  1. Turn on all PCs. Disconnect every network drive from Windows Explorer. Put a batch file on startup folder of every PC using NET USE command (use this command to create network drives for you). Do NET USE /HELP to understand how it will work. Example: NET USE Z: \\COMPNAME\SHARENAME You can use /NO or /YES switches too (and others).
  2. REGEDIT: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "Shell Icon BPP"="16"

    Win2K and Win98 not Talking Nice

    On the 'invisible' W2000 machine, share the hard drive with C (not C$).

    Multi-booting

    I'm trying to set a multi-boot system with Windows 2000, Windows 98 SE and Linux Mandrake 7 using 2 HDs. My main HD has W2000, and the slave HD (16GB) has W98 on the begining of the disk, and then the Linux's installation. I use OSLoader (v2.0) to load the W2000 and the W98 without problems, but I cannot make it to run the Linux, and the Lilo does not accept to be installed because the partition that contains the Linux is not included in the limit of 8GB (cylinder 1024). I've heard that I must create a little partition (16-17MB) Linux after the partition of the W98 and mount it as /boot (with the kernel and initialization files? how?), and then install the rest of the sistem through the disk, but I am not having success on doing it during the installation of the Mandrake 7. Could anyone indicate a basic step by step procedure or a How-To that deal with this situation? Thanks in advance.
