Just bought an HP laptop (P4 3.0ghz, 512mb, 64m ATI Radeon 9000, 60gb HD, CD-RW, 802.11g) for 735 GBP. Finally found an amazing bargain, so had to go for it.
(been staying away from Laptops until they could compete somewhat fairly with my Desktop.)
I've been using Win2k forever on my Desktops but my laptop will have XP installed, with apparently the SP2 being installed by their staff as we speak (well, as I write this), so just a quick question or two for all you XP users who have ventured into SP2:
1. In Win2K everything is configurable and its nice to get under the hood, do I have the same ability in XP?
2. Where would I turn off my firewall in XP? Or configure everything?
3. Do I need to download an admin pack for that kind of access and control?
Pre-thanks guys.
P.S. This is the first place I go to for computer aide now, its always been amazingly helpful, so kudos!!! <grin>
