I do not understand what NetWare is, please help ;) 2

[kayoti]

I am running WinXP Pro, and I have never heard of NetWare until today. I went to ControlPanel/UserAccounts to 'change the way users log on', and I received the following message: Client Services for NetWare has disabled the Welcome screen and Fast User Switching. To restore these features, you must uninstall Client Services for NetWare.
I have no idea what NetWare is, nor why or how I have it, but I would really appreciate it if somebody could "clue me in"

Thanks,
Kyle

Well, as you may have found out by now, NetWare is a NetWork Operating System. If this is a work system, you may have been using a NetWare server with out knowing it. NetWare is what provides you with your network drives and give you network printing. Since your just using the M$ published client for Netware, you arn't using much features beyond file and print. So if this is a work system, leave it be or you'll break somthing and annoy your IT guys.

If this is a home system and all you do is access the Internet, remove the Client Services for Netware. You do this in the properties of "My Network Places". The client got there because one of your kids or that techie friend was dorking around with your computer. Brent Schmidt CNE, Network +

click on start then click on my network places, then click on view network connections, then right click on the lan icon, then click properties, then uncheck the client services for netware box, then click uninstall, you should be able to get it from there.
