Arlen,
Thanks for that list of file-sharing apps between the operating systems. Both where the first ones returned when I threw a few keywords from your request into google. (and yes, thats a hint) None of the apps even comes remotely close to solving the stated networking problem (since they all *copy* the file) Maybe you should tell us what you REALLY after, instead of asking us for suggestions and than rejecting them because they do not match something you have not yet told us ? And again, those links where a hinting suggestion. Throw some of your own energy into it, and google a bit. I'm sure there are many more programs which will allow you to communicate between multiple machines on a LAN running undefined OSes. Than again, you are looking for specific solutions, which are not always as easy to find ... if they even exist that is What might work though, is to set up a "local cloud", Well, seeing that you do not trust cloudy solutions, why whould you set up one yourself ? And why the F*ck would you go for something complex like that ? K.I.S.S. (look it up). In summary, neither list even remotedly came close to solving the problem, a) it was not ment as such. b) That can be, but the one at fault is you, as you have not yet specified what the problem actually is / what the requirements are a suggestion needs to live up to. Yes, I can make a few educated guesses but its your project, so its upto *you* formulate and post it. Besides, educated guesses ? That doesn't work all that well with someone who, like you, has very specific requirements. :-) Besides #2: I do not "do" iOS, Android or any of those other phone OSes, so I could not give any specific info for it even if I wanted to. But I have one last suggestion: Put a (portable) WAMP on one of your local windows machines, and learn some HTML, PHP and one of the SQL variants (SQLite comes to mind). That way you can send, from *any* machine with a webbrowser on the LAN, a request to the computer running that WAMP and have it do all the stuff and just return the answers. That way you do not have to trust *anyone*, and can keep-and-hold it all under your own control. Regards, Rudy Wieser |

It's the old "Why Don’t You -- Yes But..." game in Transactional Analysis. The goal is to get attention and keep it as long as possible by finding fault with all suggestions in order to get people to make yet more suggestions, which will also be rejected, until they finally give up in frustration. The goal is not to actually solve any problem. |

The very first item is "Unlimited Logins", available in both versions. Several years ago, Roboform free *was* limited to 10 logins, sort of as a trial, but they dumped that restriction quite some time ago. What fool, besides the moronic troll nospam, wants that? I don't know what you're trying to do. I'm just responding to keywords. |

I pin an Admin Command Prompt, since that's what I usually want to use. Once you do that, it's one click to launch the Command Prompt versus two clicks to hit Start and then Run.

Efficiency, you know. A "real" computerist, would have Cortana wired to "phone susan". And if TAPI still worked, you could do that from your desktop, without even reaching for anything. (Was that a "voice modem" ? Or a function of a WinModem ? Don't remember now.) I remember years ago, some people at work having TAPI like functions wired up that way. And they were doing hands-free and the whole bit. Well before it was a mainstream thing. Paul |

I can't speak for anybody else, but I never left, except for some time off for Independence Day parties, so I really can't arrive to "infest". Indeed, your silly self-stroking nonsense is more infestive than pretty much anything I see here that I haven't already kill-filed. Since the trolls above have taken over, I'm out of here.

Paul, I'm just an average user who simply asks for help from real computerists! http://tinyurl.com/alt-msdos-batch Hence, maybe a "real" computerist can figure out how to get an icon in this context menu, and to get the resulting window to show up red! http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_cmdwindow01.jpg Also, do you think a real computerist would be able to get that "Open command prompt here (admin)" context menu to work anywhere ... not just when folders are selected!

Nil,
It's the old "Why Don't You -- Yes But..." game in Transactional Analysis. .... The goal is not to actually solve any problem. Possibly, but I do not really want to make such an assumption. You see, it can be as easily be either what many projects (commercial or not) succumb to - because of the "I'm making stuff up as I go" client - and/or, likely in Arlens case, the "on a need to know basis" one, (he only tells you when he thinks you should know) thinking that that will protect his idea against being stolen. That either of those above waste massive ammounts of effort (at each change) on the side of the ones who try to understand (and create) what the end-result should be does not even cross their minds ... Logically, as its not *their* effort that gets wasted. :-( I also think that Arlen is most likely (still) a novice, with aspirations *way* outof his league. But than again, we all went thru that phase (for shorter or longer times). :-( Regards, Rudy Wieser |

Arlen,
Since the trolls above have taken over, I'm out of here. They can have the thread. The added value of the two commands is our contribution. Start Run phone susan Start Run vipw I'm sorry, AFAICS neither is finished in any way (you're still in the "how do I do it?" phase), nor have you posted any kind of end result. And you really have to tell me, who is that "we" and "our" you are using ? I don't think you are royalty, so that leaves it to be indicating a group. But when you post stuff I never see you include the names of the other group-members ... Regards, Rudy Wieser P.s. I hope you are aware that that "App Paths" registry trick only seems to work for the start - run entry box (it doesn't on the commandline). In short, its usability seems to be rather limited. :-( |

It's not either of these. Nil's description is spot on. His comment is based on - way too much - experience with 'Arlen'. It's of course fine that you want to make your own decision based on your own experience, but be careful not to - accidentily - alienate the good guys, by 'protecting' the bad guy and doubting the good guys.

But than again, we all went thru that phase (for shorter or longer times). :-( Well, 'Arlen' has already taken many years without *any* sign of improvement. As to his MO: He even lies about knowledge which we know he *does* have, just to prolong his threads, because - as Nil said, "The goal is not to actually solve any problem.". (FYI: Just recently I threw him some bait - one of his own solutions - and he bit, like I knew he would: He effectively ignored it and continued making his 'problem' worse, instead of better.) |

Frank,
Fair enough. You'll learn in time. Likely. Than again, I have a short memory for such things (always assuming that when times change so will people) and will probably stumble into the same situation a year from now (already got some Deja Vu feelings). Possibly even with the same person ... :-( :-) It's not either of these. Nil's description is spot on. His comment is based on - way too much - experience with 'Arlen'. Hmmm... How do you guys keep track of him ? He nym-shifts (among others) like there is no tomorrow ... but be careful not to - accidentily - alienate the good guys, by 'protecting' the bad guy and doubting the good guys. Yeah, that might be a problem. Although I have no wish to protect a bad guy, I also do not want to see an oblivious novice villified. Hence my (carefull?) probing and prodding in his direction. As someone told me once, "it takes just one pebble to create an avalanche". Well, 'Arlen' has already taken many years without *any* sign of improvement. And all that time he keeps running into people who, eventually, call him out, and he doesn't learn nothing from it ? Its possible I suppose, but I've got a hard time wrapping my head around it. But as you say, time will tell/teach me. And don't worry, although I'm rather willing to *help* someone to grow in what he wants to do, I have a *very* low wish to be used as a source of (nearly) full-blown solutions (I learned that lesson "door schade en schande" (dutch) quite a number of years ago).
