Default Which XP newsgroups?

was wondering which of the many XP 'groups those here would

avoiding.


These two groups:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support

have extremely high traffic and your questions have a high probability
of being ignored or maybe get one or two replies at most.

I tend to post (or, usually, cross-post) XP questions to these groups:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize
microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage
microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment

If your question is technically not about XP (but about IE or Outlook,
or Excel, Word, etc) then you should post it in an XP-IE or XP-Outlook
group, etc.

Questions relating to security, viruses, spyware, etc, should be posted
to:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin
microsoft.public.security.virus
