Hold down the Shift key.

This might help. I'm not sure though. I haven't had time to install it. I know you can clear the recent files though.

These are UNINSTALL "files" for MS patches. If the patches are not causing trouble AND your system is working ok, THEN yes you can dump them.

If you dump them and then need to go back you most...

I would put the OS on a 2GB mirrored partition. Then programs on a seperate mirrored partition. After that put data on a Raid5.

I would say that the AD on raid is also a semi-good idea.

Take a...

See if this helps any.

Oh yeah for gods sake don't buy this disk. There are about a gazillion places to download it for free.

Push out a de-frag over the network.

gshayes, why can;t this be done?

Actually all you need to fix the page file thing is System with Full Control. That's even more secure.

That won't totally solve it if the port is an allowed port. ie. A lot of the time Firewalls don't see "Netscape or IE" they see "allow port 80". There are tools out there to take advantage of this...

Q # 1. Yes. very slow.
2. No clue how to.
3. That shouldn't be a problem. I've never done it but I do it to the recycle bin frequently.

Put System in with Full Control. Don't put Everyone back.

Your password is there along with some chars. added by 2000 for security. I think the default is 7 added *'s

Mmmmmmm......... OK.

Any other takers?

Get Sp2.

Everyone is bad. Get rid of it and add System with Full Control.

What is the error?

paulgrib, I will e-mail you those links in a few days. I have some junk going on that isn't going to allow me to get to my office computer for a few days.

In the meantime you can disable File and...

Firstoff, goto http://www.foundstone.com/knowledge and get FPort to find out what ports are being used by what program. Then you could go into Services and kill/disable those one by one and reboot...

I had a similar problem after I used the Magnify program that came with 2000. I started it once and it never went away. I ended up re-installing.

paulgrib, your best( easiest) bet is going to be to download a firewall product like Tiny PF. It runs on 2000 Server and you can use it to set rules as to what ports/programs/IP addys can see/...

80 & 443 = IIS
135- 139 + 445 = Netbios

Do whatever you need to keep these from the Internet and only on your network. If you are hosting a web page 80 is ok. 443 is ok if you are hosting a page...
