It works fine in XP Home Edition as well.

Viv,
Yes.  For the 2nd question, will test in a Windows XP Home unit and let you know.

Hi Ramesh,
I have just tried what you wrote me and it's indeed true: "value present
under 'policies' will override the value under WinLogon". I haven't
found this info anywhere in MSDNL or NGs, so thanks a lot again.
This means actually that for disabling FUS I should care only about:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\AllowMultipleTSSessions
by creating it if needed and setting it to 0.
I don't need to also set or care about HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AllowMultipleTSSessions as this is anyhow
overwritten right?
(I am asking this because there is XP Home, XP Pro, 2 service packs, and
as I don't have access to all of these combinations I would like to be
sure that the above is true for all of these)
Thanks a lot,
Viv
