SORRY!...
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! DAN -- ========== Dan Walters |

SORRY!...
Thankyou. Am I able to use OUTLOOK 03 to pick up these newgroups, or does it
have to be express? -- ========== Dan Walters "Mike M" wrote: The microsoft.public.win2000.general hierarchy is available via your browser at: http://www.microsoft.com/communities...1-f1fc4df74b7a 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? -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows [2001-2006] DanielWalters6 wrote: Sorry for posting this in Windows ME, but I'm not too sure where the Windows 2000 Pro discussion group is!

You can use Outlook to access the newsgroups - it hooks into Outlook
Express for the newsgroups but otherwise continues as before. You should be able to find more details in Outlook's help. -- Mike Maltby DanielWalters6 wrote: Thankyou. Am I able to use OUTLOOK 03 to pick up these newgroups, or does it have to be express? |
