I'm all Googled out on this one - the Win10 settings that are supposed to hide your tray icons don't work on my new machine. I can hide or show system icons, like the volume control, but application icons will not hide. No matter what I do, I can't get the system tray expansion area to appear.
Any one else had this and figured it out?

I assume you've checked that "Always show all icons in the notification area" is set to "Off"?

Yes...it doesn't seem to matter what I set the visibility settings to, the only thing that makes a difference to the tray is the showing/hiding of system icons.
Does it depend on something else I wonder? I have all the 'extra' taskbar things turned off and/or uninstalled (toolbars, taskview, people, search, Cortana, OneDrive, all the system icons, bar volume), I'm also running Classic Shell and UltraMon with extra taskbars on my secondary monitors.

Why are you doing that? Win 10 provides a taskbar for every monitor already.

Hello all,
Introduction:
A customer has called me to help him with a computer that doesn't starts...
CA = Company A
CB = Company B
CC = Company C
CA has a computer from CB, CB has disappeared a long time ago... CA computer controls an expensive machine that's producing almost 24x7.
CA has contacted CC to repair the computer and CC have contacted me to help  .
CA have no backups (This is Sparta!).
While booting, CA computer shows the windows 2000 logo and the progress bar grows but at a certain point the computer restarts... and this infinite loop continues once and again...
CC have found another computer from CB! That computer is not working well, but it's hard disk boots another copy of Windows 2000 embedded.
I want to help them as they can give me proper work in the future and they helped me starting my freelancing job...
Question 1:
I'm wondering if it would be worth trying to just copy all the system files from the booting windows hard disk into the non booting windows hard disk...
Question 2:
CB (the disappeared company) used to put safety measures to avoid the program to be copied into different computers, this usually includes storing a key into the registry and checking if that key is there or not...
In order to avoid this to explode, does any of you knows which files contain the registry in a windows 2000 embedded OS?
I would copy all the OS files except the ones containing the registry...
Question 3:
I don't have the administrator password, CB computers seem to log in automatically... but the recovery console ask that password...
What would you do in order to solve that boot problem?
PS: please refrain from recommending running as far as possible from the computer... I truly want to help them...
Thank you all for reading and sorry for this long post.

Hiren's boot disk to mine the password, and you can use it fix that registry trick if you like with automatic .dat parsers. Win2K should be trivial for it. Bear in mind that there is a small chance you'll frag the drive, so you might want to clone it first.
I'd also advise replacing the drive, anyway, if you can. If it's old enough for Win2K to have been relevant, it's likely starting to fray.

Thank you Nathan!
I've tried it into a VM and I've not been able to import the physical hard disk into it so I've not been able to do it...
But:
I've replaced i386 and Winnt folders from the hard disk that booted windows 2000 perfectly and voila!
We have now a perfectly running windows system.
I've needed only to update a couple of drivers.
All in all, the customer will have the machine working again.

Glad it worked out for you!

I use the HOSTS file to block ad sites. I've recently encountered a few that don't seem to be affected.
deals.slashdot.org
tracking.deltadefense.com
When I ping them, I'm told the site can't be reached/doesn't exist, but when I browse to a site that contains ads from these sites, the ads are displayed.
Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
BTW, this happens on Linux and Windows boxes.

Might be configured to not reply to a ping. Use fiddler to find out from which domain the ads are served, doubt that they're the same. Once you have that adres, add it to your host-file.

You could try flushing your DNS cache with the command "ipconfig /flushdns". The DNS entries may be cached from a time before you added those domains to your HOSTS file.

The DNS entries might be cached by your browser.
How to clear the DNS Cache? – OpenDNS[^]
Or your browser might be configured to use DoH[^], which would completely ignore your HOSTS file.

domain system user login once login system user but every time shutdown the system after user is removed in that system how to solve ?
|
|
|
|

You would need to provide more detail.
I think you are asking the following
1. A user logs into the system.
2. While the user is logged in the user is deleted.
3. How would it be possible to force the user off the system once 2 happens.

Hey everyone,
This might be a bit lengthy, but here is my situation. I am an intern at a small to medium organization. I have been tasked with getting Roaming Profiles up and running via Group Policy (I know lots of people don't like roaming profiles, again, intern so not my call). Problem: My degree is in network engineering and I have almost zero experience with group policy. I have done as much research as I can to get these things working, but I am at an impasse.
Here is what I have tried:
Step 1 - Create a security group in Active Directory on our domain controller. Controller is running Server 2012 r2. Security group includes the Test PC and Test account I created. The security group, test pc, and test account are all currently in a Test OU.
Step 2 - Create the file share. The share was created on our data server. Data server is running server 2008 (I know I know). Settings for the share include: Sharing the folder and giving the security group full control for share permissions. Under security, the security group is added with read/write permissions. Creator Owner, SYSTEM, Administrators All have full control. Users have read/write.
Inheritance has been disabled.
Step 3 - Create the GPO for the redirects - Again on our domain controller, server 2012 r2
GPO is created in the Test OU where the group, test computer, and test account are located.
Under Scope, Everything is removed and the Security Group is added. As per Microsoft's instructions, Authenticated users are added to Delegation and given read permissions.
Edit the GPO, go to Computer Configuraiton -> Administrative Templates -> System -> User Profiles -> Set Roaming profile path for all users logging onto this computer.
Edit - and set set it to "Enabled" I then entered the network path of the previously created Network Share under "Users logging onto this computer should use this roaming profile path" Apply and exit.
Step 4 - Go to the test PC. Open an elevated command prompt and use gpupdate /force. Most people seem to say you can log out at this point, but I just restarted the PC to be safe.
PC comes back up, log into one of the accounts associated with the security policy and... nada. The profile redirect does nothing.
Some things I have tried: On the Test PC, I have run gpresult /Z in a prompt window. The profile redirect policy appears in the "Applied Policies" list.
I have also tried the alternative method of setting the profile path for an individual account in Active Directory. This again does nothing.
On the network share, I have just given full blown full control permissions to everyone and everything just to see if it works. (It doesn't)
From what I am seeing it seems like one of two things, but my limited knowledge makes it hard to know. Either I have set the permissions on the network share incorrectly, or there is some other permission somewhere that is blocking any profile redirects. What complicates things is the Folder Redirection component in group policy works perfectly. I was also able to create a GPO that created a mapped drive to where the network share is housed. From the test PC, i could click on the drive, and even click ON the network share. The PC can see it, but the profiles just won't go there.
As an fyi, all of our workstations are running Windows 10
From everything I've read and with my limited understanding, I feel like this SHOULD be working. Is there something else I have not considered or some switch somewhere that needs to be flicked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just reinstalled Windows 10 on my desktop after a disk crash.
The problem is that Windows thinks it's running on a mobile device, for some reason. It shows the battery charge indicator in the taskbar, and it offers Airplane Mode, among other details.
I suppose it's not a bad problem, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can make it know it's on a desktop.
I do not know what to Google to find the answer. Perhaps someone could give me some search terms?

You might ask the manufacturer of your system (if it is not an old one).
The Airplane mode exists also for desktop systems (at least when WiFi hardware is present).
You might have a look at this thread (which I found by "windows 10 installation airplane mode"): Airplane Mode Windows 10 - Microsoft Community[^].
I have not read all posts but some mentioned that they had similar behaviours on desktop systems:
Quote: My PC is a desktop and doesn't have wireless or a battery. Then I realized that my APC battery backup had a USB cable plugged in to my PC. I removed the cable and rebooted my computer and both Airplane Mode and the Battery Saver options are gone.

Thanks! I have a UPS plugged into my machine too. That must be what's doing it.
