We don't want to do that here again. A lot of people post without trying, without reading - they aren't sysadmins. A sysadmin would probably spend, oh, 2-3 hours searching before asking anything... if not more. | |

Part of the unspoken expectation of "professionalism" is that folks read these pages. That said, stripping "home" and "Windows 7" from your question leaves something that is reasonably on topic IMO. | |

Like you most people fail to find and or read it. Personally I think we've wasted enough time and other resources pandering to the clueless already. | |
