Re[2]: OT: Win98 or Win XP / F2 = SEND
DARN, I thought I turned that F2 = SEND key off... !!! This happened to me a lot that I would accidentally hit the F2 key and the message would be send and gone in an instant before I finished it... I thought I turned this off but perhaps the setting is per account or something? What's the best way to make this just go away? As a recommendation I would suggest to switch the default function for F2 and Alt-F2 Accidentally checking mail by accident is no biggie, but accidentally sending an e-mail could be VERY serious. Of course it's less likely to accidentally hit a key combination (Alt/Ctrl-Function-key) than just the function key. Anyway, as I was saying: NA Can you not take XP Pro and design it such that all the fancy/cartoony NA stuff is gone set up your Networks such that most of the security NA holes are patched, etc? I understand that MS will not be supporting Win 2K NA for very much longer, so I'm curious if XP Pro can be just as secure and NA stable as Win 2K if you know what you are doing. Probably; in my case another problem could be that I still have to use Office 2000 for which I have a license, instead of Office XP. I also think MS should support Win 2K for a LOT longer. Big companies just don't change the OS software of thousands of PC's every two years.
