To be honest, if that box in the users/passwords didn't work, I don't think what
you are trying to accomplish is possible. I'm not positive mind you, but I think
the best site to check would MS's 2000 Pro and their knowledge base. If it is possible,
I'd check in the Local Security Policy manager in Administrative Tools.
