>Real Blogger Status Beta: http://bloggerstatusforrealbeta.blogspot.com/ I was doing the above from Sam1. Drive Z is mapped exactly as you
described it. (\\tee1\C:\) I have admin privileges on Tee1 (that's my
wife's main machine, used for web design) as well as my own machine.
I'll try the same commands on another machine or two and let you know
what happens.
All the machines on our system are running XP-Pro sp2, except me... I'm
using Vista Business. We don't have remote registry privileges set... is
that why I get that error message?
What's frustrating to me is, that in XP you could add "network places"
by specifically referencing a network address. I can find no similar
function that'll let me do that in Vista.
