Windows 2000 lets me change from dynamic to static IP addressing without rebooting my workstation. Our laptop users need to make this change because some of our subnets use static IP, others use DHCP. Is executing the change from within a script possible?Windows 2000 lets me change from dynamic to static IP addressing without rebooting my workstation.

Whenever I connect to a client PC running Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2), my personal files appear in the client PC's Internet Explorer (IE) history folder and Temporary Internet Files folder. Do you know what's going on?

I need a comprehensive reference guide to the Windows 2000 and Windows NT registries. I particularly need information about essential registry values, including each value's purpose and data value ranges. Do you know if such a reference exists?

I run WinGate proxy on Windows NT Server 4.0 with Pervasive.SQL 2000. The workstations run Winsock 2.x on Windows 95. I can't connect using TCP/IP and WinGate. With NWLink, the server name never resolves. HOSTS and LMHOSTS don't work. Any ideas?

Microsoft Office 2000 doesn't completely remove itself during the uninstallation process. To thoroughly remove Office 97 from my system, I had a list of registry entries and files that I needed to manually delete. Is there a list for Office 2000?

Active Directory

Somebody told me that a tool in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit lets you view and modify the Active Directory (AD) schema. However, I can't find any information about where to find the tool or how to use it. Can you help?
