BOOMer,
This is an excellent question, and it was both professional and kind of you to ask it. The decided focus of the Forum is to and from Professional users of the client software, and XP Home by design seemed to rule that interest out of the Forum scope.
My advice would be to ask the question, as it likely has applicability well beyound the XP version involved.
Any interesting issue related to Windows XP is welcome, (my opinion), and if asked in a professional manner should soon find a professional response on this Forum.
And my personal welcome to Tek-Tips.
I suspect that all the Forum Regulars and Irregulars welcome you as well.
Best,
Bill Castner
