Re: 2 beginner questions

Thanks for your help. There are gads of apps on the local installation.

To work only using the domain logon, would it be wise to... (1) Uninstall
all local app installations and delete the local non-administrator accounts,
(2) ignore all the local stuff forever, (3) just do a clean xp install?

I am working under the assumption that all apps (even non-server apps) can
be installed through the server one way or another.
