Ok, you are right. Let's put it this way. I won't go back to Win2K because I sometimes link my lap top with my PC to transfer files, and Win2K would attempt to make itself the administrator. I am a single home user, but I sometimes connect a lap top to transfer files I want to take with me on a trip. I don't want EITHER of them making itself the admin, and I don't want to lost the ability to plug in my GPS device or my PDA device.
