Re: Help undo important changes post SP1 updates Addendum

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Camile, thanks.Would you believe that just prior to your response I happened

then released for checking? I still get the user login window though. Any
other thoughts?
Regards.
