Sure, just create the new user (Control Panel -> Users and Passwords) and (optionally) set the password not to expire (from Users and Passwords, Advanced tab, Advanced button, Users folder, right click on the user and hit Properties, there's a tickbox "Password never expires"). It'll be an empty password unless you change it. > 2. When Win2000 boots up the startup screen asks me what what i want to > use Win2000 or 98. How can i change this? As Administrator, Control Panel -> System (or just hit Windows-Break), then Advanced -> Startup and Recovery... and there are options there. These modify the settings in the BOOT.INI file, but using that dialog box is best unless you know what you're doing. I'm afraid I have no ideas on the macro/typing front, I haven't used anything like that for Windows. Regards, Ben A L Jemmett. (http://web.ukonline.co.uk/ben.jemmett/, http://www.deltasoft.com/)
