James,
Thanks for your reply, but if is setup passwords on shares everyone else on
the network would be inconvienenced. Mostly me by having to help them get to
a share they hadn't used for a while and lost their password to.
There must be a way through the Account Permissions to lock one user account
out of seeing the Workgroup all together. Is there a Poledit for Vista?
