settings.
Administrative template files in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista are divided into ADMX (language-neutral) and
ADML (language-specific) files. ADML files are XML-based ADM language files that are stored in a language-specific folder. By default, the
%Systemroot%PolicyDefinitions folder on a local computer stores all ADMX files, and ADML files for all languages that are enabled on the
computer.

neowin.net - 18.01.2009Microsoft changes Windows files on user PCs without permission, researchers say
Microsoft Corp. has started updating files on computers running Windows XP and Vista, even when users have explicitly disabled the operating systems'
automatic update feature, researchers said today.
Scott Dunn, an editor at the "Windows Secrets" newsletter, said that nine files in XP and Vista -- but not the same files in each operating system -- have
been changed by Windows Update, the Microsoft update mechanism, without displaying the usual notification or permission dialog box. The files, said
Dunn, are related to the XP and Vista versions of Windows Update (WU) itself.
"We started hearing from readers that Windows was
modifying files in the middle of the night, even when Windows Update was turned off," Dunn said today. Some machines' event logs pinpointed Aug. 24
as the date when the invisible updates began, but on one of Dunn's personal machines, the log showed the changes taking place this week.

sync files, Microsoft has

statement.
According

with Active Sync 4.5 only but
the Redmond-based software
giant will update Windows

Windows Vista PCs to support
file synchronization with

continuing to use ActiveSync
4.5 for file synchronization

option very soon." ..

is, we'll start with a little history. Back in the Windows XP days, users were able to modify a system file called Uxtheme.dll and create custom
.msstyle files, thus creating their own desktop themes to replace the default "Luna" theme. However, over time, patching went from just one file
to multiple files and repatching was necessary when Microsoft would update the Uxtheme.dll files.

The typical U.S. computer in

winbeta.org - 03.08.2007At last, a bridge between Windows Home Server and Media Center
With this week's release of Power Pack 2 for Home Server, Microsoft is filling a very important gap. Up until recently, the company had been
maintaining that the place for users to store videos and multimedia was on their Media Center computers (generally Windows Vista Ultimate-based
systems), and the place for their "everyday files" was their Home Server. But the biggest and most cumbersome "everyday files" are multimedia
files, including those that deserve to be streamed and accessed by Media Center. While setting up Media Center to include a Home Server folder as one
of its "watch folders" is one option for getting files listed, that's not as rich as setting up a streaming connection...

Microsoft officials say they are investigating reports that files the company deployed this summer prevent Windows XP users who run a built-in

"We are aware of reports about
customers not being able to download some updates from Windows Update when using the latest version of the Windows Update client and after
reinstalling Windows XP system files from CD," a Microsoft spokesperson said Sept. 27. "We take this issue very seriously and are investigating the
root cause of this behavior and what options are available to address it."
The issue was brought to light by Scott Dunn, a

winbeta.org - 28.09.2007Windows Vista: Offline Files
Here's one I can relate to,
Jim talks about the improved
Offline files feature in
Vista, something I use myself
and am very happy with.
One of the key things
that we focused on for Windows
Vista was improving the
experience for mobile (laptop)
users. If you are like me, you
spend quite a bit of time
running around with a laptop.
However, when I am in my
office, I tend to use my
desktop. The primary way that
I share files between my
desktop and my laptop is by
storing them on a Windows
Server (it's also the primary
way that I make sure that my
files get backed up). For
example, at Microsoft we
redirect the "Documents"
folder (previously known as
"My Documents" in Windows
XP) to a share on the server
(of course, we use access
controls on the folders to
make sure that I am the only
person who can see my
files).
By
redirecting key folders like
the Documents folder to a file
share, my documents are
available to me no matter
which one of my Windows PCs I
am using. The problem of
course is what happens when I
don't have access to the
server -- such as when I am
not on the corporate network
or perhaps sitting on an
airplane. Frankly, the same
problem exists with any file
share that I might try to
access when I am not on the
corporate network.

Windows 7 already includes native

will just show a generic icon. Installing the DivX Tech Preview enables MKV support, so the video files will work in any application that relies on
Microsoft's native media support, and even adds hardware acceleration for video decoding (if your video card supports it)...
