  • 1. Roaming profiles
    HEllo, I have a WINXP Pro network configured to use roaming profiles. The profiles work fine but the only problem is when a user logs on in a remote office across the VPN it takes forever to log on due to the size of the profile. If a user has over a 3mb profile there is a few minute delay. SO my question is can I configure Windows to just save desktop and outlook settings in the profile? Thanks
  • 2. Utility for Copying Profiles
    Hello, I am currently planning for a new AD to replace our NT4 Domain. All PCs are XP and the user profiles are all stored on the local PCs. When users log into AD a new profile is created for them. Is there a process or a utility that will help me to copy the NT Domain profiles to the new AD profiles? I would rather not visit every PC to do this manaully. Thanks in advance!
  • 3. Local Policy Copy (Tweak UI)
    I currently run a Windows NT network with Windows XP clients. Since deploying the SOE to all machines, I have found the usefulness of TweakUI(XP Version) and would like to include certain tweaks into the users local computer policy. Does anyone know how I would be able to apply the tweaks from TweakUI to my already configured clients?
  • 4. System CPU Usage around 70%
    My system isconsistantly showing the following: Image Name = System User Name = (blank) CPU Usage = 60 - 75% Memory Usage = 20 - 216K The performane of my machine degraded recently and this may have something to do with it. Any ideas what's going on?
  • 5. Is Maximizing Msconfig window size in XP possible?
    Is there a way to permanently add a feature to the title bar to maximize and minimize the size of the windows in the Microsoft Configuration Utility (msconfig) in windows XP Pro and Home editions? Windows 98 has that capability and it sure makes it easier to manage the settings when you can maximize the windows so you can see more of their contents at one time on the screen. -- Clark

If your hard disk made a strange noise, then perhaps the pure size of the
Service Pack wrote to a part of your hard drive that is defective.

SP2 is not responsible for the general state of your HDD..

Automatic Windows Update won't run and when trying to run manually it will not download. I noticed strange noises coming from speakers, and Norton hasn't picked up on any viruses. I'm not happy with XP and want to change back to ME but I'm not sure how to do that on my own?
