I've looked in the regsitry and the 2227.... value seems to be the
class ID windows assigns to the "add new printer" action. I don't feel
comfortable mucking around with that, certainly, and I'm not sure it'd
do much good if I did...
Anyone know about these special versions of win2k-enabled sambas? I'm
just using the latest out of SID.
