I am looking to not have to re-install programs, drivers, loose files, etc but would like to be able to try out another release of Windows Vista beta. Also I am an MSDN subscriber so I have ready access to the betas.

I work on a common computer and there are no individual profiles on it. I want to have a folder which would be password protected inorder to avoid unauthorized access to that folder.
Earlier i tried hiding the folders through properties but other people using the computer are unhiding it and accessing the data.

I’m running World Community Grid software on a Windows XP SP2 system. The program downloads a work unit, then processes it for a varying time period, usually several hours, then needs to connect to server to upload results and download a new work unit. It needs to call up dialup networking to do so. It does this with no problem in Windows 98SE, but not in XP.

When I start IE on my XP system, it calls up dialup networking, dials and connects as it should, so I know my connection is correctly configured. Can anybody help with this?
I tried running in different compatibility modes – it wouldn’t run at all in 95 or 98 mode- got a missing dll error. Ran OK in 2000 mode, but had original problem, not calling up dailup networking. Any other suggestions?

I’ve got a new Thinkpad notebook with PC Dos OS installed. I’ve upgraded it by installing a genuine Windows XP Pro OS. Everything works fine except for the blue “Access IBM” button. I’ve read the manual but it doesn’t mention anything about the problem. Anybody there knows why? Help!
