Roger,
Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure you understand
what I'm trying to describe. The account that keeps
locking out, I wasn't even trying to log on with. It is
my girlfriend's logon. It is set up as a Power User. I
have 2 other accounts, mine and my roomate's also set as a
Power User. Neither of these accounts are locking out. I
was in under the Administrator account, did some changes
and rebooted or logged the Admin account off. When I did
that her account disappeared from the Welcome screen, just
in between Windows restarting. So I go back in as Admin
an to the properties of her account. It has a check in
the Lock out box. This happened about 4 times and on
another occasion. The other 2 Power User accounts don't
exihibit this behavior. Something weird is going on. I
can understand the invalid logon lockout, but no one tried
to log this account in. I just restarted Windows.
