Actually the GUI of 2k is closest to 98 Se but yes there are differences,
like user directories for the settings of each - and if you log onto the
local computer, say it's named WS003, as say username Stacey, you'd have a
sub folder named Stacey. Then if you login the to domain, say COMPANY.COM,
as Stacey, there is another folder named stacey.company.com (or stacey.local
if it's not on the internet) - some takes getting used to - some is better,
other is just fluff and could be done away with. In business the separated
user folders work out nicely for machines that people on different shifts
use, to keep them from F'in with other's work and settings. Also the
inability to run installations for certain users has made things nicer for
system administrators, whether they run a bunch ona network or a bunch of
stand alone machines., or a mix. I have customers that want certain areas
off of the network completely for seccurity or other reasons so they are
nic-less and I have to upgrade them at the local computer admin level, one
at a time.

-> Hi all,
->
-> I just got a new job and my computer at work has Win2000 installed. I'm
-> having trouble remembering where the files are, so I'm searching the
-> system. Every term I search for I'm told doesn't exist.
->
-> We have outlook installed. I know I have at least 1 .pst file. I search
-> for *.pst. It says there is nothing to list. I know there are files with
-> the word fax, cos every coversheet is saved as customerx_fax.doc, it
-> tells me nothing to list.
->
-> Is there anything about the search function in W2k I should know? I
-> found something that turns on indexing. It changed nothing.
->
-> I'm accustomed to Win9.x. I've never really needed to work with NT, 2k
-> or XP, which are organized differently than the 9.x flavors. Any simple,
-> beginner's type "words to the wise" about 2k would be appreciated. It
-> will take me months to get this office running smoothly before I have
-> time to pick up a book about w2k.
->
-> Hope everyone is well,
