8/13    Is there a security patch against the Blaster Worm for NT Workstation?
        All I see on the MS web site are patches for NT Server, NT TSE, and
        versions of 2k / XP / Server 2003, but not NT Workstation.  Thanks.
        \_ yes, just delete winnt/system32/msblaster.exe
           \_ I don't think it's that easy, since that program
              was constantly being called upon by some key in

1/8     I'm really tempted to buy a powerbook.  The design and the OS is
        what I like.  But I'm worried about the small things.  I know that
        there's MS office, so no problem there.  But what about:
        1. sharing info on floppy with a PC?
           \_ get a USB disk drive.
        2. ability to use network printers with winNT print servers?

9/18    Are there programs which can auto-detect soundcard make and model, and
        hence, what driver one needs, in WinNT? This is standard in Win98 but
        I haven't found anything that does this for NT.
        \_ Don't use NT. Use 2k. Not only is it vastly better in stability, it
           does novel things like HW autodetection and USB. There really is
           no point to using NT now, unless you like pain. - ajani

2/22    Come on.  How hard could it be for some X savy Gnome lover out there
        to script up a "minimize all"?  It was the best think about windows
        98 and after 3 years i can't find it for my linux box (i've searched
        a little but not a huge amount so point the way if i just missed it).

1/2     While asking Windows question , on NT my drive C has very low space
        left, but I have a drive D with much more space.  How do I instruct
        Windows to install system files (especially those winupdates) onto
        the D drive?
        \_ you can't.  What goes in winnt\system32 goes in winnt\system32.
        \_ You can tell winnt to use the D drive for swap instead of C,

4/18    winNT question:  everytime my NT stations boots up it sets up the
        local hard drives as shareable.  I have to manually set each drive
        as not shared.  Where can I set this so that I don't have to do that
        everytime I reboot the box? Thanks.
        \_ Delete the shares.

4/12    Is there a way to make NT run a certain .BAT file everytime it boots?
        \_ yeah, what ever happened to autoexec.bat in NT?  I think it is still
           there right?
        \_ You can make your changes in autoexec.nt and config.nt located in
           c:\winnt\system32.
           \_ I think not.  From CONFIG.NT:

2/17    How come when I install WinNT on a brand new machine, it says it can't
        format a 5GB partition using NTFS?  I thought NTFS can be very large.
        Thx.  -- yuen
        \_ On NT4, the installer doesn't know how to format NTFS.  It knows
           how to format FAT16.  FAT16 is limited to 4 GB.  If you select
           NTFS during install it actually formats FAT16, copies some

        New Question (Sometimes i think i take advantage of the motd;

2/8     In WinNT, what's the difference between cmd.exe and http://command.com?  Thx.
        \_ cmd.exe is a Win32 program and supports minimal extended features;
           do a cmd /? for more info. I believe http://command.com in NT is a DOS
           program. -slow

1/20    Does anyone know what service binds to port 135 on WinNT? -Quoc
        \_ One of the netbios wins name thingies.

           it does anything kewl like crash the machine, otherwise don't
           worry about it.  -John
