  1. KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Filesystem

    In the right pane, look for the value named NtfsMftZoneReservation. If the value doesn't exist, you'll need to add it. Select New | DWORD Value from the Edit menu. The new value will appear in the right pane, prompting you for a value name. Type NtfsMftZoneReservation and press [Enter]. Double-click the new value. You'll then see the Edit DWORD Value screen.

    The default value for this key is 1. This is good for a drive that will contain relatively few large files. Other options include:

    * 2—Medium file allocation

    * 3—Larger file allocation

    * 4—Maximum file allocation

  2. Remote Desktop Web Connection -- there isn't anything else that meets your requirements

    ok, i might just try it again. is there any fool proof guide on how to set it up, with the right permissions and stuff?

    @compster:

    maybe ill try this too. thank you for bringing it up.

    Here's a decent link to setup information:

  3. I'd first reoptimize my Prefetch cache by running Bootvis. If you don't have Microsoft's Bootvis utility, it is still hosted in several places other than Microsoft.

    I'd then check My Computer/Performance/Advanced and make sure Processor Scheduling and Memory Usage is optimized for Programs

    If everything is still slow, review all of your critical performance parameters.

  4. I suggest you check your company computer use policies.  If any of our employees were attempting to do what you are trying to do I would see to it that they were terminated due to breach of our computer use policies.  Noone in our company is above our computer use policy (except the CEO/owner) and that's to protect our data and our customer's personal information.

    That's a good point... Why not just upload the files you wish to share between the two computers to a public host. My cable-based ISP gives me 2GB of space for this kind of crap.

  5. Hmmmm... interesting. I know that this doesn't happen often, but I've seen that on a few occassions, that XP cannot kill a hung process.

    You can try modifying the WaitToKillAppTimeout and HungAppTimeout:

    1. Start Regedit.

    2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

    3. Select HungAppTimeout from the list on the right.

    4. Right on it and select Modify.

    5. Change the value to the new timeout value.

    6. Select WaitToKillAppTimeout

    7. Right-click on it and select Modify

    8. Change the value to the new kill timeout.

    The Wait To Kill is the key one...

    And, changing the

  6. I realy don't care if my patition is FAT32 or NTFS: There is no noticeable difference, AFAIMC.

    My FAT32 system with w98 is secure, fast, and I never had a drive which failed yet. And I don't know what these "and so on" could be...

    Of course the NTFS system with XP is also safe and fast and I wouldn't see any reason to switch from NTFS to FAT32or vice versa (except to play the geek and gloat on the forums about my exotic partitions maybe).

    Here's a little education for you. First of all, FAT32 is not secure. It has no security system. Can you assign permissions for one user of your Win98 machine to have read only access to a file and another user to have full control? No... Nuff said.

    As to relaibility, consider the following:

    FAT32 has just one copy of the boot sector, NTFS has two for greater RELIABILITY

    FAT32 has no security or encryption, NTFS has both for RELIABILITY

    FAT32 will be crushed with repeated GPF's that force you to hard reboot while the OS is running, NTFS has state of the art recoverability--thats why it is used on Windows NT,2000,2003 servers -- its for RELIABILITY

    FAT32 performance on large volumes is terrible, NTFS performance is top-shelf

    If you don't believe, just go over to Microsoft's site and search for FAT32 versus NTFS -- or go to NTFS.com.

    FAT32 is and extension of FAT16... It's old... Hence NTFS (New Technology File System)

  7. You don't have to manually disable anything to remove log on locally from Power Users . This is all accomplished via Group Policy. When a workstation is a member of the domain, and someone logs on, the Default Domain Policy is applied to the workstation. If you remove the log on locally right from Power Users, each computer in the domain on the next logon will have that policy applied.
