Oli,

I like to ditch the w98 machine but unfortunately we cnat as the accounts
ppl use it to fax thing across on a modem, and there isn't any modem drivers
for it when it comes to win2k

Interesting suggetsion about delete the PWL files, I can do that but then
you go onto duggest login in as blank user/pass. This not exactly what I
want to see happen as users will not be able to use the network printers
from the machine to print of reports as well.
