If not, then possibly the best way would be to apply a registry policy to the Windows machine and make sure the user of the machine actually only has 'User Rights' - this is a more broad general sysadmin topic... It means the user can use applications to do their job - they don't need, and shouldn't be able to modify network, proxy, hard disk or system settings. Configuring each local user into the "Administrator" group is asking for trouble, even if it does mean a little less inconvenience re: ActiveX controls and installing new software. But that doesn't change the fact I still administer networks where everyone has a password of "password" <sigh>.... don't worry, the yearly maintenance fee makes up for it :) Cheers, Gavin.
