The XP version seems pretty stable. For that matter, the only thing I ever found that broke the 98 version was a Microsoft security update.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well, the thing that it broke was the tweak that lets you use autologon, so it theoretically improved my security, too.

Fair enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
TweakUI doesn't let you move the whole thing either, and the instructions given by Microsoft fail on the stoopid copy.

Excellent! I think the copy was failing on the folders those instructions say to leave out -- apparently they will be recreated anyway. Let me try later.

iPod enthusiasts:
I bought my Lovely Wife (tm) an iPod from a guy I work with yesterday. When I look at it in iTunes, it shows only 15 GB free, even tho it's a 40 GB model. 20+ GB missing. I haven't been able to check with the guy I work with yet, but my assumption is that he did not unload what he had on there. Is there a way for ME to just kill those files without taking it back to him to have him remove them? I don't want to see or listen to them, cause, well, he listens to shitty music, I just want the space back.
