Recently, I gave some folders an alias for web sharing. The folders got cut and pasted out of their original location and then restored. The aliases were lost in the process yet when I try to reassign them the same alias it complains that the alias is taken. No other folder has these aliases only they did but that was lost in the cut and paste. Is there a system file somewhere or a registry I can edit to remove them so I can reapply them? The alias names are sensitive. The OS is Windows Server 2003.
I deleted the websites from IIS, refreshed and I was able to make the alias again.

I've moved my Windows 10's /Desktop folder to a different location.
As a result, my batch and Powershell scripts that were pointing to %USERPROFILE%/Desktop no longer worked. Is there another way to get the location of my desktop without hardcoding the new path in?
In PowerShell you can use this
[Environment]::GetFolderPath([Environment+SpecialFolder]::Desktop)
To use it from a batch file you can call powershell to get the path
powershell -C "[Environment]::GetFolderPath([Environment+SpecialFolder]::Desktop)"
and then save the result to a variable using for /f

I'd like to know, if there is any problem when I set my .bash_profile or other configs such as .irssi or .slate as symbolic links. The thing is, I would like to git all my configs and scripts in /usr/local/bin(I'm on OS X), so that I have version control and a backup for them. This way, I can also use them on other machines.
I was just wondering whether anything could break, if I'm doing that.
Yes as long as the symlinks are valid and the user has proper permissions to read those locations, you should not have any problem.
Nothing breaks, that's exactly how people put their dotfiles under version control

i am running xampp on my windows 7 machine. i've downloaded the sourcecode for concrete5 5.4.2.2 (that is a PHP-based CMS) but some directories are not writeable, see screenie:
since there is no such thing as chmod on windows i am now wondering how to make the folders writeable by the webserver?!
There are two steps that should help you. First, check what user the web server is running as. If you can't see it easily, just Task Manager - it should show you. Then, once you know that user, give him read/write permissions through windows explorer to that folder. Alternatively, you could give "eveyone" access this way, but that has some serious security implications.

on my local website i would like to the /web directory point to a folder on my windows box. I have tried putting a shortcut there and it failed. I tried creating an alias in my httpd.conf and i get a 403 http error. Im out of ideas!
The 403 error means that for some reason the server process doesn't have permission to access that folder, but it looks like you're probably doing that alias correctly.
Just making sure, everything is entirely within windows? If it was linux pointing to windows, you could mount --bind it somewhere, or chmod it to fix the permissions issue.

I found that taking any exe file, renaming it to program (without extension) and putting it in C:\ root folder might cause strange things in windows like showing this application when other programs start.
What is it? is it some kind of backdoor?
p.s if you restart windows after doing so - you get a warning about it.
thanks,
Adi Barda
Maybe the fact that some programs don't know how to access C:/Program Files/. because it has a space. Then they are trying to execute C:/program, which in your case turns out to be the file you created.
