I appreciate that, However I don't even know where to begin to do this. Maybe you could give me an idea where to start or point me in the right direction? I use the windows classic shell.

Is there a way to get rid of the Explorer Command bar in vista yet, Also the Search in Explorer. Is Vlite capable of that yet? I would like to get vista as close to XP style interface as I can. I am talking about the Organize View Burn, Etc.. In the explorer window. Its annoying, its gone in vista safe mode.

Yes this is legal, As per M$ reps. I saw something about this in the microsoft XP pro english forums just last Tuesday. Here it is. And btw Reset5 and programs like it that reset the activation period are not legal.

Sweet! Thank you. A Few that I find very useful, These were posted by another guy in the nlite forum.

I would never purchase anything from IBM, It would be like purchasing from what used to be Packard Bell. Overpriced junk. Just to make my point see newegg.com Retail: = $1,830 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-102-229&depa=0 Edit and BTW, I dont buy from newegg.com, I think there overpriced to.

Ok, I take it you dont recomend Enterprise. WE are a corporation of about 8600 people across the US. $800 really isnt all that much, It seems that Enterprise Is the only one that has everything that we need. The Support for multiple Vitual Host web sites, DNS server, AD, The support for our cluster services, The support for upto 8 processors. Am I wrong do the others have this stuff? $800 isnt all that much, And No it is not the OEM, Yes I do know what that means. I would not risk my job over a few hundred bucks.

Cool I can give my clients more to do while there driving down the highway.

Ok, I am playing with 2003 Ent. trial right now, Specifically the DNS server, I like it alot better than 2000's DNS server. Coupe of questions.... 1st can someone tell me is Enterprise the only version of 2003 that has DNS server. 2nd Question my sources tell me I can have 2003 enterprise with 25cal for about $800, Can anyone tell me where I can get it for less, Possibly fewer CAL's? 3rd I paid $900 for my 2000 Adv Server, Is it me or does it seem M$ server software is actually getting a little cheaper. And last this is more of a confirmation, It seems 2003 Active directory is a little faster than it was on 2000, Or is it just me.
