Hey, beats me, Richard! I don't know what system services are in XP. This Google search came up with this: http://www.google.com/search?q=XP%20System%20Services It's probably the same dog, but with a different collar, i.e., new phraseology to something that we all know..., with a different label? Apparently it has to do with files and explorer, permissions in the sharing of files, etc. If it's what I think, XPH is limited in this area, right? I just thought of a site that may have a solution, at least he seems to know more than I do, but almost everyone else does. ;) Take a look here: http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm Herman On Thu, 9 Oct 2003 14:49:21 -0700, "Richard Matthew" wrote: > > Thank you Armando, > > I'll give all a try.
