SharePoint:hiding quick launch bar

Hi All,

There is a way you can hide a quick launch bar in MOSS 2007.

Here are the steps to follow:

(1)Add content editor webpart on page
(2) Click on Modify shared webpart
(3) Click on source editor button
(4) Copy and paste the following HTML

<style>
.ms-quicklaunch
{
display:none;
}
.ms-navframe
{
display: none;
}
</style>

(5)Go to layouts section of that webpart and select Hidden.

That's it. Now no more quick launch bar !!!!!

If you want to get quick launch back, just again edit the page and go to modify shared webpart of content editor webpart. Go to source editor button and remove all HTML content and save it.

That's it. Now you will have your quick launch back in place !!!

IIS7:Cannot start service W3SVC on computer '.'

Error while restarting IIS
i.e. after stopping IIS when i start again i hot this error
Cannot start service W3SVC on computer '.'

Resolution:

1. Run -> appwiz.cpl -> Turn windows features on or off -> Check "Windows Process Activation Service"
2. That's all.

and also check this

You should check to see that all of the following services are started, or at the very least, not disabled: HTTP, Windows Process Activation Service, DCOM Process Launcher, and RPC Endpoint Mapper.
You should also verify t hat no other process is listening on port 80. The simplest way to do this is to issue the following in a command window:

netstat -a -o|findstr 80
