Boot problems

stedolan
Hi, I have used a Windows XP image on a computer that has a slightly different configuration from the machine I originally ghosted. Now normally using 98 or ME the new hardware would auto detect during the first boot up, but for some reason XP refuses to boot and just resets itself when you try to enter safe mode.

XP Pro firewall......is it worth using?

SnapperOne
Just bought a new P4 SOHO PC as a replacement for a P3-400 in a 2-PC LAN. Since I have to reload all my apps anyway, decided it was a good time to jump into WinXP-Pro to see what it's all about. The other PC on the LAN will remain a Win2K machine until we're comfortable with XP.

Deleting local profiles

stedolan
Hi again, can anyone tell whether it's possible to prevent windows xp from creating local profiles when a new user logs-in. Some of them are reaching sizes up to 50MB and are starting to cause problems with hard disk space.

Default cursor

stedolan
Can anyone tell me whether it's possible to prevent users from changing the mouse cursor on XP workstations? It would be ideal if I could do this through Group policy. .

How to update Win2k's 'repair' folder?

Curley_Boy
When you use the repair option from the Win2k installation CD the installer restores your settings from the 'c:\winnt\repair' folder. Trouble is that this will restore your registry and security policy settings to installation defaults (envisage days of you setting up all of your software and tweaks again.

Hi everyone! I'm new 'round here, and chances are that my question will sound a bit simple to the long-time and experienced users, but I didn't find anything about this subject, not even on the MS site.
