In Windows XP it's quite a difficult thing to do, but in earlier OS's it's not too hard. You can find out more at Virtual Plastic, but I can't remember the URL right now. I think it was posted in another thread that asked the same question a few days ago.

I've mentioned this somewhere before, I know that - but in XP it requires a hack to ntoskrnl.exe.

Same for 2K, I do believe.

It's more potential trouble than it's worth, really - if you /do/ insist on doing it, I'd suggest keeping the original ntoskrnl and setting up the modified one to load up in your boot.ini - that way, if it bombs, you can possibly recover.

But, if you've never editted a boot.ini file before - that isn't for the weak of heart either.
