It says it's for XP but the policy is in 2k's group policy editor...

Also: TweakUI has a simple check-box option for disabling this.

OMG ... tweakui ! I'd forgotten all about that - didn't even have it on
that machine but I do now. Thanks, Rob.

Thanks, Galen. I decided to install tweakui as Rob suggested but it's
nice to know the registry changes anyway.

TweakUI is just a GUI for little registry tweaks like this.

Absolutely but I couldn't remember if there was a TweakUI for 2k or not and
my VMWare 2k image has gone funny since I went house cleaning on that
computer. I suppose I *could* reload it one of these days. It's been down
for a few weeks actually.
