Will,
THANK YOU! THANY YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I knew it had to be a switch. I just couldn't find what it
was. And another thank you for the very quick reply.

BTW, the Knowledge Base article you referred to below
states that it only applies to Windows 2000 and NT. Should
it also list XP or is there another article that applies
to XP? I guess I can do my own search now that I know what
to look for, but I thought I would point this out.

Did I remember to thank you?
Nancy
