Zusammenfassung
Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Benutzung des pushd Befehls um effizienter auf UNC Pfade zu wechseln.
Beschreibung
Der cd Befehl kann nicht in Verzeichniss wechseln, die auf Netzwerklaufwerken liegen. Eine Lösung besteht darin, zunächst mit
net use z: \\server\share
z:
cd path
den Netzwerkpfad auf ein lokales Laufwerk zu mappen, und dann auf eben dieses Laufwerk wechseln.
Jedoch muss man hier drei Befehle eintippen, was bei häufiger Nutzung recht aufwändig ist.
Lösung
Der Befehl pushd kann verwendet werden, um die obigen Befehle zusammen zu fassen:
pushd \\server\share\path
Es wird ein Laufwerksmapping durchgeführt, und das aktuelle Verzeichnis wird gewechselt. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieses Befehls liegt darin, das ein
wieder in das Verzeichnis wechselt, das aktiv war, als der pushd Befehl aufgerufen wurde.
Weitere Informationen
Die obigen drei Befehle können in zwei Befehle zusammen gefasst werden. Dies wird hier sehr gut beschrieben.

Summary
This article describes how Outlook XP can be configured, so that it no longer blocks access to attachments certain file types such as .exe.
Description
Since Outlook 200 SP 2, outlook blocks access to attachment of certain file type such as executables or scripts.
There are two types of blocks: The level one files are completely blocked, so that no access is possible, albeit they are not deleted by Outlook. The level 2 files are blocked in that way, that the user can not open them directly. They must be saved to disk before an access is possible.
Outlook XP can now be configured so that level one filetypes can be transformed to level two files..
SOLUTION
To change the behavior of Outlook, the following steps are necessary:
-
Open the registry editor.
-
If you are using Outlook XP, navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security.Under Outlook 2003, navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security.
-
Create a new value of type String named Level1Remove.
-
Open the value and enter a semicolon separated list. For example:
After Outlook has been restarted, the access to the attachments is no longer blocked.
Status
This behavior is by design.

SUMMARY
This article explains, how to enable the visibility of disconnected devices in the Device Manager.
DESCRIPTION
The Device Manager normally only show connected devices, and even if the option "Show hidden devices" is checked, not all installed hardware is listed within the tree.
This is a major drawback in cases when you want to uninstall several devices (e.g. modems or other plug-and-play devices) when they are not currently connected to the computer. Normally you would start the "Add/Remove Hardware" wizard for each device you want to unintall. However, there is a smarter solution to do this, as explained below.
SOLUTION
To show all installed devices, follow these steps:
-
Open a command prompt
-
Enter the following:
SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
cd %systemroot%\system32
start compmgmt.msc
-
Select the Device Manager node and turn on the "Show Hidden Devices" feature by clicking the appropiate entry in the View menu.
The Device Manager will now list all devices that are installed on the machine.

Summary
This articles explains how to change the MAC address of a network adapter.
More information
The MAC address uniquely identifies the network card within the current network segment. It consists of a vendor id that is unique among all network vendors, and a relative id that is unique to the vendor.
The address is hard-coded onto the network adapter. But since most of the drivers were deleveloped with the Windows Driver Development kit, the MAC adress is read from the Windows registry, when the card is initialized.
Steps
-
Note the description and current MAC address of the card you want to modify. To do this, open a command prompt and type the following:
-
The description of the card is in the field "Description", whereas the MAC address can be found at the field "Physical address".
-
Start the registry editor (regedt32 under Windows 2000, regedit under Windows XP and Windows 2003) and open the node
HKEY_LOCAL_MASHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.
When you expand this node, you will find several subnodes, each representing one of your network adapters.
-
Find the node which contains the field "Description" in the right pane that matches the description of the network adapter you want to change.
-
On the node with the network adapter to change, check whether there is an entry named "NetworkAddress" (without the quotation marks, of course). If there is such an entry, check if the entry type is "REG_SZ". If not, delete the entry and recreate it with the appropriate type. If the entry does not yet exist, create one.
-
Double click the entry "NetworkAddress" and enter the new network address. Note that the new network address should have exactly twelve digits.
-
Once you entered the new network address, the network adapter has to be restarted. To do this, open the control panel and then "Network and Dialup connections". Right click the network connection you have just modified, and then click disable. After the device has been disabled, right-click the connection again and click Enable.
-
Open a command prompt, and type
to check, whether the new MAC address has been changed.
If the displayed physical address is still the same, your network card is probably incapable of changing this setting.

More Information
The daemon tools are by default set up to start a small program that is accessed via the system tray, near the clock. With a right-click on the program icon, one can easily mount and unmount images, or change the number of virtual drives on the fly.
However, one often comes accross an image with an explorer window. To mount such an icon, the user must do the following:
Right-click on the daemon-tools tray icon
Navigate to the virtual drive, where the image should be mounted
Choose Mount image.
In the Open file dialog, navigate to the folder
Click Ok.
Luckily, the daemon tools have a rich set of command line parameters, so most of the above steps can be eliminated.
Solution
To allow the mounting of images via the context menu, the image files must be associated with the daemon tools. To do this apply the following registry information to your computer:
1 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
2 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File]
3 @="CD/DVD Image"
4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell]
5 @="open"
6 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\mount1]
7 @="Mount Image on Second Virtual Drive"
8 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\mount1\command]
9 @="\"C:\\Program Files\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe\" -mount 1,\"%l\""
10 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\open]
11 @="Mount Image on First Virtual Drive"
12 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\open\command]
13 @="\"C:\\Program Files\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe\" -mount 0,\"%l\""
14 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.iso]
15 @="DaemonTools.File"
16 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.nrg]
17 @="DaemonTools.File"
18 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bin]
19 @="DaemonTools.File"
20 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cue]
21 @="DaemonTools.File"
22 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bwt]
23 @="DaemonTools.File"
24 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cdi]
25 @="DaemonTools.File"
26 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ccd]
27 @="DaemonTools.File"
28 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mds]
29 @="DaemonTools.File"
30 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdi]
31 @="DaemonTools.File"
The above registry file is designed for two virtual drives. If you have more or less drives, you'll have to modify this area of the file:
1 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\mount1]
2 @="Mount Image on Second Virtual Drive"
3 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\mount1\command]
4 @="\"C:\\Program Files\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe\" -mount 1,\"%l\""
5 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\open]
6 @="Mount Image on First Virtual Drive"
7 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\open\command]
8 @="\"C:\\Program Files\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe\" -mount 0,\"%l\""
9 For a third drive, simply add the following lines:
10 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\mount2]
11 @="Mount Image on Third Virtual Drive"
12 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DaemonTools.File\shell\mount2\command]
13 @="\"C:\\Program Files\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe\" -mount 2,\"%l\""
Note that you must replace the path to the Daemon tools folder.
