Yeah, I think a registry-rummage might be the only way.

I have to say I am tempted by WHS - my current Win2k install is
being a complete pain, with Active Directory giving up every few
hours and endless errors being logged (although I can still log on
and access folders from all PCs except my main desktop one!)

A couple of questions - can I leave my email on the WHS PC IMAP-
style, so it can be accessed from any other machine?  And can it be
set up to do a backup to an ftp site or to a removeable drive (i.e.
for offsite backups)
