Hello, I Know that there probely is not, but is there a way to add a XP HOME computer to a windows domain. NOT just to open the shared folders and printers (like a workgroup)But to have it probley part like an XP pro, which use accounts of the server. Maby a program that can be downloaded from the net, or to add files, regedit from a XP PRO. Thanks

No this not what i am looking for, it will just allow me to access shared folders and printers form the server, which XP HOME can do anyway. I was looking for a way to make it a full Domain Client. Thanks for that idea anyway.
- One idea i did think of is to use a VPN connection i don't know if that would work? And if it did how would i do it?
