Cheers Wookie for the Internet connection info, that worked a treat.

Now all I gotta do is work out why some applications are being shared across the users, and others not. I'd imagine that it's a simple case of the same thing as the diallup, but why did it just not allow everything in the first place?

For example, all users have access to excel, powerpoint (the missus uses it), outlook and all the other ms progs, yet I'm the only one that has word. It was all installed on the same day and it's all in the same dir.

I'm guessing there is an option to share the program, right?

(Also, I still can't work out how the administrator has access to the limited users files...)

Cheers all, I havent used logins since win95, and all this help is really appreciated!

Got it sorted now. For those that are interested, the limited user accounts did have access to the programs, it's just that the shortcuts had been removed. change their access to administrator, copy a shortcut from the ms office (orwhatever) shortcut dir, and stuff it in their start menu, then change their account back to limited.

And access to everyone elses files is by c:/windows/docs, and there is dirs for the other users.
