XP is no saint. How do you kill that damn msg srvc thingie. Grrrr! I've
tried everything. Delete the file, delete the whole damn directory, etc,
but no matter what I do, next hard boot and it's all back like it never
left. M$ dirtbags have init files that rewrite all that crap. That's what
I hate about Micorsoft. I'm not in contol. The damn software does what
Bill's Boys want, not what I want. Who would want their computer to do
that? As for useabilty, Window hasn't done anything new since NT4 except
add bloat.
