What? Does this apply to all the user accounts? I've been using XP for 2 years and haven't had a single prompt to change the password neither for the regular user nor the administrator.

Please use the quote function properly...It is crucial you close all the tags, or you may get alot of credits you don't deserve.
Just like everyone else here, I too never had to deal with that password expiration message on my home computer.
It's for the corporate environment only and I don't think they want (or like) users to disable that feature. Most users probably can't even disable it since they have a limited account with no admin rights. It's used for a purpose, to cycle your passwords every xx number of days to protect your account.
when you install Windows Xp, installation ask you a password if you leave it blank, your administrator account haven`t password but if you fill password field,you should enter password to login to Administarator account, and password will exp in 75 days
when you install Windows Xp, installation ask you a password if you leave it blank, your administrator account haven`t password but if you fill password field,you should enter password to login to Administarator account, and password will exp in 75 days
Ok... I guess you mean to say it's for people who use the administrator account for regular use instead of creating another user account. That's why I never saw it before .
Yes, it seems to be an optional setting for XP nowadays. I have never had that promt on my Windows XP machine either. The last time i recieved that prompt was in Windows 98SE (not 2000 as i think my dad changed the settings - he hasnt touched our XP machine settings yet!). But this info provided to us should be useful for those people out there that had enabled that setting yet are now getting annoyed with it.
By the way this is not my post I have found it in my pc and I forgot the source of it. I'll just
share it here.

I just made a search for a KHTML based browser on Windows OS and found one project which wasn't
updated since 2004 to port KHTML to Windows, but through Wikipedia I found Swift, the current

even sometimes they break and the GUI itself needs to be updated, what you want, it is version 0.2!
For all the web designers and people using Windows it is a good practice to see how their pages look

Those who are using Firefox 2 or IE7 might be at a risk of loosing their login credentials to
various sites, if they're using the in-built Password Manager of either browsers. Apparently,
Firefox 2 users are more at risk. The basic concept is, phishers can utilise spoofed URLs
belonging to the same domain for which you'd saved login information to capture your login
credentials when you try to login again. Apparently, none of the browsers check for the validity of
the URLs prior to filling up the forms on the page - thus disclosing your credentials to spo....
