I installed KB3161608 but the problem is still there. One solution to [url=/]netsvcs[/url] high cpu usage can be to stop updates.-Imran Shahid (January 10, 2017, 08:47 AM)
what's with the link -- it looks good if you scroll down, but first suggestion is some sort of registry repair programme?
Why dont you mention contents of link? Did you try any of the suggestions there?-tomos (January 10, 2017, 10:34 AM)
The administrative shares that have been part of Windows for a long time have been a staple for remote file management for IT pros.s/pros/skiddies.
Sure, they're useful for legit admin actions, but they're one of the first things I disable after I install Windows-f0dder (June 15, 2017, 03:49 AM)
Using Windows 10 Administrative Shares
By Adam BertramMARCH 29, 2016 1:00 PM
In Windows 10, administrative shares work the same in domain environments. But when dealing with Windows 10 systems in a workgroup you'll have to use a workaround to get access to administrative Windows 10 shares—here's how.
The administrative shares that have been part of Windows for a long time have been a staple for remote file management for IT pros. Administrative file shares are the hidden shares on a Windows computer with a name that ends with a dollar sign. By default, these shares share out the contents of every drive on a system and also include shares like admin$ and IPC$ to perform various administrative functions. In Windows 10, these administrative shares still exist but require an extra step in order to work properly. Let's go over how to setup these administrative shares in Windows 10.

First, in domain environments, the administrative Windows 10 shares work as they always have. You simply provide a domain user account with permission to connect to the remote machine and it works. However, an issue arises when you have two Windows 10 computers in a workgroup. While in a workgroup, when you attempt to connect to an administrative share on a Windows 10 computer you will be prompted for a username and password as expected but you will receive a misleading Access Denied error message.
This is related to User Account Control (UAC) and requires a registry modification in order to work properly. By default, UAC remotely restricts these shares from being accessed. In order to successfully connect to an administrative share, you'll need to disable this feature. To do this, you'll need to create (or modify) a registry DWORD value called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and set it to a value of 1.
To do this, either log onto the console of the remote machine locally, via remote desktop or some other remote console application. Then, type in regedit in the search bar, which will bring up the registry editor.
Once in the registry editor, drill down to the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. Then, right click on the System, click on New and then choose DWORD (32-bit) Value.
From here, you are given the option to name the new registry value. Give it a name of exactly LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and hit Enter.
Once you've created the registry key, it will have a value of 0; this needs to be a 1. To change it to a 1, double click on the registry value and put a 1 in for Value data.
This will create the registry value and should be all you need to connect to the administrative share successfully. This method should open up all administrative shares which consist of the C$, any additional drive shares, admin$ and IPC$.
When this step is complete, attempt to connect to an administrative share again. You should again be prompted for a username and password. Once given the appropriate credentials, you should now be presented with a file system listing of everything in the location that the share represents.
Thanks for the tip @wraith808. I remember another on mouser gave for display of all mesgs in one long page, I forgot.-anandcoral (June 13, 2017, 01:57 AM)
How would you rewrite that snippet in your current language?O_o?

One of my best classes in college was a class called The Organization of Programming Languages. It was taught by someone who was giving back time as a professional in the industry, rather than a professor. Many years later, it is one of the only ones that sticks in my mind and that I use. I've gone from and to many different languages - Pascal to VB to C to C++ to Delphi to C# (and I currently dabble in a few others). The syntax has never been the problem. You can always find syntax. It's the data structures and memory management and such that are always the sticking point. If you can get those, you can rapidly move from one language to another with a minimum of difficulty.-wraith808 (March 03, 2015, 07:19 PM)

I have a hard time doing that with a book. Currently, I'm reading the Magicians by Lev Grossman, and the TV show is actually better IMO... the book is rather a slog. But I'm still trying.-wraith808 (June 06, 2017, 02:53 PM)
I have 900+ books on the list so if I don't like a partiicular book, I just stop reading it and start reading another one. I mean, why bother?-panzer (June 07, 2017, 04:03 AM)
You might want to ask about this on the MBAM forum. Someone there may be able to shed some light on this.-cyberdiva (June 06, 2017, 06:52 PM)

Taking a break from some of the books I'm plodding through on my Kindle (Columbine by Dave Cullen, Steve Jobs by
Walter Isaacson), A book I'm currently reading is:
Persuader by Lee Child (A Jack Reacher novel)
I haven't seen any of the Tom Cruise movies, but the description of Jack Reacher has him at six foot five or so - and I keep on thinking how muchbiggertaller and tougher the guy in the novel is in comparison to the actor.-exjoburger (June 06, 2017, 01:05 PM)
I feel the same way about Daniel Craig in the Bond films. At least Sean Connery was a physical match for the character. Roger Moore was probably too much of a sophisticate. But even so he had some size to him. You could believe he would win a lot of the fights. Craig needs to carry a machine pistol to a fist fight to stand a chance.-MilesAhead (June 06, 2017, 01:29 PM)

Password hygiene has nothing to do with "customer serving the service", but you're right that there's a balance - that balance is between how much effort you put into securing credentials for Site X vs. how much it would hurt if that set of credentials are breached.-f0dder (June 06, 2017, 10:21 AM)
I disagree. By insisting on funky characters that make you shift mode on touch keyboards they can always say you made a typo when entering. Even if they are the ones who changed what you typed. It amounts to asking the service provider for permission to use your own account. Just like you have to ask the bank for permission to access your own money. It is kind of like the rulers calling themselves "public servants." Talk about cynicism. Oh yeah, billionaires just shell out millions of their own $$ to "serve" others. Right!-MilesAhead (June 06, 2017, 11:39 AM)
Hm, that's a rather disappointing response-Ath (June 05, 2017, 10:53 AM)
The thing that makes me shudder is that online password managers are such a juicy target. In just the past few days one succumbed to an attack and was plundered.
