Hi DEX, I dont understand the fact that she did'nt put in a password, why has it suddenly appeared? It could'nt have anything to do with Administrator settings, because she has been using OK for that up to now. Perhaps she should check the settings. (IE options; connections) and properties; and be sure that logon and password boxes are unchecked.
