RE: [PCTECH] Anyone Running XP Home Edition ?

["Bob Crothers" <bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doug,

Agree with you about the "Hide Extensions for known file types"
option.  I hate that one.  And, it is why the "I Love You" virus
was SOOO sucessful.

I'm not a Windows basher and actualy like it...at least till
something better comes along.  But It does tick me off that they
have to move admin and config stuff between versions just for the
"heck of it".

Bob
