If your a Professional my answer would be Microsoft Technet.
If your a home user my answer is the Microsoft Knowledge base.

IMHO these are the *best* sources of information about all Windows products.

The second best place for NT/2000 Info (IMHO) is the Windows2000 magazine web site. This one is only any good if you have a subscription. Without a subscription your locked out of some of the better articles.

BOOKS! Check around at resale shops, libraries, and bookstores, and get books on A+ testing. These are questions that will be covered in those books. Also check some of the A+ testing related sites on the net, might be good info there.

And of course, the M$ sources scada mentioned are also top notch.

And I'll post answers here too if you want, I can answer most without much trouble, several others here can too. That's what we're here for...

Soon as I come up with all the answers...they change the questions!!
