Albeit an off-topic discussion, I believe I may clarify this for you.

The reason that you see your Professional has a limit of 10 is because
Microsoft put it there so that people wouldn't buy the (cheaper)
Professional product and start using it as a Server. That way MS would
lose out on some potential business.

What you are trying to do is in fact impossible as it is for this exact
reason that MS has 2 products, MS Windows Professional and MS Windows
Server.

What you will notice is that when you create a share on your
Professional workstation, you will only be able to have a maximum of 10
users connected concurrently. This is again the check that MS has built
in to their product.

So the bottom line is this, MS will DEFINITELY not support your request
and I seriously doubt that there is any registry hack available to
achieve what you are trying to do.

Sorry 'bout that,
Cheers
William R.

Dear All;

Maybe this is out of topic, but i want to know about maximum logged on
user
in windows 2000 professional. when i user "net config server" i see that
"maximum logged on users : 10" . can i change 10 to be unlimited? but in
server version (windows NT server, windows2000 server, etc) is unlimited
user.

Any idea would be appreciated.

Best Regards;
Amos
