Is it possible to download the MSC tools? I figured home premium was
comparable to XP Pro. I just thought ultimate was just overkill, and
not needed.

Anthony

No, the MSC components are not downloadable. You can still perform most of
the functions the MSC components have, but in the Home versions you do this
with direct edits to the registry.

The upgrade from XP Pro to Vista needs to be to the Business or Ultimate
versions to get the same tools and options.

Well, Go to the start menu, and in the search box type: netplwiz and click
the icon that pulls up. Hit advanced, and hit the check box that says:
require users to press CTRL + ALT + DEL, then press ok.

One thing to remember is that the CTRL+ALT+DEL prompt at logon behaves
differently in Vista.
