I wouldn't have thought a buildup of dust, (and heat), is the problem as the system is in Sleep state when the original fault happens and thus using minimal power. If anything, it would happen more often when the machine was in normal running mode.-4wd (November 23, 2013, 05:40 PM)

Programs in Program Files folder can't even create files in their own folder without being run as Admin. Really annoying.-MilesAhead (November 23, 2013, 10:17 AM)
...I've been using Xteq's X-Find for years to do this kind of thing, but it hasn't been updated for years. So I've been toying with looking for an alternative application (hence my interest here), but it has to be something I can use in a quick-N-dirty fashion when dealing with client networks that may or may not have access to the fancy hat account for a variety of reasons.Using a clean/new paint brush and your lungs is very safe for cleaning.-Shades (November 23, 2013, 11:34 AM)
In the meantime I also got one of Windows' error reporting boxes popping up, saying it needs to dial home to check for solutions to 13 problems, 12 of which was a video hardware error, and the 13th was "Shut down unexpectedly." Connection failed, so I never found out if there were solutions to any of those.-dr_andus (November 22, 2013, 06:44 PM)
Occasionally the converter does fail, when the PC wakes up from sleep, in which case I unplug it and replug it, and that usually sorts it out. However, that has been recurring for some time, while this rebooting problem has only started happening more frequently the last couple of days.-dr_andus (November 22, 2013, 06:44 PM)
If that's the case, I think I'd be unplugging the adapter for the next few days and see how the system goes without it.
EDIT: It could be that a recent update has interacted badly with the adapter drivers, so it might pay to uninstall them also or look to see if there is a driver update.-4wd (November 22, 2013, 07:07 PM)
Right now my PC is set to go to sleep after 15 min. and it's also put to sleep every night. I've been doing this for years with this PC and I haven't had any problems.-dr_andus (November 22, 2013, 11:38 AM)
So for clarity:
Is the machine rebooting when you try to wake it up, or are you noticing that it has rebooted - presumable sometime in the night - after you wake it up, get to the desktop, and see that the thing that were left running aren't anymore?-Stoic Joker (November 22, 2013, 11:24 AM)
Both has happened in the past 24 hrs.-dr_andus (November 22, 2013, 11:38 AM)
I hope that most Windows users do have admin rights.-Cashper (November 22, 2013, 07:56 AM)
As for non-admin users, technically it is possible to bypass UAC, for example, by installing a service (permissions are needed only on install in this case).
But it will not take into account file permissions and will search through all files.-Cashper (November 22, 2013, 07:56 AM)
It needs an access to MFT and NTFS change journal in order to read and maintain list of all files.-Cashper (November 22, 2013, 07:23 AM)
Years ago, I used to do it like you. I imported everything manually into a standalone addressbook (I probably have several threads about it here) and then would periodically update it and export it to my phones and Outlook.-superboyac (November 21, 2013, 04:12 PM)
And while those in power can easily tailor their own historical "truth" as needed, the people beneath them are stringently held hostage by emaculate records of their every waking hour to be sure that at all points they both can and will be held accountable for the merest of miss-steps.What, "every waking hour" from from birth to death?-Stoic Joker (November 20, 2013, 12:08 PM)
Would that include things such as, for example (say) birth certificates, citizenship records, religio-political affiliations and scholastic records?
Just wondering.-IainB (November 20, 2013, 03:37 PM)
Between the NSA, FaceBook, Google Glass, the new HIPAA laws, and the DMV ... I'm going to go with yes on that.-Stoic Joker (November 20, 2013, 05:01 PM)
You left out pecker measurement. They got that too I'm sure.-40hz (November 21, 2013, 03:54 PM)
Stoic Joker knows lclock very well, so i'm sad to see that the calendar part wasn't straigt up copy pasted from that! The look and functionality were so to the point, it was amazing. You left click the clock, the nice calendar comes up, double click any date and you get to set an alarm!-iorgu (November 21, 2013, 11:12 AM)
As you can see from the screenshot above, there are 3 subfolders...-superboyac (November 21, 2013, 10:52 AM)
The only one that gets synced is the subfolder "Contacts". From Microsoft's FAQ:Can I synchronize multiple calendar or contacts folders?
You can only synchronize your default calendar folder, contact folder, and tasks folder.
The problem is that those other folder like facebook and linkedin have additional information that is merged with contacts in the "Contacts" folder. on the website, everything works beautifully, pictures,merged stuff, etc. but on the phone, only the info from contacts shows up. So this is not working any better than any other solution.-superboyac (November 21, 2013, 10:52 AM)

No wonder our politicos see the world as just one more manifestation of the virtual reality they apparently dwell in. With no fixed record of the past, the present and future are perpetually up for grabs and subject to change without notice.-40hz (November 20, 2013, 11:01 AM)
