Windows Tip: By Raymond, WebTechGeek.com
- Question: How do I increase the number of registry save
slots I can do for backups. Right now it's at the standard
5. I want to increase this to maybe 30 just in case...
So I have a month backup of it.... Any ideas on doing
this?

MaxBackupCopies to 10 or 15.
Microsoft Windows NT domain password:
in Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98, and Windows
95. To cache your Windows NT domain password in Windows
Me/98/95, follow these steps: In Control Panel, double-click
the Passwords icon, and then click Change Windows Password.
If any check boxes in the Change Windows Password dialog
box are selected, click them to clear them, and then click
OK. In the Old Password box, type your current Windows
password. Leave the New Password and Confirm New Password
boxes empty, and then click OK. Click Close. In Control
Panel, double-click the Network icon. Make sure that the
Client for Microsoft Networks is installed. Double-click
Client For Microsoft Networks, click the "Log on to Windows
NT domain" check box to select it, and then click OK.
In the Primary Network Logon box, click Windows Logon,
and then click OK. When you are prompted to restart your
computer, click Yes. In the Enter Network Password dialog
box, type your Windows NT domain password in the Password
box, click the "Save this password in your password list"
check box to select it, and then click OK. The next time
you start your computer, you will not be prompted for
a password and you will be logged in to the Windows NT
domain automatically. As long as your Windows and Windows
NT domain passwords are different, and Windows Logon remains
your primary network logon, you will not be prompted for
either password. NOTE: The method described in this article
does not work if system policies and user profiles are
enabled, and password caching has been disabled. By WebTechGeek.com.
