QuickFix - Temporary User Account Registry Fixer

When working with clients under ADDS or local profiles, you may encounter moments where the users profile directory becomes corrupted or deleted. This generates a balloon error for the affected user stating they have been logged in with a temporary account, and any files placed on the PC will be removed upon log-out.

To properly remedy this error, you must delete their profile key located on affected PC's local windows registry. You will be able to identify the corrupted user profile as the key will be identified with a .bak value.

Targeted Registry path containing user account profile data:
{HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList}

This .bak key will need to be removed as well as any identical keys to the .bak entry, with the .bak absent.

 This process can become very time consuming when needing to apply the fix to multiple machines.

For this reason, I have created an application that will scan the local registry and remove any such entries. This will allow you to resolve the problem for any user affected with this issue on that machine.

Simply load the application with admin rights, press [Scan] and if any problems are found, simply press [Fix Errors] and this will remove any registry keys that are responsible for the temporary log-in error. Simple and Fast, the way any Admin likes it! =)

BEFORE

Numerous corrupted entries can be seen in the windows registry. When scanning for problems the application will list the problems in the report log.

AFTER

After pressing the Fix Errors button, the application will report which keys have been fixed and if there were any that were not able to be deleted. Once this is complete simple log-out. You may verify the user's account has been corrected by logging in with their credentials.

You must grant the application administrative privileges, as it will be accessing a sensitive area of the windows registry. If you are unable to obtain administrator rights or unable to follow the steps provided in their written form. It is not advised to take advantage of this Quick-Fix application. 

LIFE & ANT Simulator

LIFE & ANT Simulator is an app I created the shows cellular automation threw basic principles of math. These simulators are known as zero-player games, as the application does not need any user interaction to evolve once given an original state.

 

 

 A basic overview of the simulator:

The simulator has two modes. The LIFE simulator and the ANT simulator. Each one is based off of a different set of rules and will produce different patterns and outcomes.

The LIFE simulator also known as Conway's Game of Life, was first developed in the 1940s by a British mathematician named John Horton Conway. Conway wanted to develop a hypothetical machine that could build copies of itself. He was successful in doing so by a simple set of four rules. When these four rules are placed in a two denominational grid of living and dead "cell" states,  it mimics cellular automation which sparked the wide varieties of micro-analysis fields we see today. (See more info)

The four rules of Conway's Game of Life

• Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors will die, as if caused from loneliness.
• Any live cell with two or three live neighbors will lives on to the next generation.
• Any live cell with more than three live neighbors will die, as if caused from overcrowding.
• Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a living cell, as if by reproduction.

The ANT simulator  also known as Langton's Ant, was first developed in 1986 by Chris Langton. The formula was developed in order to be a two dimensional turing machine. It is based off of two simple rules where a single grid cell interacts with the rest of the grid. The actions taken by the cell is determined if the cell "state" is alive or dead, (lit up or dark). The turing machine is not intended as a practical computing technology, but rather as a hypothetical device representing a computing machine. Turing machines help computer scientists understand the limits of mechanical computation. (See more info)

The two rules of Langton's Ant -  (taking one cell that will "move" around the grid, will be called the "ant")

• If the "ant" lands on a living/white square, turn 90° right, flip the state of the cell to dead/black and move forward one unit
• If the "ant" lands on a dead/black square, turn 90° left, flip the state of the cell to living/white and move forward one unit

  Application Features worth mentioning:

I put a great deal of effort in attempts to make the application fully customizable. This is everything from window size, to grid sizes, to custom colors, to different rendering modes. While you will just need to play with some of the settings to find out what is best for your liking, here is an overview of some of the features you don't really find anywhere else.

• ANT & LIFE simulator in one app.
• Save output as a picture!
• Custom window size.
• Custom grid size.
• Custom grid colors.
• Custom decay colors.
• Adjustable spectrum.
• Different rendering styles
• 100% free and no advertisements, ever!
