Chuck,
Thanks for the input. I executed the net user command successfully. However,
I did resolve my problem before trying this... When I initially set up the
network connection for my DSL service I failed to elect to have the username
and password saved for ALL USERS on my pc. To make matters worse, I also had
the settings for the DSL connection pre-set so that I was NOT prompted for a
username and password (all I had to do was click on the shortcut icon and I
automatically connected). I went into the properties dialog box for the DSL
network connection and under the options tab I was able to check off the
"prompt for unsername and password" option. I've done this and now get a
dialog box whenever I click to log onto my DSL service...and this dialog box
contains a check box with an option to save my username and password for
access by ALL USERS on my pc. I now have this option box checked and, as a
result, my guest account now has access to the internet (thought the Network
Connections still shows "empty" under the user account...but, heck, who cares
as long as the internet connection is there, connected and running, in the
background). Anyway, thanks for input just the same. Regards, Mark DiRollo
