To enable remote desktop.
• Open registry editor by running regedit from Run.
• Go to the node HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
• Change the data of the value fDenyTSConnections to 0.
We can enable remote desktop from windows command line by running the following command.
reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server” /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
To disable remote desktop we need to run the below command.
reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server” /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Reboot or logoff is not required after running the above command. I have tested this on Windows XP and Windows 7 and it has worked fine. It would work fine on Windows Vista too.
ownCloud server replied: Forbidden (ownCloud Forbidden)
I recently installed the latest version of ownCloud. A self hosted cloud platform for syncing all your favourite documents and files you may need to access from elsewhere.
The install was easy enough – See other post – however i did then encounter a few issues when using the Windows sync software,
Here is what i had to do to fix a: “ownCoud server replied: Forbidden” ownCloud Forbidden error.
(Well hopefully it works for you also! )
I had to do 2 things in order to get this installed:
The first error i got was;
“download of ownCloud source file failed.
SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chainSSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain”
The solution i found here was to add the below into my installer.php :
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CERTINFO, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
This allowed me to start the install, and then supply it with my DB creds and table to get started.
The second error, was only once i had set up my default file structure using the web interface and finally installed the desktop based client was the aforementioned ownCloud Forbidden error.
The solution? After endless hours of scrolling through countless Forums and the full ownCloud documentation;
In plain text, to show spydah’s fix to an ownCloud Forbidden error:
Simply add the following to your .htaccess file:
<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Limit>
Done. Sorted. finally!

Getting the path of AppData using PowerShell
Getting the path of %AppData% using PowerShell + $env: usage
There are 2 ways to find the folder location of AppData on a PC, and to check appdata path.
The first method uses the simple $env: command. This command has long been used by C# users to make multi platform software, in the case where your AppData or any other environmental variable may be living somewhere other than the normal factory set location.
Simply open up powershell and type:
$env:APPDATA
Method 2 is basically doing the exact same as above, but this time using a call and answer approach:
Get-Childitem env:APPDATA | %{ $_.Value }
Below are some extra $env: variables that you may find useful;
