Just my 2c worth:
Wouldn't it make more sense for XP users to run NTPrime now that
George has released v21.4 in that format?
Surely you would then have one copy running irrespective of how
many users happened to be "logged in" - even zero :) ?
I presume the Win XP problem is that "start at bootup" is in effect
putting a shortcut into the user's own, or "all users" StartUp folder,
so that it gets run for each user.
