Getting Liveware 3.0 to work with XP!

MINz

You can install Liveware 3. 0 for Windows 2000 on XP. The only catch is you need to replace the DEVLDR32. EXE with the version that comes on your copy of XP (i386/drivers. cab). Expand the cab and find DEVLDR32.

SMTP Server Windows 2000

lawson23

I'm having a problem reconfiguring my SMTP server in Win2k Pro. I want this to just be setup for my local machine to use, 127. 0. 0. 1. I had it working and forgot how I did it after new install. I had a excellent article on it but lost it and can't get it to work.

All Users var question

clutch

I know that %allusersprofile% will dump me into “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users”, but that doesn’t work for NT4. I am trying to find the var (if it exists) that is the same between NT4 and W2K so I can copy files to “All Users\Start Menu\Program Files”.

NSA doc on securing IIS5

Just thought I would pass this along, but I got an email from about this tricky little doc from the NSA regarding IIS5. Bear in mind that a previously released version was only a draft copy, and that this one is the release version.
