Help with FTP

peterro

I want to try and set up a FTP on my computer. I'm running w2k pro at the moment, but also got w2k server, and was thinking about using IIS to set it all up. Just wanted to ask if there is anything particular I should think about.

IIS password protect documents

Durt

I want all html documents in a folder to be password protected. In other words, IE and Netsape users must enter a username/password to access any document placed in this directory. I managed to get it work by making the directory only viewable by one user account, but the username/password only worked for IE users.

Poor Performance in my WinXP RC2

iks

Hello there. . . I am encountering bad performance in my WindowsXP RC2. Is is 'normal' or not? I mean: Logon screen images fades and moves very slov (like framerate=5) Mouse cursor stops from time to time If simple task is run, performance monitor shows high rates - CPU usage (Kernel Times) is very high.

Save and Open Dialog Boxes

miku

Hi Guys, I am on RC1 and noticed very strange things. The save and open dialog boxes show their title with squares boxes. The tile should be save. . . but it is very awkward to see that. I also noticed this in Windows 2000.

Default Sound

Stryfe

I've had this problem when I was running 2k pro, but the only way I could solve it was to format and re-install. I have a SB PCI128. I was running RC1 and one day my default sound from the sound icon in the system tray, plays through my PC speaker only.
