There's actually only two or three checkboxes on that page that are set right by default. The rest, IMO, are exactly what I don't want. Another major reason why I'm still on W2K - don't want to go through a gazillion settings (which is inevitable when installing any version of Windows) that have ridiculously wrong defaults.
