Thankyou. Am I able to use OUTLOOK 03 to pick up these newgroups, or does it
have to be express?

however why not do yourself a favour and use the newsgroups in the way
they were intended and use a news client (Outlook Express will do here)
and subscribe to the Microsoft news server msnews.microsoft.com?

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!
