right hand side of a window.

Go to properties and hit disable. Now next time Windows puts a temp file in
that folder it will automatically delete it when its done! Note from Forum Admin: Remember, GPEDIT (Group Policy Editor) is only available in XP Pro.

>>Locking Folders:
  • Consider you want to lock a folder named XXXX in your E:\, whose path is E:\XXXX.
  • Now open the Notepad and type the following
[code]ren xxxx xxxx.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}[/code]
  • Where xxxx is your folder name. Save the text file asloc.bat in the same drive.
  • Open another new notepad text file and type the following
[code]ren xxxx.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} xxxx[/code]
  • Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive.
Steps to lock the folder:
  • To lock the xxxx folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible.
  • To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible.
>>Locking Drives:
We don’t usually prefer to lock our drives, but sometimes it becomes nesscary. Say for instance you might have stored your office documents in D:\ and you don’t want your kids to access it, in such case this technique can be useful for you. Please don’t try this tweak with your root drive (usually C:\ is the root drive) since root drives are not intended to be locked because they are mandatory for the system and application programs.
  • Start & Run and type Regedit to open Registry editor
  • BrowseHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
  • Create a new DWORD value NoViewOnDrive and set its value as
2^ (Alpha Number of Drive Letter-1) where Alpha number are simple counting of alphabets from A to Z as 1 - 26
For example: to lock C:\, Alpha number of C is 3 so 2^ (3-1) = 4 (decimal value)
  • To lock more drives, calculate the value of each drive and then set sum of those numbers as value
  • To unlock your drive just delete the key from the registry.
>>To Remove Recyle Bin From Your Desktop
Open Regedit by going to START - RUN and type Regedit and hit enter. Then you should navigate to following entry in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and delete it. This action should remove recycle bin from your desktop.
>>Disable the Security Center warnings

First click on Start button then type Regedit in Run option.
Here locate the location to:
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center
Here in right side panel, double click on Anti Virus Disable Notify and set its value 1.
Now close the registry editor and restart your computer after any changes to go into effect.


>>HIDE DRIVES

How to Move user Mailbox in exchange 2007


How to Move user Mailbox in exchange 2007

Moving Mailboxes via the Exchange Management Console
Run the Exchange Management Console and in the console tree, navigate to the Recipient Configuration node and expand it.
Under the Recipient Configuration node, select Mailbox.
In the result pane you’ll now see a list of mailboxes within your Exchange organization. If this is the first time you are migrating user mailboxes, they will obviously still be located on Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 servers and thus will appear as a Legacy Mailbox as identified in the Recipient Type Details column. Mailboxes that have already been moved to Exchange 2007 servers will appear as a User Mailbox. The different types of mailboxes are shown in Figure 1 below where you can see that User3 is a mailbox still located on Exchange 2003.

Figure 1: Mailboxes Displayed in Exchange Management Console
To move a mailbox, simply highlight the relevant mailbox, right-click it and choose Move Mailbox… from the context menu. Note that you can select multiple mailboxes at the same time. Choosing the Move Mailbox… option invokes the Move Mailbox wizard, the first screen of which is the Introduction screen as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Move Mailbox Wizard Introduction Screen

On the Introduction screen, select the target Exchange 2007 server, storage group and database that will house the mailbox that will be moved. When this is set correctly, click the Next button.
Next, the Move Options screen is presented, shown in Figure 3. This allows you to control what happens if the move mailbox process encounters corrupt messages. Here you have a choice of skipping the mailbox and therefore not moving it, or skipping a number of corrupted messages. You can inform the move mailbox process how many corrupt messages you’ll tolerate skipping. In Exchange 2003, the maximum number of corrupt items you could specify was 100, but within the move mailbox wizard now, you can enter up to 2^31-1, or 2,147,483,647. If you ask me, 100 is more than enough since if you are seeing mailboxes with many corrupted items, you probably have a bigger problem on your hands. Once you’re happy with your choice, click Next.

Figure 3: Move Mailbox Wizard Move Options Screen
Next up is the Move Schedule screen, as shown in Figure 4. This allows you to begin the mailbox move immediately, or later at a scheduled time. This is invaluable during migrations, as it is likely you’ll want to move the mailboxes out of hours, perhaps in an unattended fashion. If you choose the At the following time option, the date and time is set to the current time, so you’ll have to choose your custom time when you want the move process to start. Also note the Cancel tasks that are still running after (hours) option, which allows you to specify how long the process will run before being cancelled. Again, this is particularly useful when moving large numbers of mailboxes overnight. For example, Figure 4 shows that mailbox moves will be cancelled after 8 hours, meaning that if they are started at 21:00, mailbox moves will stop at 5am, thus ensuring that any users that may arrive early for work are not affected. If a mailbox is in the middle of being moved at 5am in this case, this mailbox is moved back to the source server; all previously migrated mailboxes remain on the target server. Again, once you’re happy with your selections, click Next.

Figure 4: Move Mailbox Wizard Move Schedule Screen
The penultimate screen to be displayed is simply a summary screen for the move operation that will be performed, giving you a chance to review the details of the move. Once you’re happy, clicking the Movebutton commences the mailbox move process. If you’ve elected to move the mailboxes at a scheduled time, the summary screen will then give you a countdown process as you can see in Figure 5. You can cancel the move process at any time by clicking the Cancel button.

Figure 5: Move Mailbox Wizard Scheduled Countdown
If you do choose to move multiple mailboxes at the same time, you’ll see a screen similar to the one shown in Figure 6 since the move mailbox wizard is multi-threaded. You can see that 4 mailboxes are being moved at the same time, with the 5th mailbox, User9’s mailbox, shown at the bottom with a state of Pending. Within the Exchange Management Console, it’s not possible to move more than 4 mailboxes at a time, although it is possible to change the number of threads when using the Exchange Management Shell, which we’ll look at in part two of this article.

Figure 6: Multiple Mailbox Moves
If all has gone well, the final screen to be displayed will be a completion screen similar to the one shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7: Successful Mailbox Move
The Exchange Management Console cannot be used to move mailboxes across forests. To do this, you will need to use the Exchange Management Shell but as I said earlier we’ll only be looking at intra-organization moves in this article.
Exchange performs plenty of checks to make sure that the move mailbox process will be successful. For example, if you try to move a mailbox to an Exchange 2007 database that has a lower mailbox size limit than the actual size of the mailbox being moved you will see the error shown in Figure 8. As an example of another error check performed, you will see in Figure 9 that I managed to create a duplicate mailbox during some testing, resulting in the duplicate mailbox being deleted prior to another attempt to move the mailbox.


Figure 8: Mailbox Size Checking

Figure 9: Duplicate Mailbox Error
Diagnostics Logging
What do you see in the event viewer when the mailbox move process has been performed? Well, in my testing the same events are logged no matter whether the diagnostics logging is set to a low or high level. In the three event log entries below, you will see that all three have a source of Exchange Migration and a category of Move Mailbox. The first event to be logged is event 1006 as seen in Figure 10, where you can see that the process is getting underway. The source and destination databases are revealed as well as the Exchange DN attribute of the mailbox being moved which is out of view within the description area of the event.

Figure 10: Event 1006
Once the mailbox has been moved, event 1007 is logged as you can see from Figure 11. This is nice and self-explanatory.

Figure 11: Event 1007
Finally, event 9354 is logged which informs you that the original mailbox has been deleted from the source database. This is shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12: Event 9354
Also, one other event log entry worth pointing out is something that was first introduced in Exchange 2003. It is generally considered a best practice to ensure that users are logged out of their mailbox when you move it. If the user tries to access their mailbox whilst it’s in the process of being moved, event 9660 is logged with a source ofMSExchangeIS and a category of Logons. A sample of this event is shown in Figure 13.

Create New Mailbox in Exchange 7


Creating a mailbox using the Exchange Management Console
*      Open Exchange Management Console
*      Expand Recipient Configuration
*      Click on Mailbox
In the Mailbox pane, click on New Mailbox... (Figure 01)

Figure 01: Creating a new user in the Exchange Management Console
Introduction. We have to choose what kind of object we are creating, in Exchange Server 2007 we have four different mailbox types:

User mailbox: This is a traditional mailbox.

- Resource mailbox: This is a mailbox specifically assigned to Meeting Rooms. Its associated user account will be disabled in Active Directory.

- Equipment mailbox: This is a mailbox specific to resources, (i.e. TV, Projector and so on). As with a Resource mailbox, this kind of mailbox will disable a user in Active Directory.

- Linked Mailbox: This kind of mailbox will be used in environments with multiple forests. This specific feature will be explained in a later article on MSExchange.org.

In the Introduction window, select the appropriate mailbox type and then click Next to continue. (Figure 02).

Figure 02: Choosing what kind of mailbox will be created
User Type. In the User Type window, we can choose either to create a new user or to assign an existing user to the new mailbox. If we choose to assign it to an existing user, we will have to check if the account does not already have a mailbox associated with it. Click Next to continue (Figure 03).

Figure 03: Creating a new user for a new mailbox
User Information. In the User Information window, we should fill out the personal information of the user and select the Organization Unit where it will be created. After that click on Next (Figure 04).

Figure 04: Filling out the personal user data and OU localization
Mailbox Settings. On the Mailbox Settings page, we can define the mailbox information such as Alias, Mailbox Server, and Mailbox Store where the new mailbox will be located. The policies for Mailbox and ActiveSync can also be defined in this step. We can choose which fields we are going to fill out and then click Next to continue. (Figure 05).

Figure 05: Choosing Server, Storage Group, Mailbox database and policies during the mailbox creation process
New Mailbox. In the New Mailbox window, we will get a summary of all the information that we selected in the previous steps. These parameters will be used by the PowerShell engine for the creation of this mailbox object. To create the mailbox, click on New (Figure 06).

Figure 06: The parameters that will be used in the creation of the new mailbox
Completion. In the Completion window, we will see the cmdlet New-mailbox and the parameters that we used in the creation process of this new mailbox.

Figure 07: The final screen of the New Mailbox Wizard, showing us the cmdlet used in the creation of the mailbox
