Isn't Bliss the default Wallpaper? I'm not too sure because some of the tweaks I've used removed the wallpaper.. possibly when the welcome screen was disabled, or when the start menu and theme is changed to classic mode.

Nothing to do with an Unattended XP CD, moved to Software Hangout

The Administration point still contains the whole office package though, the mst file just instructs setup what to install and what not to install. Making an SFX archive in winrar is probably the best solution for now.

yes that is right, but product key is inserted when you make an administration point, not in registry.

If you're using a distro such as Smoothwall or IPCop for internet sharing on a PC (decent enough on an old 166 as you can see in my specs), then your hub/switch will be doing most of the LAN work. If you're feeling clever enough, you could install FreeBSD on an old box and use it for internet routing.

Don't say any spoilers! Season 3 isn't due to be screened in the UK until February/March at least! Looking forward to 24 Season 3 as well

It comes from the OEM System Builder site. But I will need to bittorrent this and the DX9NTOPK.exe files to help it spread before updating the site guide. A contact from Microsoft seems pretty much OK with this.

No, Windows Services start before logon. Take for example Remote Desktop: My remote machine is booted up and stands at the login screen, I am able to remotely connect.

In User.cmd - since you are not specifying a password, I don't think you will need the " " after your name. But names seperated with a space needs to be surrounded with quotes.

Have you tried pressing F8 just before the Windows XP boot screen appears, and selected "Last Known Good Configuration"?

Run a search on the registry for "free porn galleries". And delete anything it finds.

Using Ad Muncher here, not only it blocks pop-ups but also removes any form of adverts on webpages such as banners and text links. It even allows the innocent pop-ups to load. Ad Muncher acts as a proxy (like Proxomitron) so it works on any browser. Having used Meaya, Guard-IE, WebWasher, BannerZapper, Proxomitron (causes BSODs with Kerio), Ad Muncher turned out to be the best http://www.admuncher.com/

Just to let you know, post counts don't apply in the Funny Farm, so if your last 3-4 posts were in there it wasn't counted to your total.

now now ladies...

How is this done? Do you scan a photo of yourself and process it through a 3D application?

I've tested the SRP beta, and no hotfixes are listed on Windows Update, (well except for one newer hotfix that isn't included in the SRP). The only items listed are IE/OE Cumulative Update, Jscript 5.6, Java VM, MDAC, and possibly the directx patch (I don't know for sure since directx 9.0b was installed on the test machine) Anyhow, I can say for sure this will solve the hotfix confusion we've had lately!

Well, if you're looking for the "Best compression utility" 7zip has one of the best compression methods around, far better than what WinRAR can do. But the most widely used compression tool around is probably WinRAR these days

um... :/

I don't see what the problem is, the Install Sponsor option is very clear during the Messenger Plus setup, all you have to do is uncheck it and it won't install any spyware.... :/

Windows XP SP1 already slipstreams IE6SP1, so there is nothing to worry about. The only update you'll need for IE6SP1 is just the August Cumulative Update.

You can get the DirectX 9.0b silent install from the Unattended XP CD site. But we have to remove this and replace it with the OPK version soon due to EULA violations.

Nobody, we're on a dedicated server now

Playing Unreal 2 atm, once that's out of the way, I'll play MOHAA Breakthrough and Homeworld 2. Still waiting for Call of Duty to be released though!

hmm, not bad, but office 2003 icons for hard drive/documents/multimedia icons? :/
