Recently, I switched from a German QWERTZ to a UK Extended QWERTY keyboard layout - for easier access to characters for programming.

There are two locations where you can define the button's location: dconf and gconf.

In Outlook 2016, you can't setup an account from an Exchange 2007 server without having autodiscover setup correctly. The Manual Setup only offers "Exchange ActiveSync" which doesn't work with the 2007 Exchange. (The working method is named "Microsoft Exchange".)

On a Windows 7 64bit, I was not able to capture any DV video from a video camera connected via Firewire IEEE1394. I was able to control the camera from the capture program (tried NeroVision and magix Video Deluxe) but only got a black screen and no audio.

If you installed Windows XP after Windows 7, you're left with the XP-MBR on your drive and thus only XP is booting.

To get access to a Windows PC as an Administrator user, there is a very brute security hole which you can use. The only thing is: You need physical access to the machine.

If you can't aquire any video from a DV camera connected via Firewire/IEEE1394, check if you have these symptoms:

The loader for a convenient wubi-installation of Ubuntu, can be easily re-added to the Windows Vista/Windows 7 bootloader.

For the SanDisk cruzer Titanium U3, there is a sync-software called CruzerSync which really is an OEM version of DMailer.

If you have a router and Internet works with any application/site but you can't connect to any microsoft.com site (e.g. WindowsUpdate, Windows Live Messenger [error code: 81000306], etc.) you might have your MTU set to a too high value. The default MTU for ethernet devices is 1500 but since the PPPoE header adds 8 Bytes to the packets, they get fragmented. And the microsoft.com servers seem to not accept fragmented packets.

If you are missing the Wireless Zero Configuration (in German: Konfigurationsfreie drahtlose Verbindung), you might have installed a D-Link driver.

Microsoft distributes the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification Tool (KB905474) through the WindowsUpdate mechanism. This tool should detect fake Windows serial numbers and nag the user. Interestingly, Microsoft hid a small paragraph in their EULA after that the tool sends daily(!!) reports to Microsoft. According to MS this "is neccessary" since the tool is BETA and MS needs to be able to react if it goes crazy. Yeah … sure!

At My Digital Life you can read about Belarc Advisor spreading Windows license keys. Advisor is a system profiler which also includes the Windows key in its reports. Users posting them to the Internet also publish their Windows key. A common string of Advisor reports is "Belarc Advisor Current Profile". Together with the desired Windows version you can easily find license keys:

Windows XP Professional only allows 10 simultaneous connections to shares and printer spoolers. The eleventh user gets a System error #71 message. The unused connections get freed after 30 minutes which is a bit late since often you just need a few files or to print some pages but this blocks the connection for 30 minutes.

If Windows uses PIO mode instead of DMA, it probably have slowed down due to reading errors. To fix the slow-down, find the registry key:

To show a 'Details' tab in device's properties, add the system environment variable DevMgr_Show_Details and set it to "1".

SrvAny.exe doesn't recognize when the launched application exits. Windows still thinks that the service (SrvAny.exe) is running and so error handling (restart app, restart windows, etc.) doesn't occur.

Check registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList for needed profile.

To enable ANSI control codes in command.com, add the following line to %SystemRoot%\system32\CONFIG.NT:
