Client For Microsoft Networking user list
So lets get this straight. You have created additional users on your PC but
the User wizard does not show them? When you check Profiles in Windows Explorer, are the other uses shown? When you check Profiles in the Registry, are the other users shown there as well? I have read conflicting information re the Administrator for 98 and 98SE. The Resource Kit says the first person to log on after a Windows install automatically becomes the Administrator and this will be shown in the Users Wizard. I can verify that this does not happen. Another piece of information says that everyone has the same privileges unless the Policy Editor has been run to allocate otherwise. Alan "KC" wrote in message ... From Control Panel the "Users" option gives me the wizard to set up a multi-user environment. At the moment the 98 machine uses one user profile - same desktop, favorites etc. I've never bothered setting a multiuser environment and I dont think going through the wizard will help me. "Passwords" allows me to change the password for the current user, but I dont see the other users to delete them. Is there an Administrator account that I can log on to? I'll have a play and post back when I figure out what to do. Thanks for responding, Keith |

Client For Microsoft Networking user list
Hi Alan,
So lets get this straight. You have created additional users on your PC but the User wizard does not show them? Yes - I think. Let me say this... I've never added any users via Control Panel/Users, and attempting to do this just brings up the wizard. However, what I did do was keep adding new login user names and passwords using the login screen that is presented after choosing Client For Microsoft Networks as my primary network logon. Each of these does seem to have a unique profile, for instance the "quick type" drop down list on web entry forms is different for each user. When you check Profiles in Windows Explorer, are the other uses shown? Im showing my ignorance, but I dont know how to do that When you check Profiles in the Registry, are the other users shown there as well? under HKEY_USERS all I have is .DEFAULT and Software under HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Network / Recent I have the name of the XP machine shared folder with the current Win98 login ID Not sure that I'm looking in the right place though. I'm going to install Poledit to see what that can tell me - never used it before. To tell you the truth I dont know much about the networking side of win98. Something I need to get to grips with. Thanks for input, Keith |

First things first, when you do a search for .pwl files using the FIND
facility, does the result give you all the users that you have created? To check profiles in Windows Explorer, go to Windows\Profiles. There you should see a list of all the profiles that have been generated. Regarding the Registry, when you look in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Profile List, you should see an identical list of users. Basically, I believe Explorer and the Registry should have identical settings. I would use the Policy Editor as a last resort - but that is just me! On my system I have Microsoft Family login setup so that multiple users can use the same PC but all have there own unique settings for Desktop\Start-up etc. When activated the logon screen gives a list of all the valid users for the PC. You may want to do this to check what the system thinks it has setup. However, I don't know if you can swap between Client for MS Networks and Family login without causing further problems!

There you should see a list of all the profiles that have been generated. checked c:\Windows and there is no sub-folder called Profiles Regarding the Registry, when you look in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Profile List, you should see an identical list of users. Basically, I believe Explorer and the Registry should have identical settings. Checked all registry hives (mine start HKEY_...) and I dont have ProfileList thanks for the suggestions though. To get to the bottom of this I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get into win98 / xp networking properly - like buy a book . This is an annoyance more than anything because it just means that I've got several network id's hanging about on my system. Not the end of the world I guess. thanks again, Keith |
