Windows 7 / Windows 2008 Administrative Shares Access

I had to search around for the answer for this. But in Windows 7 / Windows 2008, the administrative share access is taken away. I found out when trying to access certain computers using \\computername\c$ and no matter what credentials I provided nothing worked. The workaround is below.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947232

Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Type LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy to name the new entry, and then press ENTER.

Right-click LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy, and then click Modify.

In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.

Exit Registry Editor.

The LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy entry in the registry can have a value of 0 or 1. These values set the behavior of the entry as follows:

0 = build a filtered token
This is the default value. The administrator credentials are removed. These credentials are required for remote administration of the print drivers.

1 = build an elevated token
This value enables the remote administration of the print drivers on a server within a workgroup

Repair / Clean print spooler

Read this article to help fix a problem where the print spooler does not start or keeps stopping after each start.

It says for XP but I have tested this on Vista and it corrected the problem I had.

You can also use cleanspl.exe from Windows 2003 Resource Kit but this does not work for Vista.

What happens when you run "Repair" on a network connection.

1. Attempt to renew DHCP Lease
2. Flushes ARP cache (arp -d *)
3. Flushes NetBIOS cache (nbtstat -R)
4. Flushes DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns)
5. Re-Register NetBIOS name and IP address with WINS (nbtstat -RR)
6. Re-Register computer name and IP address with DNS (ipconfig /registerdns)

Absolute positioning in a CSS container

Now this was a real pain to figure out as there wasn't much documentation on it. In order to successfully utilize absolute positioning inside a CSS container where the position will be relative to the container and not the window you will need to define the following:

#container {
position: relative
}

This will ensure that any object placed within this container will be positioned relative to it.

<div id="container">
...
...
...
</div>
