    Good thinking Steve. I guess I am so used to systems not even
    completing the boot when the letter has shifted, but then I am
    still in the W2k era/mindset on that and longing for the NT4 days.

    I notice in the KB you referenced
    <quote>
    Change from:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
    Version\Winlogon\Userinit:Reg_SZ:C:\WINNT\system32\userinit.exe
    Change to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
    Version\Winlogon\Userinit:Reg_SZ:userinit.exe
    </quote>
    which makes me wonder why they hardcoded the full path
    into the reg value to being with !! I never knew one could
    rely on the system using a searchpath at that point in time.
