Printers that use ports that do not begin with COM, LPT, or USB are not redirected in a remote desktop or a terminal services session

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

To fix this problem on a computer that is not running Windows Server 2003 as a Terminal Server, force all ports (including DOT4) on the client computer to be filtered for redirection. To do this, add a DWORD value named FilterQueueType to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default\AddIns\RDPDR and set its value data to FFFFFFFF.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default\AddIns\RDPDR
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type FilterQueueType, and then press ENTER.
5. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
6. Type FFFFFFFF, and then click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
8. Restart your computer.

This enables all ports on the client to be redirected.

To work around this problem on a client computer that has a multifunction print device, change the port that the multifunction print device uses from DOT4 to an LPT port.

For example, to configure a multifunction print device to use an LPT port on a Windows XP-based computer, follow these steps:

1. InControl Panel, openPrinters and Faxes.
2. Right-click the local printer that is not redirected, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Ports tab, click an LPT port, and then click Apply.
   
   The printer should now appear next to that port.
4. Close the Printer Properties window, and then reconnect by using Remote Desktop.

Important When a multifunction printer is using a standard LPT port instead of the DOT4 port, it loses its multifunction capabilities, such as scanning, faxing, or copying. To regain the multifunction capabilities, the print device must use the DOT4 port.

How to prevent Backup Exec from failing a backup operation when encountering corrupt files

How to prevent Backup Exec from failing a backup operation when encountering corrupt files (excluding Microsoft Exchange files)

---

Exact Error Message
WARNING: "" is a corrupt file.
This file cannot verify.

Details:

When Backup Exec (tm) encounters a corrupt file, the job will fail by default. The detail message in the Backup Exec job log is following:

Exact Error Message

The backup of the item is bad

Warning: %Email message% is a corrupt file. The file cannot verify

Unable to backup the attachment data associated with one or more messages. Some messages and their attachments may have been deleted while the backup was already in progress.

Details:

Final Error Code: a000fe2d HEX (0xa000fe2d HEX) or e000fe2d HEX (0xe000fe2d HEX)

Final Error Description: "The backup of the item is bad"

Final Error Category: Resource Errors

Error Text In Job Log: "Warning: %Email message% is a corrupt file. The file cannot verify" or "Unable to backup the attachment data associated with one or more messages. Some messages and their attachments may have been deleted while the backup was already in progress."

By adding or modifying the registry key mentioned below, Backup Exec can be configured not to fail the job when a corrupt file is encountered. Please note, this solution is not intended for use with Microsoft Exchange files such as .EDB, .STM and .LOG files. Corrupt Microsoft Exchange files may be indicative of another problem with the Exchange store.

Warning: Use of this registry key will result in the successful status of job operations that otherwise would have qualified as being failed operations. Ordinarily, successful job status indicates that 100% of the targeted data has been protected and recorded to media. After this registry key has been enabled, a successful job status will indicate a primarily successful backup operation with exceptions. When this key has been enabled, Symantec recommends that an inspection of job log files is performed to make note of any possible exceptions that may have occurred during a backup operation.


I. Creating the Registry key:

1. Run REGEDT32.EXE

Working recycle bin in windows 7 task bar

Place a Fully Functional Recycle Bin on your Windows 7 Taskbar

By Matthew DeCarlo on September 15, 2009 Editor: Jose Vilches Write / Read user's feedback Find hardware & software prices Bookmark / Share This

I'm not exactly sure when it became cool to abandon the use of your operating system's desktop, but a growing number of people these days prefer the "clean" look. Recent releases of Microsoft Windows seem to encourage this. By default, Windows Vista and 7 strip the desktop of all icons but the Recycle Bin.

Try as you may, ignoring this lone icon is impossible. Sure, you can hide it in just a few seconds, but at the cost of losing quick access to deleted files. You could also drag the Recycle Bin icon to the taskbar, but then it will appear pinned under Windows Explorer -- requiring an extra click to open and offering half the functionality.

In this tip, we will show you one method of bringing a fully functional Recycle Bin to your Windows 7 Taskbar, so you can clear off your desktop

once and for all with little to no compromise.

To get started, we'll have to bring out the Quick Launch bar. Rest assured, it will not replace the new Windows 7 Superbar -- in fact you won't even know Quick Launch is there. Right click on the Windows 7 Taskbar, hover over Toolbars and click New toolbar.

When prompted to provide a folder directory, enter the following string of text: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

After doing so, a labeled Quick Launch bar should appear near the clock. Odds are it will have several icons onboard, but since we won't be using this bar for anything apart from hosting the Recycle Bin I would just delete all of the shortcuts.

Right click on the Taskbar and uncheck Lock the taskbar if it isn't already. Now, right click on your Quick Launch bar and uncheck Show text, as well as Show title. Finally, right click and hover on View to select the size that your Recycle Bin icon will be -- I chose large to match my Superbar icons.

With the Quick Launch bar configured, all you have to do is drag and drop the Recycle Bin onto it. Feel free to grab the dotted lines and drag the Quick Launch bar to your preferred location. I would recommend either pulling it all the way to the left near the Start menu, or all the way right near the clock.

When you are satisfied with the position of your Quick Launch bar, relock the Taskbar and hide the Recycle Bin on your desktop by right-clicking an empty space and selecting Personalize, then clicking Change desktop icons in the left column of the Personalization window and un-checking the appropriate box.

Did you know?
Apple sued to prevent other software companies from offering graphical user interfaces similar to its own. The company lost most of its claims but courts agreed Apple's Trash icon was original and protected by copyright. Non-Apple software must use other metaphors for file deletion, such as Recycle Bin, Smart Eraser, or Shredder.
