Re: need registry key for blank passwd

Take a look at this registry key which may disable it I believe when set to
zero as shown.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\limitblankpassworduse:
0x00000000

I use a free program called Regshot to do comparisons of the registry before
and after such a change. There are other programs that may be a bit easier
to use but for the price and the fact that it does not have to be installed
make Regshot a neat utility to have.--- Steve
