I tried that -- I don't have a password on my limited acct and it wouldn't let me use that to access it...

Ugh -- my desktop runs XP pro and I make a fair bit of use of being able to tweak/tune ACLs, so I don't think I want to turn SFS back on. BUT: the same problem [with needing a password] happens from my wife's laptop, also [and she's got XP/Pro on it]. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
