SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to go into: Administrative tools> Security Settings>Local Policies>Security Options. on right and window select "Network Access:Sharing and security model for local accounts" and select "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves." Next was because my Windows XP logons automatically without a password, which also affects remote desktop. To correct this I did the following: You can disable blank password restrictions by using a policy. To locate and change this policy: 1. Click Start, point to Run, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK to start the Group Policy Editor. 2. Open Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only. 3. Double-click Limit local account use of blank passwords to consol logon only. 4. Click Disabled, and then click OK. 5. Quit Group Policy Editor. I'm happy :)

"Open Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Accounts" This is a bit of a problem. I can open the Policy Editor as far as the "settings" levels but all of those contain the message "There are no items to show in this view" From what I can see this policy editor is just a waste of space. It certainly cannot solve my problem. Is it possible to manufacture a policy for this purpose?
