I have been on steam with Microsoft products ever since the "Intel Inside" TV advertisement back in the 1995 TV ad with some Nuns (in Europe...perhaps Italy) selling wine through their web site. Because of that advertisement, I had to have, HAD TO HAVE (even though I new nothing about computers) a computer with "Microsoft Windows 95" and a MODEM. And get one I did!...witha MODEM and an ISP....

You can get back to a logon screen more similar to the originals with the following: Administrative Tools_ Local Security Policy Then go to the Security Settings - Local Policies - Security Options and in the right hand pane find the "Interactive Logon: Do not Display last user name" Enable that policy and logoff and give it a try.

I want to go back to the classic login, but everything I tried did not work. Tried policy edit no luck.

Each time I start up everything is perfect (apart from no virus programme yet) UAC asks for permission to regedit with the following details: "C:\Windows\regedit.exe/s"C:\Program Files\HPQ\Quick Launch Buttons\eabusb.reg How do i stop this from happening? AAARgh -- Cheers

Is anyone having issues with mapped network drives? I have a Windows 2003 domain, that maps user's drives via a logon script. Had issues with beta, RC1 and RC2 where I would be notified the drives could not be connected at logon, now I get it with RTM. I map a drive that "Documents" is redirected to, along with "Pictures' and "Music". I also map a drive to a specific media share. The drive...

I may have mistaken Authenticaton for Activation. I'm trying to find out how to keep the machines at home activated over VPN, sorry for the stupidity... :)

I just found out our boss in IT is giving us all a copy of Vista to use at home. (for business purposes). I want to know if it's possible to reach the authentication server at our workplace from home thru VPN? or will that not work at all? Jim H.

Hi, hope you can help me. I had Folder Security Personal running in my XP SP2 machine to lock some sensitive documents.

I am trying to create a Custom View in Event Viewer to span 3 Saved Logs (logs from a server) but it will only display the content from one log. If I complete the same process with the Windows Logs I can view content from multiple logs. Is this a bug or does Event Viewer not support custom views spanning saved logs (if so why does in let you do it) JC

Why does it take so long to logon with domain account into Vista? This is Vista Enterprise retail, not beta's. On Vista it is taking 5 minutes plus to logon. Our XP Workstations take about 15 seconds to logon using the same accounts. We do not use roaming profiles. We do redirect My Documents to the users home share. We also do some drive mapping with logon scripts. I have tried...
