Taskbar & start menu hidden in XP and can't activate

videobruce
Running XP, the taskbar and start meun are hidden as the autohide is checked, but isn't. Just by moving the cursor to the lower part of the destop doesn't make it scroll up as it should. I tried the end task and new task in Task Manager for Explorer trick that works in 2k, but it didn't here.

NTSwitch & Windows Server 2003

altered_computers
Has anybody tried this with RTM Win2k3? I remember that you could change XP Pro to Whister Server but it had a bad memory leak. I don't have a copy of 2003 to play with, but I assume anything that NTSwitch changes still works.

NT 4 PDC. I want a 2000 BDC for it Possible??? How?

duhmez
I currently have no BDC but I do have a 2000 standalone. I ran dcpromo but it seems to only work if there is AD on the network. How can I make it a BDC emulator for my NT 4 domain? I want my SAm backed up, and I want logon fault tolerance, and I do not want to upgrade the NT 4 BDC yet.

Adding drivers to the Win2k boot disks?

DazedAndConfused
Is it possible to add drivers to the Win2k boot disks? Is it possible to even add disks? Mostly it would just be nice to add promise chipset support so I don't have to do that annoying F6, and track down the proper driver disk.
