Hi Wes,

Thanks for the quick reply, but none of those solutions worked. I have
added and passworded a second user and the guest account, but that hasn't
triggered it either.

I changed the name of the PC in hope that this would change the locked
station prompt from ASUS\Mr Barras\Osiris, but all it changed it to was
OSIRIS\Mr Barras\Osiris. How can I change the Mr Barras part?

Thanks for the help,

Neil
