My friend recently got a computer from his work. It was set up on a domain network as a workstation. He got this computer, but was also layed off a few days after he got this computer, so he couldn't find the password from the network admins at his job. That is where I came in. I found the password, thanks to DreamPackPL (Maniacle Laughter) and he also wants me to try and turn this computer into a regular home computer. What steps can I take to remove the "Hit Ctrl, Alt, Delete" promt, allow the computer to work on a home LAN, and other things as well. Any ideas? Thanks!

First of all, removing to hit CTRL+ALT+DEL woun't have any effect.
You have to configure the computer to be a member of a workgroup insteed of member of a domain.

Please send a reply, if you solved the problem !!!

And you can do that only if you know the default Administrator password.

I'd reload it and start from stratch.

If it has Win 2K, then why did you input Windows XP as the OS?
