Hi all,

I seem to remember that WinXP Home had some functionality of the Pro version
disabled (especially networking) which could be re-enabled with a hack.

Does anyone remember the source of my recollection?

Thanks

Markus

It doesn't have a domain logon

" it is possible to get on a domain using the Home Edition. This can be
accomplished with the free and widely-available Xteq X-Setup 6.1 by
navigating to the 'Network \ Auto Login \ Windows NT/2K/XP \ Settings'
option. Simply enter the appropriate information and click the 'Apply
Changes' button. On next reboot, you can then join domains with Windows XP
Home Edition. Problem solved." It was noted that the latest version of
TweakUI could also do the trick, but seeing as Microsoft has temporarily
suspended the download (to "fix" the oversight), X-Setup is a more viable,
short and long- term option."

You can't join 'em to a domain? - and must operate 'em in workgroup mode
only?

Sorry, don't know about any hacks for that.
