we don’t want to have to keep changing the password though. Is that something with XP that we cannot avoid?

start > run > gpedit.msc to change the group/user policies on a XP system, but be carefull. Changes made there can be very powerfull !!

yes, ive already discovered how powerful they can be… hense the reason i came to you guys for help :slight_smile: I guess what Im asking is this: Are passwords expiring something that is a part of XP that you cannot get around? OR… can that be changed someplace by using gpedit.msc as you mentioned above?
