Microsoft Windows tips and tricks
| Sometimes using User level share access control, by attempt to receive user list from server, the answer is: "List cannot be obtained yet, please try later" |

Analysing the system I found, that MAPI32.DLL is significantly smaller than on computer, where all was working fine. Real MAPI32.DLL was renamed to MAPI32BAK.DLL. It is one of the technologies to
intercept system calls - instead the real one "stub" DLL was placed with only two functions - to register calls and pass them to the real library. After renaming MAPI32BAK.DLL to MAPI32.DLL I
succesfully got the user list. |
| Once I found a very strange thing - in the LAN, where 3 Microsoft Windows 98 workstations were connected together, file copying was fine, but work with Interbase server, installed on one of the workstations, was very slow, but server and all network configurations seem to be fine. |

Test with SiSoft Sandra clearly demonstrates that TCP/IP protocol works very slowly - about 100 times slower than IPX/SPX. Simply protocol removing and installation again
gives no results. The only solution was to remove all network part of Windows and to reinstall all files manually according to Q181599

| Sometimes it is very annoying to always open files only with an associated program. |

Using Regedit you can easily add items to Windows context menu. To add facility to open all files with Notepad,
under [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*] key you must create subkey [shell\Notepad\command] with value [Notepad.exe %1]. Exported REG file looks like:
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Notepad\command] @="notepad.exe %1" Remember - inaccurate editing of registry may destroy operating system and lead to loss of data! |
| Sometimes it is necessary to disable a program which starts automatically when Windows is starting. |
Places from where a program can start are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices - from here also programs can be run , but some of them can be integrated with OS In Windows 98 you can look through all of them using MSCONFIG.EXE Remember - inaccurate editing of registry may destroy operating system and lead to loss of data! |
