I'm totally new to nt4, so could I ask what thingy I click and what to change to enable this ntsec thing? The previous poster mentioned that he'd been able to use the control panel, but I see no cygwin icon when I bring up the control panel... perhaps he's not using nt. Is the registry thing what I need to change? If so, how does one change it? If this stuff is discussed in a beginners guide to nt, or a help file that I just need to read, then a pointer would be very welcome. Thanks.
