New XP = eXtra Pointless?
Sure they had to rearrange the whole layout so they could charge more for MCSE training. I bet they changed the API calls as well? Got to charge more for MCSD training. Not to mention the User Training, but Gateway and Compaq/HP can take care of that. ;)

Picking up the pieces of my broken life.
New Went back today to finish the job - big problem.
What a piece of crap - clumsy as hell - and something keeps trying to dial the Internet, and stuff blows up and every time it blows up XP tries to send debug data to Microsoft. Like they're going to look at it. Or maybe they pass it on to the Tooth Fairy.

Got most everything working - BUT - it can't see their big Lanier copier / printer (their main printer). Every other workstation sees the Lanier, but XP is blind to it.

Incidentally, it automatically sets up icons for every share it finds on the network, printers, disks, directory, whether or not you want them visable on your system.

New The Browser Fairy
I think Microsoft has a Browser Fairy working for them to collect browser debug information? For every error report you send, you get a free BSOD and system crash, not to mention an icon for each network share! :)

Can you at least remove those extra icons from your desk?

It seems like IE 6.0 and 5.5 have this "debug" feature built in as well. It is not just an XP thing. I think it might be able to be uninstalled, maybe 98-Lite?

Picking up the pieces of my broken life.
New Sure you can remove them, but . .
Next time you open Printers or Network places, they're back.
