Richard,

You know more about this stuff than than me but couldn't I just remove the setting? There are utilities & procedures available to help me bypass & reset the settings. If worse came to worse I guess I could install a second version of Win2000 & use this version to open up the first version. I done this on NT stations & I understand that this vunerability still exists on Win2000 but was eliminated with WinXP. On WinNT you can even edit the registry of the first version from the second version. I am uncertain if you can do this with Win2000 though.

In addition, the deny setting doesn't exist on Win98 clients.

I think it is important to know why he wishes to do this because there might be a more obvious solution to his problem if we knew what he was trying to achieve.
