Thanks for your opinion about NT in a school environment. But this is my last resort turning to NT OS. We have to visit our labs now constantly with problems relating to our win 95 workstations. Right now I must deal with this security issue to try and lock down these workstations to the best of my knowledge with the help of others. I am going to try kixtart with the NT workstation and i know that you have given my fair warning. Does anyone wants to take a chance in getting me started?
