Vista start-up & networking w/ XP
I have two questions if someone can assist or at least direct me where to
find some answers. Where is the "correct place" to store start-up scripts in Vista and Windows 7? Traditionally in Windows XP this is done using local policy editor and setting the startup/shutdown scripts. Because I have Vista Home Premium, this feature is disabled. I know this is probably stored some where in the registry, but I am not sure where this is. The second question has to do with networking. I have two machines one running Vista Home Premium and the second is a Windows XP machine. I have setup shared network drives on both machines (they are networked using workgroups ). The share are never a problem when seen from the XP host, but on the Vista machines sometimes they seem to disappear and the connections are not reestablished at startup. I have seen suggestions that I create a startup script to disconnect and reconnect the shares at startup. That is fine but, I would love to find out why they disappear in the first place. Any thoughts suggestions. Thank you. |
