    Ok, ran MMC with the security snap-in (on XP Corporate, SP1). Never
    told it to make any changes, but now every account I have that uses a
    password automatically locks the user out at least once a day,
    sometimes after each login. This never happened before running MMC,
    but damned if I can figure out how to "unscrew" it up... Any
    suggestions?

    Thanks...
    Tony
