Change the values for

and now the password to unload or uninstall OfficeScan is "test" (without quotes). Thanks, Chaos!

/windows | Jan 24, 2012 CMD does not support UNC paths as current directories #
Use pushd instead of cd:
C:\>cd \\server\share
'\\server\share'
CMD does not support UNC paths as current directories.
C:\>pushd \\server\share
Z:\>dir
Volume in drive Z has no label.
Volume Serial Number is XXXX-XXXX
Directory of Z:\
01/18/2012 05:04 PM <DIR> .
01/18/2012 05:04 PM <DIR> ..
01/18/2012 04:54 PM 4 test.txt
1 File(s) 4 bytes
2 Dir(s) 978,217,558,016 bytes free
Z:\>popd
C:\>
More from Microsoft:
If you specify a network path, the pushd command temporarily assigns the first unused drive letter (starting with Z:) to the specified network resource. The command then changes the current drive and directory to the specified directory on the newly assigned drive. If you use the popd command with command extensions enabled, the popd command removes the drive-letter assignation created by pushd.

/windows | Dec 01, 2011 Batch export IncrediMail 2 mail folders #
to eml files with the open source Reynardware Incredimail Converter 0.53 (aka incredimail-converter-reynardware). A few notes about the process:
- Default location of IncrediMail email data under Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\IM\Identities\{longstring}\Message Store\
- IncrediMail email messages are stored in proprietary IMM files
- Attempting to "Export a Complete Directory" caused Reynardware Incredimail Converter to crash (known bug), but "Export a Single Database" (i.e., export a single mail folder / IMM file) worked beautifully. Simply specify an IMM file in the "Incredimail Database" line (e.g., C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\IM\Identities\{longstring}\Message Store\Inbox.imm, point "Attachment Directory" to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\IM\Identities\{longstring}\Message Store\Attachments, and click "Convert".
- Once the conversion is complete, find your eml files in a new subdirectory inside MessageStore. The subdirectory will be named after the IMM file.
- Reynardware Incredimail Converter 0.6 is in the works, offering Unicode and multi-platform support.
UPDATE: Just stumbled onto the RIC help file, which contains some interesting details:
Technical Background on the Incredimail Xe Database
An Incredimail Xe database consists of three files. The first Incredimail file is where all the emails are stored and has an extension of .imm. It should be noted that the .imm files do not contain any attachments, just the raw email. The second Incredimail file contains index information for the .imm file and this file has an extension of .imh, or also known as the header file. The information in this header file includes the sender, receiver, subject, etc. The final piece is the attachment directory. The attachment directory contains all the attachments which Incredimail receives. This includes your pictures, documents, programs, etc. All three pieces, .imm, .imh, and the attachment directory, must be present for ReynardWare Converter to properly convert a Incredimail Xe Database.
Technical Background on the Incredimail 2 Database
An Incredimail 2 database is almost exactly the same as the Incredimail Xe database except there are no longer any .imh files. The header files are replaced with one SQLite 3 database file called containers.db. This database file contains the same information as the .imh files in the Incredimail Xe format.
