And with XP Pro and server 2003 standard, instead of having an account for the local pc can the admin a ccount on the server be used instead of the local? when i install XP its asks for admin password, is there an option to just use the server admin account instead of making a new one? and why cant partitons be shared normally, not as an admin share (eg: d$)? sometimes windows seeems a little backwards in terms of usability but thats me being picky i guess!	aidanmaz (7180)

One of the reasons is that most of the "invisible" services which allow the machine to operate are owned by root, even if no-one ever logs in to that account after the OS has been installed. ;) Permissions aren't "NTFS" or "FAT32". Those are filesystems. Permissions are attributes ... and they are managed by the operating system's security mechanisms.	Graham L (2)
