Personally, I think they should have put tabs into all the office applications, rather than it opening a new window everytime a new document is opened...they'll learn someday. Also, I hear the next major release of IE is going to contain tab support. I had hoped it would be in SP2 but alas. At least they added a popup/download blocker. But don't get me started on what a waste of resources the new security center is...thank god for services.msc

do you know how to disable the security center/firewall checking crap in the system trap. it keeps warning me that i'm not firewalled when i vpn into work. of course not... i only have an internal ip... get over it.

What you could try is specifying which ports to let through the firewall and actually using that accursed mess. I'd be more specific but that would require being somewhere that actually allowed SP2...

hehe, they blocked SP2? i heard a lot of universities were having trouble with the traffic. they should just put it on a shared drive and allow students to install from there. i got it for the supposed security updates. *shrug*

MyIE2 had tabs... but other than that it was realy bad *wrinkles nose*

Start->Run services.msc
Right-click Security Center and select Properties
Click Stop
Change Startup type to Disabled

That only turns off the Security Center so it stops nagging you. Turning off the Firewall is in the properties of your connection under the Advanced Tab.

thanks kevin... the firewall is off on purpose, which is why it bugs me. it didn't even occur to me that XP had a services control panel like NT did.

Actually, they aren't blocking it. They're just afraid of lUsers attempting to use it and messing up Novell Client/Border Manager. We don't want to deal with the calls complaining that the network is slow and that we should fix it right at this very moment. Myself and my roommates all run it, but we know which port Client Trust uses to authenticate.

Novell + anything = nightmare

i can't believe theyre still using NovHell. why?

Because otherwise they'd have to fire Kelly and Brano. While Kelly has always come off cold to me, Brano attends LAN parties and birthdays with everyone, and is generally a cool guy. But other than that...yeah novell was a good idea when windows was as secure as the underwear of a pornstar. Now it's rather bloated and pointless.

Don't forget Stanton... he'd have to be let go as well, and I'd cry if they ever did that. That and I'd quit before the Desk went back to being the pile of shit it used to be.

Now now... Novell isn't all bad. I love ZENworks. It allows me to do incredible amounts of damage to every computer in the building very, very easily.

Or, put another way, I can distribute apps and registry settings with complete ease. It's a beautiful thing.

That said: I hate BM. When I want networking geekery, I turn to LInux. (Hello, Squid/Dante!)
