The Advanced option you seek is not listed where Help and Support says =
it is. Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 Go to the =
Advanced tab. You'll find the CAD option there.
Amazing.
There are "gotchas" throughout these products. I felt a bit of sympathy
for the guy (a few messages above) who inadvertently set "Deny logon
locally" to "Administrator" - he probably thought he was configuring the
"right" to deny local logons. Also, I strongly suspect that the logon
machinery does *not* always handle spaces well - you'd be well advised
not to have any in your user name or you might find yourself locked out.
Last night, while trying to make an ERD diskette the machine informed me
that the operation failed - the diskette was "unusable". After the
third new diskette I started to get suspicious - OOPS, I had sleepily
forgotten that I had not logged on as Administrator. Logout/in and try
it again - problem solved.
I appreciate that this is complicated stuff but it just does not look
like anyone at Microsoft has *any* interest at all in basic quality
control procedures. Opaque error messages or none at all, zero or poor
help screens at critical configuration points, lousy basic security out
of the box...
Microsoft needs to axe a few of the people from "business planning" or
at least tell them to "shut the **** up" for a while. Then they should
hire a few divisions to deal with basic usability issues in the
software. Right now Microsoft is *exactly* where IBM was in the early
80's - a lot of people pissed off with them and they carry on, seemingly
oblivious to people's justifiable anger. IBM almost disappeared under
the waves as a result. Are you paying attention Microsoft?
Go Linux.
