Thanks for your kind advice, Giuseppe. But frankly, do you really
believe everyone has a Windows 2003 server at home? Read carefully
first. I was not *only* talking about W2K server but *also* about W2K
Pro. XP's just a few reboots less.

And read my response to Scott Harding. Probably you'll get an idea.

I've had the chance to make my studies when computers started to spread
all over the market. Since the I've studied and worked with DOS, Windows
3.1, 95, 98, NT4, 2000 and XP.

Now I'm 35 and fed up. If you can't understand this, there's nothing I
can do for you.
