Well, I hope they got their heads screwed on straight on issues like this, :-) since this particular item is just a check box on a Control Panel form in Win95/98 and I'm sure it just makes the Registry entry for you whereas in NT the Regsitry edit is manual.

So W2K is the NT extension and, if I remember correctly, MS will come out with another Win98 extension too, right? Or is the current Win98 update the end of the road on that track?
