XPPRO: I set up a security policie to protect against simple, or blank passwords. This works finewhen you right click on my computer->manage->local users and groups->new user. It will not let you create a user that goes against the policy settings. However; The User Accounts from control panel, that has these options: Change an account, Create a new account or Change the way users log on or off, allows creation of a user with a blank password. I noticed that when a computer ison a domain, it gets rid of that User Accounts and uses the more advanced one. This computer is not going to be on a network at all, let alone a domain. any suggestions? Thanks, Joe
