Are there any of you who run this under Win2K? Have you modified your CONFIG.NT file and can you pass your mods to this file to me???

Getting ready for a new HDD (7200 20GB) and want to load Win2k.

Thanks,

I found some files from a guy in Finland, but I don't think you want them; he loads things like COUNTRY.SYS which you probably won't need. Anyway, in Win NT and 2000 I believe the key is the AUTOEXEC.NT file, rather than CONFIG.NT. You should open the AUTOEXEC.NT file, and REM out the lines:
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

(The reason is, you don't need network redirecting or protected-mode DOS. I think that removing DOSX is the most important thing--it uses almost 38K)

Then, save the result as AUTOEXEC.PW, and set the properties of PAC.EXE to use the new file.

Good hunting!

Ahhh....

You'd think an MCSE would know that. I work with this product everyday and it eluded me. Proof my brain gets mushy.

After a week I've had, its no wonder...

Thanks for the suggestion

Capt. Harlock you were probably refering to my files. I use english version of Windows XP and it doesn't seem to create any probblems. But you are right it's probably safer to just REM out the lines you mentioned. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I changed the files with REM'ed ones. The instructions are in http://www.netikka.net/veli-matti.makela/PacXP.htm <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
