next question is that what rights the users have on the w2k machines?
they don't have rights by default to change this so if you have not later added the rights, you would need to:
a) create admin script which scans all computers changing the settings and asking user to reboot
b) use su or other util to run as admin (security conserns) while logging on

and, ofcourse will not shoot you.
you even picked the right forum and all. [Wink]
reading your post shows that you have readen many posts before posting this, right? [Eek!]
