands you have entered and it is hard to get rid of those parts, especially the trunking commands. For example, if you change the trunking state of a port then want to return it to an unconfigured mode, it might keep something like:</p>
<div class="geshi no text">
<ol>
<li class="li1">
<div class="de1">clear trunk &lt;mod&gt;/&lt;port&gt; 1&#45;4094</div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>in the configuration. For the OCD in me, this drives me nuts. I want it to say nothing about the port. The way to remove or delete the &#8220;clear trunk&#8221; part from your CatOS config, you must enter the following command:</p>
<div class="geshi no text">
<ol>
<li class="li1">
<div class="de1">set trunk &lt;mod&gt;/&lt;port&gt; auto negotiate 1&#45;4094</div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>This should remove all traces of port trunking configuration from your config file.</p>
