Funny or not, a few HTTPS sites; TS and other services which I use on my
home PC require Windows Server. By the way the Server is just as good for a
multimedia workstation as XP is.

No, I am fine with the manual session reset (rwinsta.exe).

| 2 accounts, each with their own password. Like Roger said, 1 password

|
| #1- connects then gets disconnected...

Well the local console does not depend on the network and therefore cannot
disconnect by it self ;-)

I prefer to reset sessions manually. I have warned my friend to be more
careful.

Thank You very much, RedForeman!
