Win7 Newsgroup

I have not been able to find a Windows 7 newsgroup and would appreciate
suggestions.

I am having a problem with "Administrator Permission to change attributes"
and need some help.

Go to alt.windows7.general. You won't find it on the Microsoft
newsgroups. Microsoft is nuking all their groups so you'll have to use
another news server like news.eternal-september.org or news.aioe.org
(both free) to access it. When you go there, be sure and put Ping Frank
in your subject field as he is the expert on Windows 7.

Now you are Trolling. You know quite well that the alt.windows7 newsgroup is
becoming and is already a children's play zone with all the crap that is created by
all of you .

That is not a newsgroup, it's a web-based forum.

There are no Microsoft-hosted newsgroups for Win7 (and all of their other
newsgroups are going away, also, unfortunately), but there is
alt.windows7.general. If your ISP does not carry it, some other sites do
such as eternal-september.org and aioe.org.

Microsoft has planned to drop all of their newsgroups, if not already
done. They want "us" to use the web based forums or their new NNTP
connector for those web forums.

I know; that's pretty much what I just posted.

Thanks to you all . . . it's nice to have someone to "bail me out" once in a
while.

Alias,

You certainly nailed this one.
The Microsoft Win 7 forum is less than useless.
Buy a good book and become as self sufficient as you can.
You sure as Hell won't find solutions on the Win 7 forum for your
problems.

Maybe Microsoft is doing this to do their part in helping bring down
unemployment because more techs will be called if the users can't get
solutions on line. Course, where will the techs go to find solutions?

alt.windows7.general on most of the big NNTP servers. There will never
be one here, MS is getting rid of NNTP by Oct. 1.
