Nope, just a matter of patience, research, and experience. And the belief that sometimes computers crash if they are not rebooted occassionally. If you have the patience, you'll get the experience - and researching a problem helps. This isn't much different from *nix in that sense.... But, with Windows, you have to remember that the fancy interfaces "hide the hard stuff" for you, so you don't need to know what file to edit to make a change - just run the interface and click in the right spots. Of course, you have to trust the interface is doing things right. Windows users have been conditioned to think that rebooting is OK, and that rebuilding a workstation every year or so is normal. Part of the "blame" falls to the OS that promotes this, and part to the consultants/hobbiest/next door neighbor, who don't know about or don't promote an alternative. (I'm guilty of that in my earlier days with computers - all of two years ago..., but I've seen the light.. <grins>) My thoughts...
