Using local drives from remote connection session

First, open the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Remote Desktop Connection). Then click on the Options button and go to the Local Resources tab. The bottom section of the tab is titled Local Devices, and there you will see a check box labeled Disk drives. Checking this box will automagically connect all disk drives on you local machine to the remote machine when you open the RDC.

When you get logged into the remote box, open My Computer and you'll see that all the drives (hard drives, floppy drives, CD/DVD ROM drives, and even mapped drives) will show up as mapped disk drives.

Go ahead and open one of the newly mapped drives and transfer files to your heart's content. Now, how easy and painless was that! You can use these mappings as local drives through session.

%1 is not a valid Win32 Application

Some times you get this error while opening a file. I got this when opening a .jpg image file which came as attachment to email in MS Outlook.

To resolve this goto Explorer (File Explorer not Windows Internet explorer) - click Tools - click Folder Options - click on the tab File Types and select the appropriate file type from the Registered File Types list. Click on the Change button in details for *** extension. Select appropriate program for opening the file in question.

Setting ASP Buffer Limit on IIS

ASP Buffer Limit has been set to 4MB by default, if your ASP application is pulling more data through HTML response.

Use the following command to get the present limit for command prompt

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs GET w3svc/aspbufferinglimit

Similarly you can use the following command from command prompt to set the limit

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs SET w3svc/aspbufferinglimit LimitSize
