Signing into Windows Live Mail, when a simple jpg/gif logo is placed in the upper left corner and saved as a Stationery, during compose it's necessary to enter key several lines down below the text to avoid overwrite of the script. Also, some users receive the email with the overwrite of script on top of logo. Any guesses how to cement the logo in place above text?

We have a self built application which we use to administer our work related documents, which stores all information into a specific folder and sub folders as required. Of late we are having problems where a number of users are accessing the folder outside of this program and accidentally moving folders they shouldn't be (and then not owning up and leaving us to find out later). How can I monitor these folders and record who is moving them and where they move them to?

Been working with server and AD for awhile, but some of these options I have never done and its got me confused. Hope someone can help. 1. When performing an unattended install, you just run the Setupmgr.exe and answer the questions as an Unattended install. I have done this for Sysprep when ghosting clients. Then changed the answer file to "winnt.sif" and copy it to a floppy. Put the Cd and floppy into the server and then hit space bar when prompted to boot from CD. Sound correct? 2. When slipstreaming SP2 into a distribution share install the book says …
