I have been using this particular machine (mine) as I learned Win2k so that I could set up the rest of the machines on the network. Everyone has been up and running for quite some time now with no problems. While I was "getting the hang" of 2k, I made various security changes while...

I recently upgraded a Win98se computer to XP Home for the old guy across the street. I didn't want to do it and told him that I hated upgrades and it would be better to do a fresh install, but he has lots of photos from his kids and only a floppy to write to. The upgrade went well, but now...
