[RESOLVED] Audit mode?

[Buffer]

I have seen references several times to Audit mode in these forums what is the purpose of it and how is it run? (i understand its a sequence of keypress's but i am unsure of when to press and what), I don't mean to sound like a fool but MS make no reference to it in the KB.

When it reboots and it comes to the first screen where it wants a user & company name, press Ctrl-Shift-Tab-F3 and it will take you straight into Audit Mode.

This is what M$ has to say about it...

<font face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Geneva" size="2">SUMMARY
After you preinstall Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), while in Audit Mode, System Builders and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may choose the Shutdown option. In Windows 98 Gold, they can return to Audit Mode by pressing the CTRL+SHIFT+F3 key combination. This process does not work in Window 98 Second Edition because of the addition of the new Windows Welcome screens, also known as "Out of Box Experience" or OOBE. The workaround published in this article disables the Windows Welcome screens so that you can re-enable Audit Mode by using CTRL+SHIFT+F3 after you choose Shutdown. After you make registry changes, you are required to re-enable OOBE before you ship new PCs to your customers, per the Microsoft OEM Distribution Agreement.</font>
