Hi.

How in AutoIt can I determin if a script is running on Windows XP Pro vs Home Edition?

You can see the difference in the output of "start, run, winver", use filemon and regmon to check what it's reading. This might point you to the difference in a file or a registry key.

Hi.

Do you have a URL to some site listing all these nice WMI readable stuff?

Use The AutoIt Scriptomatic in my signature. If you use the MS Scriptomatic you have to convert the VBS to AutoIt.
