Aaron (or anyone),

Years ago in another life I ran a small (`50 workstation) Novell LAN with a 
Tricord and several Compaq servers as a collateral duty (I was also Engineering 
Manager).  I was always impressed by the fact that the LAN could run for 
months without shutting down and restarting.  Our LAN here has three W2K 
workstations and I generally reboot all of them at least once a week to keep them 
running.  I understand that XP is even worse (daily reboots recommended).  Is there 
a garbage collection or resources free-up utilty around that will run on W2K 
machines to eliminate the reboot requirement?
