Hi Bruce
Thanks for the link. In my company the upper management has WinXP-Pro
and all others (programmers) have WinXP. Is there any reason why so?

On a programmer's machine right-click on My Computer and select
Properties. That will show you the detailed Edition information for
the installed Windows XP.

Note that since Service Pack 2 all computers running Windows XP use
the same generic "Windows XP" initial startup screen. If you see a
computer that starts up showing "Windows XP Professional" on the
opening screen that indicates that it has not yet been upgraded to
Service Pack 2.

Hope this explains the situation.

Good luck
