IT SURVIVAL KIT
Practice makes perfect
This past April, Microsoft and practice test provider MeasureUp rolled out free skills assessments on four major Windows Server 2003 related exam areas.

ASK ROBERTA BRAGG
Removing startup programs entirely in WinXP
Dear Roberta:
In a previous Ask the Expert question, I noted that MSCONFIG in Windows XP lists programs to start at bootup on the startup tab, and I asked how I remove items entirely (not just uncheck them) from the startup tab? There are more items shown in the Startup tab of MSCONFIG than are shown in the registry key. How can I eliminate the others that are not listed in the RUN registry key?

THE MISSING LINK
Attack of the charged particles

Anything weird happen at work Friday? Any systems go down? See any gremlins running around? Blame the sun. On Friday, Mr. Sol lobbed loads of energy at Earth via a geomagnetic storm. Electrical utilities, airline communications and satellite navigation systems could have been affected, but there haven't been any reports of serious problems. So if something weird happened in the IT department, it's probably the same ol' same ol', not ol' Sol. But go ahead and blame him -- silent scapegoats can't deny anything.
