Slipstream is a service provided by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows 2000 that allows users to install Windows 2000 with the service pack already applied during the install.

To perform a slipstreaming install, follow the below steps:

1. Copy the complete Windows 2000 CD to the hard disk drive or a distribution location on the network.
2. On the service pack update.exe, run the following command:
   
   update.exe -s x:\distribute\Win2kPro
   
   
3. Once completed, run the install for Windows 2000 and this will install Windows 2000 with the service pack already installed

There are actually two methods of automatically starting programs when booting into Windows.

First, create an icon for what you want to start, or just copy the icon of what you want to start, and place it in the startup group within program manager.  Anything within the startup group will automatically start up when Windows starts up each time.

Alternatively, from MS-DOS, when running windows by typing win you can add the program you wish to run after the command, such as win notepad would run windows and launch notepad automatically.

The user can edit the registry by clicking Start / Run and type in "Regedit", find and type in the name of the person that the computer was registered. Once all of the names have been replaced exit out of Regedit and reboot the computer.

Alternatively the user can reinstall Windows 95.
