here's an on topic question... i recall someone, maybe ray, mentioned a long time ago that you can lock a workstation from the command line via: rundll32 user32.dll,LockWorkStation. is there a simular way to log off a user? i'm trying to avoid the 3rd party utilities that will do what i want. ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
