okay Gordon, when I go to your link it is all about NT! I do not have NT I
have Windows XP Just like Manny wrote...your advice would screw me it looks
like? you need to be more specific when responding to a question that we need
answers to if you want to help. It is appreciated but mis-guided.

Yes but what else does it do to your computer.Me personally like to
be in charge of changes made to my computer.
Actually - the one linked - it pretty much does one thing to one user (or
more if you wish to, buy running the commands over and over.)
From experience - I can have it booted and be back in the Windows XP loading
from the hard disk drive before BartPE has finished booting. ;-)
