I neither think that it is legal to add such features, nor is it probably recommended 
as hacking your os to do something it was specifically designed NOT to do can lead 
to probs... However, this gives you the oppertunity to try something with some real 
meat! I'm speaking of apache, the open source web server... Apache is platform agnostic... 
It doesn't care what it's run on as long as its binary compatable with the OS (Windows, 
MacOS, Linux, etc...) So give that a try... You'll find it works quite well (after 
you tweak xp home to provide more bandwidth, that is.. MS Limits the bandwith to 
20% of potential.. there are tools built into Home that Let you tweak that without 
touching the registry...)  The final benefit of this is once you learn apache, You 
Don't NEED TO RELEARN... Might be a steep Grade at first, but Once it works, it works 
and you can migrate your page to any os which supports appache (win Flavors Included)... 
So Good Luck, and Viva Open Source!!!
