1. COMMENTARY (contributed by John Savill, FAQ Editor, jsavill@winnetmag.com) With Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) now available and Windows XP SP1 on the way, I take a look this week at some of the new features in the service packs. I examine the Win2K SP3 Automatic Updates feature and tell you how to use the registry to configure this feature. I also describe how to modify the DLL search order, how to connect to a Windows .NET Server (Win.NET Server) console, how to correct poor color quality in RDP sessions, and how to disable the Encrypting File System (EFS) on a Win2K or later machine. My new book, “The Windows XP/2000 Answer Book: A Complete Resource from the Desktop to the Enterprise” (Addison-Wesley), is now available for preorder on Amazon.com at the URL below. The book will be available at the end of September.
