I couldn't figure out how to add the "concerned
user" ... when I try to add, it gives me a "select
users, computers or groups" dialog box, but I can't
figure out what to enter in the "object name" field to
specify the user from the other WinXP Home PC. Anything I
put in there gets rejected as "not valid".
