Oftentimes, I'll feature a Microsoft Knowledge Base article in the GnomeSYSTEM section. Anyone can click on the link and visit the page for more information, but you're right--Microsoft wants you to register before you can view it. If you're afraid of cookies (beware the chocolate chip of death), then you can view those KB articles through e-mail. Just mail mshelp@microsoft.com and enter the "code" as the subject of the e-mail message. For instance, if you want to get more info on "How to Change the Default Windows Color Scheme," you would use Q196001 as the code. The site is http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q196/0/01.asp. Look at the last part of it and you'll find q196/0/01. Remove those slashes, and you've got a winner!
