<sob>I administrate an NT Network</sob> and have problems when I have to fix a high muckety-muck's machine when their not around. They come back and wany my ass for having logged in on their machine w/o their knowledge. So I wrote a batch-file perl script combo that determines if it's an NT/9x machine and generates the appropriate registry key to put whatever login name I want on the login screen, imports the key silently, and deletes the key. Anyone who'd like the scripts, mailto:mansfieldj@yahoo.com

      Despite my greater network enlightenment, I'm but a underling. The only quota we have is the users' Exchange mailboxes. Pretty much, if the muckety-mucks ask for more space, they get more space. Besides, the satisfaction I get from ability is greater than their petty, worldly concerns.
      Quite simply, if anyone started giving me that kind of grief I'd be straight over their head to their manager/director/VP. IT/admin work is hard enough without people giving you this kind of stick. Thankfully I work for a company where the managers are flexible toward us IT types - but I've had the odd programmer get all uppity about me logging onto his machine only for them to be told "remember, it's the company's machine. And Peter's the company." :)
