Remote Desktops 2003 Add-in: Prevent printer Mapping??

Denver_80203
The RDP client software that comes with XP, etc allows you to prevent printer mapping on the machine you're remotely connected to (normally it maps your local printers to that machine). I can't find any such option in the 2003 Resource Kit MMC Snap-in, nor can I find a group policy option to stop this from happening.

Windows XP styles

FatalError
I've been using Windows XP for a while now but I'm getting increasingly tired of the default Windows XP Style. I am aware that Microsoft offers Silver and Olive Green as alternatives to the blue, but both of them just don't cut it for me.

Slow file copy over network

I have XP Pro and a WIN 2000 server on my home network. (there is one other machine as well). In the past, when I copied a file from my XP machine to the server, the copy time was very fast. Lately, I have noticed that it has slowed on the order of 100 to 200 times or more.

Truly multilingual environment?

Auskalo
Does anyone use more than one or two languages on WinXP? Well, I'm having trouble with a feature that seems to have improved Windows functionality on a global environment. Or maybe I am wrong. So, please help me if that's the case.
