They will fix security bugs depending on what they determine risk is and what you are describing isn't a security issue.
If you have an extended hotfix agreement purchased PRIOR to mainstream support ending then you can get hotfixes for things they agree to correct. For instance, if something will costs them hundreds of thousands of dollars to correct and the only person raising the issue is a home user or corporate user in a small company (say less than 30k seats) then it is unlikely it will be corrected.
You can pay for changes (again if Microsoft agrees to do it at all) but you usually don't want to pay for it because it is considerably cheaper to upgrade. The only time I have seen someone actually shell out money for a fix was a Fortune 5 company who paid something in the area of a $100k because they had no other option.

as I understood from their lifecycle policy;they do NOT include new features in a product which has entered in extended support phase,but they fix bugs in the current features.
correct me if I'm wrong.

Can you duplicate in XP or more realistically in Vista? If not, it is extremely unlikely it will get corrected as mainstream support for Windows 2000 ended last year. I think the only way you could possibly get that in and corrected is if you were willing to pay for all of the work out of your pocket which honestly isn't worth it.

when U install service pack 4 on a fresh windows 2000 gold installation,some utilities are installed along with service pack,such as "gpresult.exe" .
when u slipstream service pack 4 on that CD and install windows from that slipstreamed CD,those utilities are NOT installed.the same thing happens when U create a flat RIS image from that slipstreamed CD;non of the installed clients have "gpresult.exe" .
I know that originally gpresult.exe used to be one of Resource kit utilities;but with SP4,it is shipped with it;and so it is logical that it would be installed regardless of the way you install SP4.but as I said before,slipstreamed sources does NOT install it.maybe there is something like "install file-list" that is old and needs to be updated.
