Ditto Rugger - a long-time player and nice guy; outstanding addition to the admin team!!!

Mord's one of our regulars on Ace Mod, a good player, and involved. expect we'll be shipping him an app in short order.

Rule number one for Game/Head Admin: senior admin get 50 percent of all bribes and that's off the top. Don't try to screw us TJ or we'll put Mean Dean on your ass. Congrats!

Ya but I'll bet he didn't give you a key to the XI Admin bathroom and whorehouse, now did he?

Welcome Viper: a pleasure to kill you with tags on and you're in the right server!!!

Godmode provides the user easy access to all the configuration settings of the operating system. Simply create a new folder anywhere, and then give it a name followed by the string: Godmode. ED7BA470 (-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C) Upon approval, the name of the folder you created the appearance of the icon will change. Change the behavior of the object, double-click a blank window will not start Windows Explorer, but a window filled with a list sorted in categories of settings. These are all the settings to which you have access through the Control Panel applets, administration consoles, panels, etc. Task As you can see, the function godmode not provide access to new and unknown possibilities, but just a grouping of all the system settings in one window is a great help for advanced users and administrators. Trick works not only in Windows 7 You can also use it in Windows Vista, but WARNING! with the exception of a 64-bit edition of the system. Attempting to create a folder godmode on 64-bit edition of Windows Vista may crash the system and prevent it from running again - you may need to boot into safe mode or start the recovery console to delete the troublesome folder.

What they did was put a bootable drive from an identical system in as C, and the original drive in as D. When you click my computer, you see the original drive as 280GB, which is what its size was. But when you right click on the drive and select Properties, the drive shows as FAT32 with a size of 10MB. If you double click it to open it, there are two files shown there, both with wierd names, that don't do anything. So, you folks think that if we run a program to change the boot sector from FAT32, back to NTFS, that the data may then be accessible? That would save me an incredible amount of work and heartache. I'm trying to remember the command he issued at the C prompt in XP Recovery; I think it was MBRFix.

We use all Dell systems and the last batch our IT department bought last year were ordered with XP Professional - I got one when my previous system died. That piece of shit Outlook Express started acting up as it always does eventually, popping up that Compact Messages warning that never goes away, and which keeps coming back because every time you try to compact messages, it complains that some folders are in use. So I rebooted and hit F8 and expecting to see the screen to allow me to boot in safe mode so I could compact folders without something interfering with it. But that screen wasn't there - it said said Windows Vista, although the OS is XP. So, I launched MSCONFIG, clicked the boot tab and instructed the system to reboot into safe mode, which it did: to a login screen. This is a local machine login, different than my network login, but the assholes in IT who configured this box couldn't remember what password they set for it. So one of them had the bright idea of booting from an XP install CD, launching the Recovery Console, and replacing the boot sector with the default. Only, he replaced a boot sector on a SATA NTFS drive with a default FAT32 boot sector. The result: the file system on my hard drive was instantly wiped and along with it, 20-plus years of budgets, contracts, shitloads of e-mail folders containing critical information, etc. and etc. The feeling I got when I recognized that I had just lost everything was very much like my first day back in country from Vietnam, in Boston where I went because my mother was dying at a hospital there. It was July 3, 1969, and I instantly hit the dirt when someone threw a bunch of firecrackers in back of me. I should have recognized what might happen, but shit, they don't pay to know this stuff but they DO pay these assholes to know it. We have network backup but the last time they backed me up was four months ago. So I've lost irreplaceable information, including next year's operating budget that represented three weeks of work. I haven't yet decided how I'm going to kill this bastard. I'm considering either doing something with a rusty lineoleum knife, or getting medieval on his ass with a blowtorch and a pair of pliers.

Glad you're enjoying yourself. Say, are you any relation to *C* or *E*?

It's a BLAST - lots of fun. Thanks boss!!

Welcome aboard the Good Ship Idiot, you cross-eyed son of a Transylvania slut.

Holy crap: I'm getting 12 Kbs on a 15Mbs connection trying to download 140MB or so from the redirect. Guess I'll wait a few days.

So sorry XRay and know exactly how you feel. Four weeks ago, we had to put "Baby" down. She was a registered Himalayan and we had her for 16 years. Diabetes and other problems finally got the best of her. The vet wanted to put her down earlier in the summer but the wife just wasn't ready to give up on her. But it got to the point she could hardly walk and was suffering, and we couldn't put it off any longer. We're cat people and have four others. But as with Chester, Baby will be deeply missed.

Hi Cindy. Please don't hurt me. I'm an old man I just can move as fast as I used to. Thank you. And welcome!!!

My hootch was just down from the main PX near the airfield at Ton San Nhut. Any pix of that area?
