Cannot access All Users folder in Windows – Access is Denied No Permission – Terminal Server Start Menu and Desktop

Want to add an icon on a Terminal Server Start Menu or Desktop for ALL USERS but can’t due to permissions?

The \All Users folder is a Symlink to “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu”The Default User is a Symlink to C:\Users\Default. A Symlink is not accessible by a user. They are there to provide backward-compatibility for programs.

Have a look at the directory listing from the command prompt using the /a switch which shows all attributes.

How to fix Gopro Hero audio sound issues clicking and chopper sound when wifi enabled. Gopro hero 4 silver black problems and issue

IMG_0080-0.PNG

Do you have a Gopro hero 4 silver or black ripped out if the box and found it has a clicking or chopper sound noise when playing back?
You will find this only happens when wifi is enabled.
I wrote an email to Gopro and responded within 24 hrs suggesting there is a problem as below.


Hi Mark,

Thank you for contacting GoPro and reaching out with your concern. I’m sorry for the trouble you’ve experienced with HERO4 Silver. I can imagine the slight discomforts having these issues arise. I would be more than happy to review this with you.

While I’d love to help troubleshoot your concerns, the helicopter-like noise your camera is emitting is a hardware impairment we’d have to replace. Your camera is currently under warranty and I’d be happy to being the process started to replace your camera. As an added alternative, if you are still within the time frame to exchange your camera from where it was purchased, it may be easier to exchange for a new one. I have zero problem continuing to help you through our warranty, just keep in mind it takes just a tad longer due to mailing processes. Nonetheless, if you’d like to continue replacement via warranty, please reply to this e-mail with the following:

– A photo/scan/screenshot of your original purchase receipt to show that you are within the 1-year warranty period.
– Also reply with your preferred return shipping address, formatted like this:

Name
Phone Number
Address Line 1
Address Line 2
City/Town, State/Province, ZIP/Postal Code
Country

Once we hear back, we’ll be able to provide you with a RMA number (returns authorization) and return instructions.

Our apologies for the inconvenience, but we’ll do our best to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Many Thanks,
Lorraine

I decided to take it back to Craig at JBHIFI Castle Hill with some sample videos and email from Gopro. Without hesitation he swapped it out for me. (Thanks Craig, awesome service)

Got home unpacked and tested the replacement and was all good.

I wasn’t going to worry thinking it was firmware but not. It’s hardware so if you have the issue get it fixed under warranty.

Send me a reply/comment if you have any questions.

ISIS allegedly threats US government & staff hacked Twitter account

ISIS apparently defaces US Govt Twitter Account
The US Central Command Twitter account was hacked or at least defaced today apparently by ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria), posting tweets that threaten families of U.S. soldiers and claiming to have hacked into military PCs.

“We won’t stop!” one tweet read, “We know everything about you, your wives and children.”

“ISIS is already here,” read another, “we are in your PCs, in each military base.”

Initially the hackers replaced the Central Command avatar with a black and white graphic of a person with their head wrapped in a keffiyeh with the words, “CyberCaliphate” and “I love you ISIS,” next to it.

The US Central Command Twitter account was suspended about 1:05 p.m. US Eastern time.

One tweet included a link to a Pastebin post that bragged about the success of an ISIS-run CyberJihad being run by a CyberCaliphate. “While the US and its satellites kill our brothers in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan we broke into your networks and personal devices and know everything about you,” the post reads in part.

Other tweets appeared to list names of specific military personnel.

These listings apparently came from U.S. military phone directories that are posted online.

The Pentagon could not immediately confirm that ISIS had in fact hacked the account.
