Thanks for the response.

Welcome back from your holiday - I missed your comprehensive responses to questions.

Do to the (almost) universal criticism of my original request on the BBS, I shelved the problem. Management sent a memo to all staff suggesting their responsibility for the security of their personal data and to the business data.

Frankly the responses have been disappointing with many workstations not logging out each evening and many users with passwords of PASSWORD or (surname), etc. When I visit the office over the weekend, I see several workstations still active with user Word documents open and Outlook open etc.

I've realised that I'm paid to give my advice but actioning my advice is a perogative of the management.

Best regards from Down Under...
