1.0 allows lots of nice things including allowing home users to login to domains - hence they pulled it ...

sysedit is there somewhere (who said dos was dead,,)
also create a shortcut to cmd
and \i386\winnt32 /cmdcons - hand back door to boot into command prompt

regedit / regedt32 - handle with care..
eg: winXp can do routing with a reghack
NT4 had a tick box to do this - now you are supposed to buy a server..

Sysedit is nothing special though, you can access all the files it accesses through windows explorer like.

Anything there to optimise networking ?
