I dont understand why you want to have XP Home edition working when you have XP corp.
Just use the corp version and be happy

hello. mike.

everyone know that the professional version have a lot of things that is not used for a moderate user.
so surpose it take more memory and system resources compared to home edition which is a best os for a home user .

i prefer home editon then professional

i am right !

actually there are way to convert from pro to home, its very easy. what you need is to get a list of files ( same to corpfiles) and then search for this files on windows xp home edition cd. then copy this home edition files to your pro installation folder, your windows xp will be a home version. but remember u still  need to activate the windows.

Why not just install pro, then disable the extra services you don\'t need?  Technically it won\'t be XP Home, but close enough.
