| Well I'll say C as well then.
But at least that way if you change something on the new profile that is necessary to start the computer you know that you can always go back and use the original. | |

| Tho I've never done this particular thing, the steps taken in 'C' are a pretty standard way of doing everything 
So, c | |

And the answer is.....C
Best practice is not to alter the default profile created during the Windows 2000 Professional installation process. You should make a copy of the default profile and make your modifications to the copy.
After coyping the existing/default profile, you must restart the computer before you can modify the new(copied) profile. If you goal is to modify only services that are enabled or diabled for a particular hardware profile, a restart is not necessary. If the modifications made to the new hardware profile leave the operating system in an unstable state, restart the computer and select the original hardware profile. After Windows 2000 has started using the default profile, navigate to the copied profile and delete it.
Nice job everyone!! |
