More info?)
I am used to domain logon which requires the use of control -alt -delete
which may be different that what you use. Try going into Control Panel/users
and groups to see if you have an option to reconfigure default account in
users properties or such. I don't have a W2K workstation box handy right now
to check for more specific details. Otherwise if you do not mind using
control - alt - delete to logon then while logged on as an administrator
open up Local Security Policy via secpol.msc in the run box and go to
security settings/local policies/security settings and for the security
option for "disable crtl+alt+dlt requirement for logon" set it to
disabled. --- Steve
