Depending on the operating system, you can lock the console without logging him off his email. When I leave my system on my desk, I hit ctrl/alt/del and click lock to prevent users from my system, and all of my network operations, including email, continue in the background no problem. But that's with Win2k. Alternatively, you could use a password enabled screensaver that locks access to the console....but only physically....;-)

He gets alot of email, and it comes in constantly. To prevent tieing up his machine in the morning, he leaves it logged in all the time so outlook can be constantly getting his mail. I really would like to be able to have him log out and still have his mail coming in (this might just be a pipe dream). I've been looking and I can't find a solution to this problem. Any help would be appreciated. John Diaz Technical Department BestPriceCruises.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
