The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Program was started in the mid 1990s as a way to recognise those members of the general public who devoted their time and considerable computing skills, on a voluntary basis, to helping users 'in distress' in the various newsgroups hosted by Microsoft. There are now around 1800 MVPs worldwide who actively participate in the Microsoft Technical Newsgroups. Many are IT consultants, some are published authors or technical instructors, and there are those who have no formal training but have an in-depth level of practical experience.

Keep a Dial Up Connection Alive whilst using fast user switching

On Windows XP, when you switch between users using Fast User Switching a dialup connection will be dropped. To prevent this from happening change or create the following.

Open the registry editior by going to Start > Run and typing in regedit
  Navigate to  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon


regedit

  Create a new string value in winlogon by right clicking as shown above. Call this new string KeepRasConnections and set its value to either 0 or 1 to disable(0) or enable(1). After creating this value restart for it to take effect.
