I am just learning about server 2003, and have a few questions that don't seem to be addressed in books. 1. When do I need to have the server in a domain and not a workgroup. I only need to network 5 computers and was told that using a workgroup is much easier. 2. If I use a workgroup and not a domain or active directory, then do I need to install DNS. 3. Why or when would I want or need to go more advance and use a domain, AD and DNS? Thanks, Fitz

I have a flash drive that I'm editing the MP3 tags using Windows Explorer(Windows XP Home edition w/SP2). Everything goes along well for awhile for a number of the files and then the popup window to edit the tag doesn't show anymore. Repeated attempts are to no avail. I then have to restart. But before Windows shuts down, the Edit tag window will appear but too late - shutdown and restart. Anyone have any ideas what's happening in Windows explorere.

I installed a freeware DVD player and it plays my DVDs just fine. When I insert a DVD into the drive I get the "What do you want windows to do" prompt, but my player is not listed. I am selecting "Take no action" and then I manually launch my player. I don't want to disable the prompt, I would like to add my player to the "What do you want windows to do" list. Is this possible?
