Can you please analyse all of Nagesh's past comments before proceeding to imitate him? His English was definitely way better than that.

TRWTF is that he had to drag the window to screen center before maximizing it.
Don't people learn about Alt+Spacebar+X any more?
Admin
No, I guess we don't. Two I discovered on accident:
Ctrl+Esc opens the start menu. Ctrl+Shift+Esc opens task manager.
I guess in case you don't have a windows key?

I once spent half the day trying to replace the CRT in a monitor because the picture was not being displayed correctly. After I'd broken the third allen key and my language was getting unacceptably fruity (even for an electronics repair workshop), a colleague looked over to what I was doing and suggested I might want to try changing the EHT card just in case that might have been the problem. Indeed it was.

I see. Well, sexual arousal is not uncommon during periods of nervous tension. I do not take offense.
Admin
I am very very apologizing. I was in fact being distracted by the sensation of the penis of zunesis penetrating my bum. I will repairing my English pronto.
Admin
True dat. The best climax I ever had was when I was making vicious, unwelcome love to that girl scout on the hood of that manned cop car that was stopped on the train track while the lights were flashing while fending off that nun with a razor blade. Bestest evar.

It's only one day a year and the damn kid never gets me anything, even after I take her to all her "activities"... sigh I just wanted some appreciation, you know?
Admin
I think the window adjusts position for whatever the display mode is after a reboot. I actually have had windows in the past that I wanted to be off half-screen, but lose that positioning after a bounce.

Remove the NARPAS SWORD and try again.
Admin
I will admit, though, that I don't maximize things often enough to remember the accelerator for it; while I alt-space on windows frequently enough, if I wanted to maximize a window I'd just use the arrow keys and Enter on the resulting context menu.

ctrl+shift+esc is useful when you want the task manager quickly but don't want to send the ctrl+alt+del control signal which might bring up that 6-button Windows Security window (on xp at least).
I was also once introduced (by a female, no less) the trick of double-clicking the window icon of a Windows(TM) window to close the window. She taught me all sorts of things... When she did our lab report almost by herself.
Admin
My technique for opening task manager has been ctrl+alt+del and click on the appropriate link. It's good to know there's an alternative.
Incidentally, does anyone know how to open Outlook 2010 in "safe" mode as an "admin" user? It's got a problem in that it doesn't open when not in safe mode, but in order to disable the add-ins I need to be logged in as admin. To open outlook in Safe mode is "outlook.exe /safe" in the Run dialog, to open as User=Admin is right-click on the taskbar icon. But the two together? Anyone? Not even our tech support guy can help with this ...

Captcha: illum (how you make them be illin)
Admin
From the command line try:
Runas /user:[email protected] "outlook.exe /safe"
It should prompt for the password
Admin
Thx - I'll give it a go when I'm in the office again tomorrow.
Admin
use the /savecred option if you want to do this repeatedly, ie, in a batch. That'll store the authorization, so you don't have to enter it each time.
Admin
He was supposed to replace the compressor, because it was probably broken. You know, like the screen in the story right above, which also was probably broken. If only help desk would do their work and listen to customers diagnosis. They know their way with screens and ice machines alike.
Admin
How do you cope data to worksations?

Seriously . . . try "Those shortcuts preceded the existence of a Windows key."
I'd hazard a guess they've both existed since Win95. Definitely 98.
Admin
Indeed. It makes me wonder if the story is at all real. EVERY customer in this situation that I have ever heard of has ALWAYS blamed the tech, at least initially.
Its a bit like when you fix a friends PC for free, then every problem they have after that they consider to be 'caused by you'.
Admin
How did you know I store my cash and cookies in the Ice Machine?!?
Admin
I don't use the task manager any more. I use Process Explorer from sysinternals (before MS bought them), as it's a lot more useful. Just put it in your Startup folder and enjoy.

I am so sad and lonely. I wish I was dead.

And if you use Linux, ddrescue is designed exactly for this situation. It will take an image of your drive, getting the easy clusters and blocks first, then can optionally go back and try to get data closer and closer to the damaged sections. Then you mount the image it made, and safely see what files and such you can recover without needing to read the bad disk more than was needed.

First, do you see a switch at the back of the ice machine?
Admin
That was there since Windows 3.x. In fact that was the only mouse-way to close a window!
Once I connected to a work server from home to run a report I had forgotten to do when on site (this was back in the dark days of 9600bps modems and SCO Unix: 2002) but the hard-drive happened to die soon after. I was banned from doing that again. :-/
Admin
Please tell me it doesn't!
Perl regular expressions are evil enough, but adding that kind of evil to an enterprise product, and you open a rift in reality leading directly to the 66'th level of hell ;-)
PS: Postgresql has had regexp support since 8.3 I think.

I cant seem to reach your ice machine, could you please start the command prompt and type ifconfig ?
Admin
No I can't it's too dark, there's a power outage.
