Steve, This is something that I've been wanting to do too. Basically, what will happen is that you could give your clients DNS servers called dns1.******, etc. instead of DNS1.*****. It pretty much masks your reseller status. Advantage #1: You appear to stand-alone (no backend servicing agent) Advantage #2: Your domain name (in form of dns servers list) will appear in the whois lookup for all of your clients...may get more business from that. So, Bill...What do Steve and I need to do to get this set up? Then we will need to change DNS servers for all of our existing resold accounts, right? Lianna

...at the very least the technology used within the toaster would be archaic and obsolete within a couple of years and you've have to upgrade. L

While you could use a forwarding service to point that domain to a subdirectory on you account, keep in mind: 1) As per the Terms of Service Agreement, you cannot host multiple domains on your account unless it is a reseller account. 2) If you use forwarding, then the address bar reference will not remain as newdomainname.com, but would rather, revert to the account's domain such as accountdomain.com/newdomain/index.htm L

Could the two of you please drop a helpdesk ticket about this? I don't know the answer, but seems that some snooping needs to be done. Lianna

The problem here is that the akantor mail address is also the akantor user name for the account. We cant change your user name at this point, it would require us to delete your account and reprovision it. L

I killed your dual posts. When you click submit, only single click it. A double click could explain it. Lianna

Open the catalogs folder and delete its FILE contents. Then delete the folder. L

For Favorites, the TweakUI trick definitely did it. I have the Favorites on my external (g:) and just used TweakUI to point to g: on both pc's. Now, if I make a change to my favs or add one in a hurry for future reference, it's there on either pc. .pst is the Outlook personal File Folders extention. I have that one working very well on g:. The problem is that the mail account settings aren't actually saved in that .pst file. Second problem, I don't know where they ARE saved. Searched the registry and only found two of 14. Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6 have an Export feature that will save the mail settings in a file with .iaf extension. I could export the mail accounts on to g: and then import them on the other pc. But, alas, Outlook XP does not appear to have that feature to Export mail account settings. Any way. If anybody has clues, hints, tricks... Lianna

Woohoo! David, you'll end up earning one of those dedicated servers yet. Congrats! L

Found one. IE Favorites in a different location? This article at Novell explains how to do it using TweakUI for Windows. Their concentration was sending it to an iFolder for accessibility. Same dif - portable hard drive. Worked like a champ. L

I don't hate Microsoft, but geesh. I just don't have time in my life to re-learn every release! I, too, am used to just stumbling around until I find what I'm looking for. Under normal work loads, I would be investigating all of the menu options and figuring out what all the neat, cool new stuff does. Thanks everyone for your help. It's greatly appreciated. Since we are so off topic already, it probably won't overload Bill's server for the next question either. (One more, then I promise I'll start answering instead of asking! ) I have a pc at work and a pc at home. I have an external hard drive that I carry from one to the other. I have all of my data on it. All programs are installed on the individual pc's. I have Outlook .pst folder on the portable drive as well...nice. Questions: How can I / can I store my email account settings/info only on the portable for use by whatever pc I happen to be using. (Getting tired of making sure that Outlook on one is looking for the same mail accounts as on any other and having to go through that sync routine manually.) How can I / can i store my favorites only on the portable for use by whatever pc I happen to be using. Both pc's are XP Home OS. Lianna PS: Yes KW, I backup that portable drive VERY regularly.

Get TurboFTP here. Currently listed for $29.95 USD. Yeah, the Folder Synchronization feature looks really great. Thanks for the tip. Lianna

PERFECT! You have to close and reopen Outlook for that setting to take effect, but it's wonderous, I say! Happy-happy-joy-joy! Lianna

Right Andrew. See that was the problem though. MS has gone and moved stuff around again for no good reason (IMO). It used to be under Tools > Options. I delved into every little button and buried feature that there is available in the Options dialogs. NOW, it's buried in Tools > Customize > Options. I think that I had looked in Customize before, but, again, in the old version, Customize was strictly Toolbars. Of course that was the first tab that was presented in the dialog and I guess that I closed it thinking "Naw, they wouldn't have put it there!" What was the point of the move? Makes no sense to me whatsoever. In other words, it was the Customize part of the whole equation that had my head spinning. Thanks though. I'll yell for you if I have other questions about Office XP! Oh, wait, I do have a question. Do you also use Outlook? Have you noticed that when composing a new message and you click the To: button, the address book that pops up is sorted by first name? I can't find a way to change that either. I have specified in Contacts to list as Last, First and it does when displayed in Contacts views. But the blasted address book still sorts them in First Last. So Gary Allen is right in order with Gary Zell then Gene Nobody. What sense is that? ...ramble...moan... Anyway, if you have any insight here, I'll happily take it! Lianna

Never heard of TurboFTP. I'll look for it in a bit and check it out. Can you tell us the secret setting in TurboFTP for future reference? Thanx L

Dang! I found it! As soon as I give up, of course. Next time, I'll quit earlier! For anyone else interested: Tools > Customize > Options tab > Always show full menus From any Office application, that will impact all of them. Bill, sorry for taking up your board space with this one! L

I'm going crazy here! I just upgraded from MS Office 2000 to Office XP and I'm getting frustrated with something: You know how the less used menu items are hidden and you have to click the little double arrow at the end of any menu to expand it? Well, in 2000 you could get rid of that and I did, quickly! PROBLEM: Can't for the life of me figure out how to do it in Office XP. Help is no help, discussion forums are 3 hours behind in even posting....lame for being such a giant in the industry (IMO). So I'm resorting here. If anybody has a clue on this one, could you let me in on it? Thanks! L

Sure, most FTP clients have a filter that can be applied. What FTP client are you using? CuteFTP uses a filter: " Displaying Hidden Files: You can display hidden files on servers using a special filter command. When configuring your filter, select Enable remote filters (Server applied filter). Type in -rtaF next to this field. Your listing command should now be LIST-rtaF, which will display of hidden files." Lianna

Are you talking about the dark purple Horde login page? I dunno, but I'd prefer a lighter interface, too. I'll look around after while and see what I can come up with. Lianna

You're very welcome. Yeah, Head Guru has something up his sleeve, but he isn't even giving us any hints. Good thing I can hold my breath for a really long time! Welcome home. Lianna

OK folks! Last day to vote! Polls close at 10pm Central (GMT-6)!
