Question about XP SP1a

Admiral LSD
Whats the easiest way to tell whether an XP system is running Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 1a if both still have the MS JVM installed? The System Properties still say Service Pack 1 and the System Information tool shows both the SP1 machine and the SP1a machine as having the same version of XP.

TCP IP based printing in Win 9X - NT 4

str8eiht
There is a fantastic feature in Windows 2000 where u can set an IP on a jet direct box on a HP Printer and then print directly to it without the need to create a queue on Netware or NT Server, which we use here in the University to manager our printing needs.

Programs running in the background

SnapperOne
I have a friend, running Win98, who apparently has a program running in the background that is preventing him from running Scan Disk. Since I migrated to 2KPro some time ago, I can't remember how to uncover all the system function and programs that might be running in the background of Win98 machines.

It is known that the single line of <input type crash> would crash IE, and this is due to a syntax error induce bug in IE. Try inculding the <body> tag into the page, such as: <html><body><input type crash size=20></body></html> The problem apparently gone.

ViolentGreen
Give me a Linux box and I can set up a network. . . . windowsXP is a different matter. Is there a way to give user based access to different directories between XP Home and XP Pro? I know I cannot use domains with home so that option is out.
