Speaking for MS, I can assure you that William has it right: 1. this is a hard-coded value 2. any attempt to change is it both unsupported and a violation of the licensing agreement you glossed over in your rush to install the product. Short story; if you want a server, install a server product.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Amos D.
