Winroute Pro

Anything
I have always used winroute PRO as a firewall, and to share the net at home. But, as soon as winroute tries to startup (when xp is starting up), im presented with a lovely blue screen. I am NOT going to use the windows firewall/net sharing functions, as its fuctionality is: Firewall, nothing more.

Automatic logouts ?

philbarnes
Is there a way to automatically log you out or lock the computer after a set period of time as I always wander off when I am using my computer. As I am now running XP, I thought there might be a way to make it go to the change user screen after say 10 mins of inactivity ? Any ideas ?.

Removing hidden programs

felix
Well this is the updated version of the Win2k question. Remember how you could delete hidden stuff by removing hide and hidden from c:\winnt\inf\sysoc. inf? Well how do I do the same thing within XP as I wanna blow Outlook Express and accessability away.

font install problem

cre3d
Ok, this is pissing me off, hopefully someone can figure it out. I'm trying to install the helvetica font on my winxp (devilsown release) system and it keeps telling me the font is corrupted. It works fine on every other system i've tried (win98, me, win2k).
