Well, the others noted that stuff is greyed out so you can't type
anything in. Quite likely, the actual code is still there, and would
happily use "default" or "previous logon" info stored in the registry.
So what you do is find an XP Pro setup somewhere, use the domain from
there, then search the registry for the domain name (or other info
you're looking for) to find the keys.
Then you can create a simple little registry patch for the XP Home
installation that will have the domain filled in.


Regards,
Arjen.
