JUNE WINNERS

Problem
It's June, so my thoughts turn to warm evenings, blooming azalea bushes, and of course, TechEd. Be sure to visit the Windows 2000 Magazine booth and take the Windows 2000 Magazine quiz. It doesn't matter whether you win a prize—what counts is the fun. (Okay, the prizes do count, and winning certainly adds to the fun.)

If you can't make it to TechEd, you can have some fun right here. This month's Reader Challenge is a Windows 2000 Magazine tech show quiz. You must answer all questions correctly to win.

   1. Ntdetect.com
   2. Winrep.exe
   3. Hal.dll
   4. NT Loader (NTLDR)
2. Which MS-DOS command does Win2K support?

   2. Backup
   3. Append
