RE: Limited Account

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?
