i have dsl now, but my mother want to downgrade. she hates the internet for some reason Mwahahahaha sven! You can always come over to my house! Poor guy... I have a 2.5 megabit connection! sven, convince your mother to stay with the connection you had before... I can't live without a connection less than 1 megabit!
What exactly are you trying to do? Modifying the SAM file may corrupt it and not let you login anymore... If you are trying to reset a forgotten password, use the Offline NT Password and Registry Editor (check Google for it)... Good luck!
Ofcourse no one else can see your ip displaying image. But thats exactly my point, if someone wants to use this info all he has to do is post in some of threads and rest his sig will gather all the information. The values in the very sig can be dumped in a text file(no need even to check the server logs). Now i am not a paranoid kind of guy but just thought many of us wont even be aware of these consequences. Although its extremely easy to do that with an IP sig, only a script kiddy would do that!
When you're viewing the sig, no one else but you can see that sig... The only place where your IP is so stored is in the server logs... Same goes for my sig, but I hardly check the log!
Speaking of those Danasoft sigs, I was just on their site and noticed that the image wasn't showing up, so I checked the link, and believe it or not, THE IMAGE DIDN'T GET PARSED! And I got the source code out of it!
I'd just like to say that I just tried making an AIO with XP Home SP2 and XP Pro SP2 (released from Microsoft) and it works perfectly. However, I suggest you make your Windows PE version using your SP1 CD since the SP2 files are still beta! If anyone wants, I can post pics of my directory listing and boot menu...
