It's not necessarily going to be that simple, depending on just what other software you have installed. Anything that uses a package from Microsoft called ".NET Framework" can be a pain; the .NET Framework creates a separate non-privileged account (for security reasons). Although Microsoft claim to have a fix for this, it's been my experience that their fix doesn't work. You can hide the account (don't delete it, though!) by playing around in the registry, but that's not an approach I'd recommend for anyone not totally at ease with their system. ======= There's no reason Ann should have .Net Framework installed. That's usually XP Pro stuff, she has XP, and so she should be able to disable her logon pretty easily. But, yes, on the machine I have it on, I have to leave their stupid account on, because it is almost impossible to get rid of. Or getting rid of messes things up. On my laptop I don't have it, so disabling user logon was a snap. Marnie aka Doe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
