Privacy Settings in Spotify

Here’s how I configure my privacy settings in Spotify.
In the search bar, type:

spotify:user:YOURUSERNAME

In this case, I type techish since that is my username.
Hit Enter and you will see your public profile:

My Public Spotify Profile - Click Edit to Change Privacy Settings

When you click Edit, you will be presented with some settings you can customize and either turn on or turn off for public view.
Public Profile Settings

I leave everything off except my Top Artists.
Spotify continues to be AWESOME!

Enable XP Remote Administration through Firewall

This isn’t going to be detailed…
Get PsExec from SysInternals (http://live.sysinternals.com/psexec.exe)

psexec remoteComputerName cmd /c netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin

This runs the “netsh” command on the remote system to enable RemoteAdmin through firewall.  I ran into this problem when I couldn’t run the netsh from a 2003 box to control the XP remote system.  Strange.  No time to research it any further right now.

Strange Error

This is just craziness.  I suppose I should just reboot?  =]  This is on Windows 7 Professional 32bit SP1.  *scratches head*
 

Update [7/18/2011]
I found what the problem was — stupid me. I left verifier running on cmd.exe. Disabled it and voila, things work – as expected.
