Great. I will soon be stopping for the night, but can follow up tomorrow or whenever you are able to post some more of your findings.
> Are you running on an XP VM? What happens when you do a ctrl+alt+del?* I'm running XP Pro x64 on a real PC, but have VMware images for Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro SP3 (32bit) & Win 7 (64 bit). (It is amazing the licenses you accumulate just buy replacing PCs every few years) With VMware workstation, CTRL+ALT+DEL will be processed by the host (the real PC) as well as the virtual machine. It prompts you about this and provides a mapping of CTRL+ALT+INSERT that will send CTRL+ALT+DEL to the virtual machine. That is why I wondered about it before.
