Yeah, plus it's a Wintendo question (any security in that?) that and rcgroups1 also gave him the most valuable clue in /General he's gonna get. At least I can vouch for the tool he mentions (w/o naming it, heh) cuz ive used it on a few NT stations' hives, never XP tho.

Plz redirect, I'm closing this thread.
