An Inside Look at Group Policy in Windows Vista
Vista will bring some important changes to how Windows
handles Group

administrators. Mitch

you a look at how they
impact day-to-day administration of a Windows network.

*** Top Five Windows and .NET Articles Last Week ***

1. Run Mac OS X on a PC
You can get the best of both worlds--you can run the real
Mac OS X on your
own PC. Wei-Meng Lee shows you how to run the Mac operating
system on an
emulator called PearPC.

2. Windows Server Hacks: Remotely Enable Remote Desktop
What to do when you need to enable Remote Desktop on a
remote server?
Mitch Tulloch, author of Windows Server Hacks, walks you
through the
steps.

3. Getting Your Bluetooth Headset to Work in XP
With Bluetooth support built into SP2, getting a Bluetooth
headset to work
should be a breeze. But it ain't necessarily so. Wei-Meng
Lee shows you
how to do it.

4. Enhancing ASP.NET Pages with JavaScript
A sprinkling of JavaScript code can enhance the reach and
responsiveness
of your ASP.NET web pages without sacrificing ASP.NET's
secure,
server-based model for your coding. Matthew MacDonald,
coauthor of ASP.NET
in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition, shows you how to use JavaScript
in an ASP.NET
web page to perform three common tasks: showing a pop-up
window, changing
control focus, and handling frame navigation. You can use
these tricks to
quickly solve problems that have no native .NET solution.

spnet.html>

5. ASP.NET File Uploading
File upload and download are much simpler tasks in ASP.NET
than in classic
ASP, thanks to the extensive .NET Framework class library.
While file
upload in ASP.NET is as easy as retrieving an HTML form
value, file
download is still a bit tricky.
