Files protected by TrustedInstaller

I have resolved the issue, so in the screen shots you wouldn’t see trusted installed listed but I’ll try to give enough information for you to be able to know what I did.

Log in as an administrator.
Now, go the folder you have been having trouble with (in deleting, renaming a file under it etc)
Right click on the parent folder

Select TrustedInstaller because thats what is protecting the file/folder and then click on button 'Advanced'

navigate to 'Owner' tab

the current owner shall be listed, please select account which you want to give access to.

Click "OK" until you have closed all properties windows and are back to the Windows Explorer screen. Then right click on the file again and choose "Properties".
Click on the Security tab again, and click the "Edit" button.

Click on the user name that you want to change the permissions for, which should be the same as who you changed the current owner too, and check on the box next to "Full Control".

How to Enable or Disable the Windows 7 Built-in Administrator Account
To Activate Administrator Account

Resolution
At times when we try to perform some tasks like deletion/ rename of files or folder windows 7 doesn't allow it and complains that we do not have administrator rights.

The simple way would be to login as administrator and give permission to the user account you have currently logged on as but at times the administrator account is not visible.

To enable Administrator account, please follow these steps.

Run command prompt.
Type following command net user administrator /active:yes
Press Enter
Close the command prompt.
Log off, and you will now see the built-in Administrator account log on icon added (enabled)..
Click on the Administrator icon to log on to the built-in Administrator account.

You can also specify your password for this particular account by using the following command

Net user administrator password

where you can replace "password" with your own password. You can see the account immediately after you log off your Windows 7

To disable Administrator account, please follow these steps.

Run command prompt.
Type following command net user administrator /active:no
Press Enter
Close the command prompt.
Log off, and you will now not see the built-in Administrator account log on icon

MAPI32.DLL is corrupt or the wrong version

noreply@blogger.com (overacupofcoffee) — Sat, 9 Oct 2010 13:59:00 -0700

I encountered this error when I tried launching MS Outlook 2003 from my window 7 OS. I noticed that I had both 2007 & 2003 versions installed on my machine.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Start Windows Explorer.
Locate and then open the following folder on your computer:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Msmapi\1033
Right-click the MSMapi32.dll file, and then click Rename.
Note The file (Msmapi32.dll) that you are renaming differs from the file (Mapi32.dll) that is mentioned in the error message.
Type Msmapi32.old, and then press ENTER to rename the file.
Start Outlook 2003.

If this doesn't resolve the issue ( it did not for me) then rename MAPI32.DLL to MAPI32.old and then restart MS outlook 2003.

web server vs application server

noreply@blogger.com (overacupofcoffee) — Sat, 9 Oct 2010 08:05:00 -0700

I have had confusions on what are the differences between both the servers. More I read more ideas started swirling in my head.

A liner would be:

Web Server - A web server displays static HTML pages and serves HTTP protocol.

Application Server - While a Web server mainly deals with sending HTML for display in a Web browser, an application server provides access to business logic for use by client application programs.
