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

XP Pro is loaded on a computer my wife uses, and I try to avoid her computer at
all costs.  On the other hand she's never run or even heard of gpedit.msc.

It wasn't compusa it was best buy, and complaining about your company's
monopoly pricing isn't whining, just recognizing the facts.  If your only point
here is to demonstrate just how far downhill Microsoft has gone over the years,
well you continue to perform admirably.  If you don't have anything to add to
the discussion that's content driven why don't you just STFU.  If your employer
feels violated by anything I've written then have your general counsel email me
a demand letter.  Otherwise, the old format command is looking better and
better.

   If you have a valid Windows XP Professional license you should install
Windows XP Professional.  I'm surprised you say this after your earlier message
whining about the price compusa quoted you.

  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.

     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?
