Thanks for answering but unfortunately that isn't working
here. Have disabled this on the 2003 server and XP clients
and it still does the same. There are also 2000 clients
which don't use the facility.

According to the article, it shouldn't happen anyway as
the server is a DC and clients are member machines, so we
satisfy the second of:
"This functionality is disabled if more than 32 computers
with shared resources are detected on your network, if you
are joined to a domain, if you are using a dial-up or a
VPN connection, or if an administrator has disabled the
functionality by using Group Policy."

Any other ideas?

Can't wait 'til Microsoft start introducing "feature poor"
OS's :-)

Thanks,
JC
