Has anyone ever has this problem.........
I'm using the same Windows XP CD that I used to reformat my HDD's. But
today while the CD was copying the files into the HDD there were many

XP Professional on different network
Dear Sir/Madam,
My company uses static IPs. Therefore, I need to clear all the IPs each

IPs back after I return from a business trip. I will appreciate it if you
can let me know a better way to do it.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Best regards,

Using VBScript to refresh group policy, restart, and log in.
I am writing a script that needs to apply the domain's group policy,
restart, and automatically log the administrator back in without
needing any user interaction. The problem is that I cannot get rid of
the legal message. This is the popup that appears after you press CTL-
ALT-DEL on a Win2k or WinXP machine which has a message set in the

defrag problem
I hope somebody has an idea on this one.
When I run the defragment analyse utility it tells me I need to defrag and
shows loads of red on the display just to make the point.
However, when I run the defrag it gets to the end and the drive is still
fragmented!!
I even ran recovery console and used chkdsk c: /r thinking I might have one
or two corrupt files but this has made no difference....

Is it OK to enable SafeDllSearchMode?
I read that the registry key SafeDllSearchMode was introduced in
Windows 2000 SP3. It improves security by searching in the system
directories for DLLs before searching in the current directory. But
it was disabled by default in all versions of Windows until Windows XP
SP2 because it could potentially break existing applications. Does
anyone know what applications will break if you enable ...

System Restore
Anyone know of any free software that does the same thing that windows system
restore does? I just can't count on windows system restore because I keep
getting corrupted restore points. I flushed out all my restore points on 7/4
and today tried to restore to that date and it didn't work. I don't know how
that restore point got corrupted that fast.
