By removing Security Update KB2536276 and rebooting you can enable your client again - or you patch your samba server, which is the real source of error - Microsoft did just fix an flaw.

[WinXP] Windows 7 Taskbar Tool

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 07:36:05 +0000

Some of us still work on Windows XP.
I myself still prefer to have my P4 3 GhZ Single Core at work to run with the “old” Windows, because of Ressources and the good feeling to have an proven system installed. The only thing that I find really annoying is the taskbar: I really love the feature of Windows 7 to reorder taskbar entries without restarting applications.
And thats something Windows XP can do as well with Taskbar++

Windows 2000 / XP Password Special

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 09:37:03 +0000

So, you logged out of Windows and need to get your password back? Thats for what this little collection is for.

Lets say you need to “crack” an Windows 2000 / XP Password. For i.e. login data. Then you should go for Ophcrack: http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/

If you just want to login into Windows 2000 / XP / Linux etc. without using or cracking the password with admin rights, go for konboot: http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/
