If you download a large file(over 1GB) by IE7 in Vista RC1. The downloaded file may disappearfrom the destination folder after the download finished. The file will instead, be placed in c:\users\username\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\temporaryinternetfiles\virtualized\c\users\username\documents\ This problem maybe related to the security feature in IE7. To prevent this problem, you will needed to run IE by using the "run as" method and use the Administrator account to start IE7. In this case, large downloaded file will be placed in anywhere that you specificed.

Second, Offline Files in Windows Vista uses “Bitmap Differential Transfer” when synchronizing changes from the client to the server. Bitmap Differential Transfer is essentially a … Continue reading Better Synchronization in Offline File of Vista

I recently find a good blog post from cavis which about enumerating the ACL of Windows Share folder, so i re-post in here: In the Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Resource Kits (and going all the way back to NT4.0) there is a tool called SRVCHECK.EXE.
