Post installation

Yes I know, Windows pftt... But anyway, i'm kinda forced to use it since the hosting where the site is has only windows.

The problem:
Drupal use the gmdate function from php (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gmdate.php), and that function, under windows, does not work for negative timestaps, (any date before 1970 has a negative timestamp).

My web host doesn't allow crontabs, so I can't set up Drupal to execute cron.php at certain time intervals. I really wouldn't care so much, but my problem is that I'm using the mailhandler module to make moblog posts via my cellphone. That is working fine, but cron.php needs to run before the posts I made with my cellphone (thorugh mailhandler) are actually shown on the site. Since I won't be at my computer when I update with my cell phone I won't be able to run cron.php myself. So I need some way to access this file frequently enough, but my host won't allow crontabs.

I am not able to find a place where i can set permissions for different users to view areas of a web page. I wish to block certain areas of my drupal powered site to certain users only.

I thought i read that it is possible in Administration > User management.
Is this available in Drupal 4.4?

Accounts > Permissions in drupal 4.4 does Not let me specify which pages are available to a certain user/group of users.

I can't figure out why the book view and the node view of a single page display differently. The node view displays normally:

but the book view (and printer friendly page) display without the br tags:

Hello:
I noticed in the user admin block that when you click on a link... it brings up an indented subcategory of links to choose from. I very much would like to use this functionality. Where can I find a sample of the HTML code used to do this?

Please advise and thanks,

My host just installed PHP suExec and now requires that all PHP calls in .htaccess be moved into a php.ini file within my directory instead (I do not have access to the server php.ini). How do I get Drupal to work with the php.ini instead of .htaccess?
