How do I save the desk top picture on my PC?

Q.

A. I think what you are after is screen capture software. For windows, there are many programs. One follows:

The above software will allow you to create a picture file out of what is currently being displayed on your monitor. Note I haven't tried the above software, I just found it in a quick search for windows freeware.

The following is a screenshot of the notebook I am typing on right now. Note that the version of linux it is running contains a screen capture utility. But if you are looking to do something like this:

in windows, see the screencaptureprint link above, that should work...

how can i creat partions to 160GB hard desk new ?
Q.

A. When you format your hard disk run Fdisk to create partitions.

If you want to partition a drive without formatting you will need a partition editor.

--------------------------------
Partitions are a big waste of time. Get more ram, a faster video card, another hard drive. The only reason to use partitions is if you are installing more than one operating system.

1) You disk will not be measurably faster. You will waste a lot of time setting the partition up, readjusting partition size later as I guarantee you will not correctly guess the size you need. In addition when you need to find something your will need to search all 3 drives. Check, scan, clean, and defragment 3 drives.

2) Some people claim that your data is safer. If you are keeping data on a hard drive with no external back ups , with or without its own partition you are taking a foolish risk.

You can reformat the operating system without altering the program and data partitions. The newly installed operating system will require all the programs be reinstalled. You are also taking the assumption and risk that the spyware/viruses did not infect all the partitions.

Myth 7: You have to partition a large hard drive and/or defrag it often to get the best performance.

Screen Shots?
Q. Is it possible to set up the computer so it regularly saves screenshots that can be retrieved later (ie to make sure employees aren't doing anything they aren't supposed to). if so, where do these screen shots get saved? or would i designate it myself when i program the computer to take the screenshots?

A. You can set up a simple Scheduled Task that takes a screen shot and saves it to a network drive somewhere.

But wouldn't it be easier to use Group Policies to lock down the PC and prevent the users from doing anything the SysAdmin doesn't want them doing? That's what we do. Internet access is by manager approval only and is limited by a GP at our proxy server. Only necessary network drives are mapped. Even for the employees who can get on the internet, they do not have local admin rights, so they can't install software (like games and stuff) - they have to call in to the Service Desk for installation assistance. Plus our installation routines leave out the games normally installed with Windows - with the users not having local admin rights they can't bring them back. Also without local admin rights, users can't bring in their USB flash drives from home and install software.
