Thank you for your response. I made a mistake on my message I was thinking
of using PC Relocator not PC Anywhere.

My step-son has his dads old computer. It is a P2, 10GB, 128mb,
Windows 2000. My husbands old business network connection is still on the
hard drive also I have setup the home network so his business stuff does
not get messed up. My step-son of course has downloaded every imaginable
Bonzai Buddy, Kazaa etc. program he can find. He uses these for I guess
games etc., so I know he does not want them uninstalled. The computer is
very slow for internet access and booting. Are there any suggestions on how
to speed it up without removing those programs. Also, everytime I reboot
the computer the folder C:/WINNT opens. I am planning on ghosting onto a
larger hard drive or using PC Anywhere. What do you think will any of this
help?---------------------
- Download a spyware/adware removal tool, like Adaware from
www.lavasoftusa.com
- Also, check in the following registry key and delete entries for
applications that you do not want to start up automatically (many apps
install little tray agents and others that aren't necessary, especially if
not all the users are using all of these apps)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
