Here here Jon, XP is driving me nuttier. I have found that if you go to the C:\ and find the documents and settings something like that and go to tools and show hidden, you will find a folder called default user. I then load a person anyone with all you want the kids to have then you go to my computer and do properties and then the second setting (not setting an XP machine) and choose that one and then you see the list of users and choose the one you made up and then copy that one to the default user file. I have found that works on almost everything. Not WordPerfect or Pagemaker though. I still need some ideas on that one as well. Not sure what I am going to do there yet. We need a class on XP!!!! By the way, you have to be administrator when you are doing all this. You know that though.

We are having trouble setting up a couple of things in XP. 1. We can't get publisher 2000 to run unless we have administrative rights for our users. The program starts but just quits after you click finish on the helper. Has anyone else run into this problem? 2. We can't get Poweruser to select a group. So teachers can load stuff onto their machine I want to allow the whole group poweruser status. Instead I have to allow the actual teachers name. That defeats the purpose of having Powerusers work with groups. 3. Finally I can't get a generic account on the local machine to copy to the all users area so the settings will work with everyone. It just won't take it? If you are thinking about switching to XP let me tell you that the control is great, non crashing is great, but those rotten profiles are a pain!!!! -- Thanks, Jon W.
