Sorry for posting this in Windows ME, but I'm not too sure where the Windows
2000 Pro discussion group is!

At my place of work, I have "rigged" a computer to work off the company next
door's broadband platform (with their permission.) Just ethernet cable
through the wall work's brilliantly!

6 meg broadband for free!

Me and one other regular user of the machine has our own login's with our
own passwords. Both of our accounts works perfectly!

I have enabled the guest account (Control PanelUsersAdvancedAdvanced User
Management) (something like that, I'm sitting at home using xp, which is
slightly different) By unchecking the "this account is disabled checkbox"

For some reason (I've not kept a record of how many days) but every five or
seven days, somthing like that it then locks itself again. So when people who
come into the office who just require access to the internet go to use the
account, they are told that the account is disabled and to contact their
administrator.

This is becoming annoying, because when I'm not in the office I get phone
calls asking for the admin's login details, which in the modern world we live
in, shouldn't be necessary.

I was talking to another college and they suggested that I create a new
PROPER (not a built in guest one) and allow the users access to this, giving
it a name of PUBLIC or something suitable. This is a possibility, but the
amount of restrictions that I've put into place (eg. no internet options, no
access to the hard drive through my computer, no run, no regedit, etc etc
etc.) will take me several hours to pump back into a new account!

Can someone tell me if there is a registry fix that states how many days and
account can remain active?

Please help!
