Thanks for the info. I'll have to keep this in mind, as well as other numerous "patches" and add-ins that I'll have to consider to deal with "user experience" issues that will inevitably occur as I migrate everybody else away from Win XP (I remember the difficulty folks seemed to have with migration from Win9x to WinXP... The changes will likely be even more drastic).
