Ärende: Re: New Laptop And XP Questions
=======================================
From: "Gary Britt" <email@from_Gary_Britt.org>

Yes it would be if I thought it was breaking the law.  I have valid licenses
for XP Home and XP Pro.  Don't you have anything better to do than worry about
someone trying to have a workable recovery console on XP Home.  If a user
attempts to have a safer environment from which to run your products that's a
problem for you and your company?  If your so worried about someone running
gpedit.msc on XP Home so they can turn on the set commands in the recovery
console, you could just provide the proper value to set for the one or two
appropriate keys in the registry.

As for your other question, XP Home is what came with the laptop, and except
for a couple of things its good enough for now.  I have never used XP on one of
my computers.  I'm looking at it while considering how to handle moving my
licensed full retail copy of win2k over from my old laptop.  Your helpful
interjection into this thread certainly makes me want to invest the time
learning to use your current OS versus just staying with Win2K or going to
Linux and running my Office 2K Apps under Linux.

OH and thanks for answering my questions and trying to improve your company's
image with its customers.  You're doing a great job.

Gary

   Isn't it unwise for a lawyer to discuss his breaking the law in a public
forum?

   If you want Windows XP Professional why didn't you buy Windows XP
Professional?

  I think I've figured out how to hack the registry to get the set command
  turned on in the recovery console so I can access everything when in the
  recovery console.  I've found reference to a technique of bringing over
two
  files from an XP Pro machine and registering them with regsvr32 that
  supposedly allows the gpedit.msc console to run on XP Home.  Anybody done
  this before?
