Hi guys, That link did not work for me.Bcaster, your information has put me on the right track. A couple of thoughts: Can I simply copy the gpt.ini file to the other nine computers? or do I need to do make the same configurations at each computer? What is the best way to back up my registry...

Hi, I have 10 xp workstations that I want to lock down. I have used a program called win tweaks to create a reg file with all my changes. These changes disable the desktop, control panel, task manager and so on. When I run the reg file on a computer it says that some of the changes cannot be...

Joamon, Your advice was spot on. I borrowed my brothers laptop and it connected without any bother at all. I then downloaded and ran spybot on my computers and it worked immediately after restarting. Must have been some nasty bug hiding somewhere. Cheers Mick

hi, I was very chuffed with myself when I installed and terminated 15 data points into a patch panel. They all tested ok first time as well. Originally there was only one double point in the room so I disconnected one of them and used that cable for the backbone link to the main cab.However...
