scott, it may sound harsh, but a Linux Users' Group maillist is not a place
to ask a M$ windows question. sorry, for not being "politically correct" but
go and find tech support from your beloved corporation (either free of
charge or paid).

have a nice day and use open source!

kind regards,


vladimir
