As are we with a 'pure' windows environment, I think printers are actually the spawn of the devil and should be eliminated from any sane network! :-) eg if we modify a profile from a W2K or XP workstation (ie add a shortcut to the desktop - nothing flash) then we have to go to the server select the profile directory and re-save the permissions/security otherwise users are told that their profile could not be found. -- Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
