I'm fairly sure it is part of the install but I really don't pay much attention to the Windows utilities when I help someone set up a dual boot system, beyond basic configuration of network, start-up etc. Maybe I should but I would rather make the effort to make the mandrake (or ???) install sparkle instead.

Taxes also pay the mental midgets in elected office and the thousands of bureaucrats that work for the "responsible" ministries so what the devil are they doing propagating the MS-VTS? Have they never heard of cheaper, open source, _secure_ systems before? Like so many of that ilk they only care about their little fiefdom, not the "peasants" out here in the real world. I don't think recall elections are used correctly (should involve lynch mobs I think), or often enough in so-called democracies. Get a rope! <g> > Anne It's definitely time for my quarterly "nuisance" letters, e-mails, and calls to MPs (Fed) and MLAs (Provincial) again. This sort of crap is happening here as often as anywhere.
