Sorry, Andreas. Nothing there at all concerning user log in. For advanced issues I am told that "Windows Vista Home Premium cannot use the plugin". I can change a password, or change my user group, but nothing there addresses whether or not the particular user can be automatically logged in - unless it is that snapin I can't run. Any other suggestions? Bill

Ah. That was it. I knew there was a little checkbox somewhere but I couldn't find it. Thanks very much for that, Andreas. Bill
