So, you have to remove/uninstall the old driver, and you do this by simply going to your Printers and Faxes folder in the control panel of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server.  Depending on your view there may be different ways of getting there.  Once you have gotten there though, you go up to File>Server Properties, and you’ll see your list of print drivers there.  From there, you can remove or replace as you please.

Have you ever needed to automate the restart or shutdown process?   Some situations that stick out in my mind are deploying Windows Updates to a system(which almost always require a reboot) and you don’t want to reboot the PC or server during critical business hours.  Well you can setup your system to automatically reboot or shutdown with built-in Windows commands and the built-in task scheduler.

You can also abort a system shutdown, remotely reboot a system on the network or even just have a computer automatically log off.

Here are few of the more important command line commands built into Windows:

• Shutdown -s (Shuts down your computer)

• Shutdown -r (Shuts down and restarts your computer)

• Shutdown -m \\computername (Shutdown a remote computer)

• Shutdown -a (Abort a system shutdown)

• Shutdown -l (Log Off)

Just some handy commands if you want to automate the restart or shutdown system via a batch file, which you may then schedule with the built-in Windows task scheduler.

Well, there is an alternative, and it’s been built into Windows all along, but never knew it was there.  If you go into the Windows Control Panel>Accessibility Options>Mouse(Tab) and then click the check box ‘MouseKeys’ to enable it.  You then have the options to adjust speed and sensitivity, which you will want to do.  An excellent and handy tool for those needing an emergency mouse, when the one you have is on the fritz, or just plain not there.
