Jochem,
does the MSN web based beta run in non IE browsers? I took that as your
meaning.
Also by swap I presume you mean swap file? What is the reason for selecting
a separate partition for that?

It is a usefull tool to have, but not as your only browser. But do install something else as IE and Outlook and if the kids use MSN, make sure to get them on the web based beta (MSN uses IE).

My preference is to have a separate Files drive. Then on that drive, I
might have partitions for each person and set Windows to point their
MyDocuments folder to that partition. The partitions aren't absolutely
necessary, you could use folders. But a partition is also a limit on
their space.

...to be clear, are you suggesting a separate partition for each kid, and
why?

There is, but save yourself the time and trouble and just do the reinstall. And do it right, with different partitions, different user accou
I know you don't want to do a reinstall - but seriously ... I think you
should consider it.
You never know where all the far reaching tentacles have gone ...
Format (A TRUE format)
Re-install
Get ZA(or equivalent firewall) on there
Get Anti-virus
Get kids their own computer

Sure, you can try to clean it all out by hand. But from experience of
just doing that with one or two, it can be tricky to get everything
and many of them will repropogate themselves on reboots. And since the
only way to see if you got everything is to reboot...

1. Get DSL router with "firewall".
2. Get AV software.
3. Get new hard drive.
4. Reinstall system and install AV software.
5. Get rid of kids.
