I don't remember exactly how I changed it. I think I hit ctrl alt del and
changed it that way, like my Windows 2000 professional clients/users. I
don't know if I changed it via the Admin Console. I'll try it again and post
again. I thought it was an odd issue. Thanks for your help. I am still on
one server at SP3 ready to go to SP4 next week. -JohnJ
