I believe it's only on XP Pro, yes. Thats one of the things I hate about Home - they cut out a lot of useful little features. But then again, how many run of the mill users need to change their account type? Most probably have the one account created at setup. tongue.gif

Playing around in that same area you can also set a lot of local security policies. Not sure of the tabs and such since I'm on a Linux Box, but I know somewhere in that you can change logon policies and such. Fun to look and mess around with if you have some free time and enjoy customizing. smile.gif

  5. How To Improve Windows.
    (7)
    Lets face facts Windows is currently the most used operating system in the world. That said, let us
    also admit that Windows is not the greatest OS out there either. (that would be Unix) So ignoring
    completely ones opinions of Windows let's imagine we had the power to chance Windows completely
    and were able to disregard previous Windows implementations (if you so choose ie the start menu) and
    Microsoft marketing techniques. How would you change Windows to make it better? For me the most
    fundamental change would be to make it more like Linux or OS X and have the kern....

  8. How To Enable User Login Security On Windows Vista
    NOT User Account Control (0)
    How to enable User Secure Login on Windows Vista You may have worked in a business,
    educational or other network that uses Windows to log in. With or without being on a domain, most
    business environments "require" you to press the key combination of CTRL + ALT + DELETE prior to the
    log on prompt (the username, password and domain box). This is supposed to enhance login security to
    verify the authenticity of the login box (so that no other malicious software makes a similar box).
    This tutorial will show you how to enable this functionality on Windows XP Home Ed....

    You have already seen people fully desperate because their Windows system cannot boot. Of course,

    their data. There is a way avoiding that. Of course they will still have to go back to the shop and
    have the thing repaired. But they can, before that, save their files. There are Windows LiveCD
    distros, you can boot on a CD which has an embedded Windows. Because you boot off the CD-rom, the
    hard disk is not embedded. And as you boot off a CD, there is no virus problem, at least....
  10. How To Change Your Windows User Environment Variables
    a step-by-step guideline (5)
    1. INTRODUCTION. Most of Microsoft very basic users are satisfied when the Windows installer
    installs each new software, automatically putting each file in the right place and making each
    Windows registry change. However, some new incoming software environment, mainly the ones from the
    open world, let you do some changes manually. For instance, if you install the java development
    software on your pc, you have to manually tell windows where the java binaries are. That means, if
    you type “javac” in a command shell window, Microsoft Windows has to know that javac.ex....

  19. Extremely Slow Hdd Operations On Windows Xp
    (9)
    On the first of this month I benchmarked my system running on Win XP using FreshDiagnose. The Hard
    Disk Benchmark showed 32 MB/s Write Speed & 40 MB/s Read Speed for my first Hard Drive & 35 MB/s by
    51 MB/s for the second. Since yesterday all the operations on the first HDD (360 GB) have become
    extremely slow. A ~700 MB file copy operation on the same drive which used to take less than a
    minute, now requires 7-10 minutes. I tried re-fitting the SATA & power cables for the drives but
    that didn't help. The other drive (80 GB) is working fine. A dying drive is out of th....

    PC every six months. No problems at all, everything was working. So I proceeded to install drivers,
    which I had already on my flash drive, a 2GB PNY flash drive. But, for some reason, the usb drive
    was not recognized by windows XP on my uncle's PC, and I tried again on another port. No luck. I

    Recently, I have received an "Exploring Windows" email from Microsoft, which led me to an
    interesting link called 100 Reasons You'll be speechless. Thought it was related to Windows
    Vista, and it was. Here are some of my opinions: 1. It makes using your PC a breeze, if Windows is
    responding most of the time. Also, many users have complained about User Account Control, which say
    that it makes using the PC not a breeze. I haven't tried it yet, but from others' point of
    view, it seems to be intrusive and annoying. 2. Your music may be a click away from your re....
