Startxwin.bat shouldn't ask for a password. It should just start X in multi-window mode. You won't see anything onscreen except an X icon in the System Tray. The only time you need to put in a password is when you authenticate your ssh session to the Linux box. This can be avoided by setting up a public and a private key and using Pagent. I have it working here now. Later David Kirk
