Mo,
I have always had complete control of my computers and been able to swap
between them regardless of which computer I was using. That's why I like it and
that's what I wanted! I haven't achieved it yet,but I'm sure it is possible!
I am thinking that I would want to enter by password and also to know what you
mean about safety issues, but I think it's worth it from my point of view, so
long as I am very careful!
Anyway, I shall look around someone who can help you further on this since I'm
not really having any joy, and in the meantime I won't let it bother me too
much.
Thanks for your concern. No need to ring but thanks for the offer. Regards
Carol P
