Windows logo key + Pause/Break will display the version ... he just meant
XP Home or XP Pro ... what an oxymoron, eh? Such as Home as even more
crippled networking ... who at Mickey$oft would expect 'home users' to
want to network their comps?

My memory is really fuzzy, but around '03 an American working for a joint
venture company was in country with a personal laptop and he'd somehow
reset his password and forgot it ... iirc, Google led me to some SAM file
or registry edit, which was easily removed/reset and then a new password
given. Once I found the fix, it was only seconds to do it. The effectively
gave the same account a new passwd.

C:\Users\Anna>cat /proc/version
