        Actually, rebooting an NT server once per week isn’t so bad when running
Services for Macintosh... Just be sure, at some point during the week set
CHKDSK to run on reboot, and to automatically fix any file system errors..
This also provides for deleting the Desktop files and rebuilding them, if
they are corrupted.

        Cheers!
