Now if there was a diagnostic tool that would continue
to run thru "Switch User". As I wrote earlier most
diagnostic tools stop when you logoff.
Keep me in mind the next time you have a group
discussion with your other MVP. Possibly someone might
have a suggestion. (other than reinstalling XP) ;>)
Thanks again,
