You most certainly do if you're company wants them
mine does our terminals lock after 5 mins of no activity requiring a
password to be entered to get back in.
its called security:)

And if your users connect to a domain server then you HAVE to have
passwords - there's no other option. I can't understand what all the
fuss is about...

Thip,

I printed out the various suggestions posted here, and took
them to my friend's yesterday afternoon. I was prepared to try them
all, but it wasn't necessary. Your suggestion -- the first response
posted -- was spot on!

As I had previously told my friend, there are usually many ways
to accomplish the same goal when working with a computer. Thanks to
everyone here for their input. I didn't test your suggestions only
because I subscribe to the theory: If it ain't broke, I don't fix it.
:)

The password requirement is gone! YAY.

Thanks again,

Thanks for the site; I've bookmarked it for future reference.
I'm not quite comfortable doing a lot of tweaks to a friend's system,
with which I am barely familiar, but I have set up a folder for sites
of interest pertaining to Win7. Your reference is the first site to go
into that folder. <g>

She writes 1-3 e-mails per day; browses on 4-5 sites per day;
she does no usenet. Thanks, but my definition of cleaning up a
computer is putting the vacuum cleaner near the cooling vents and
suckin' out the dirt. (I actually did that once to my first computer
in 1995, with disastrous results, resolved only by changing the vacuum
to blow. Problem solved. I kid you not!)

I vacuum each of my computers a couple of times a year, and have been
doing so since the mid 1980's. No problems so far.

I have a cat that sheds hair like crazy, so I do mine once a month. So
how often you clean out your PC all depends on the environment in which
it resides.

Sure, but the question was, have you ever had disastrous results from
vacuuming? I haven't.

As I stated elsewhere, I've been a usenet junkie since 1996. I
consider it very important to provide feedback, and thanks, to those
that help, and even those who try but fail to provide a *desirable*
resolution.

I'd still be strugging with Win-3.1 if not for all the usenet
helpers.

Thank you!
