    and it has spent every day since then slowly changing things back =
when you
    aren't looking...

    Latest change I found, if you go into my network places properties =
and
    disable wireless on a laptop, when you re-enable it the hardware is =
turned
    off, what the heck is that all about? On W2K I can just =
enable/disable at
    will and one undoes the other but with XP to enable it again I have =
to first
    enable then go find the stupid hardware setting and change the radio =
back to
    ON..
