Thanks, I'll check that next time I'm at that office. However, that doesn't
address the implicit problem of a screensaver setting for resume with
password prompt locking the computer, and that lock stopping access to
network shares by other computers (unless they had an administrative
privilege logon account presumably). Are you saying that you don't think Win
XP Pro computer lock blocks network access to file shares by annonymous/guest
accounts over the net?
