Just to give you an idea about what someone can do when they have access to your network, basically, with a single username, they can get everyone's user ID/pw, as well as the main administrator.

Spooky,
Thanks for the reply. I tried to right-click and delete, not an option. There is also not an option for disable.
It looks to me like it's an actual network, like our office network 'Coast'. Obviously we want to keep the Coast, but how can I remove the 'Rob net'.
Bobby:
Every user that has access has a username & pwd. How can I protect from them as well?
Jaybee:
Unfortunately, some of the programs we use insist on administrator rights to run, not just install. If there is a way around that please let me know.
Thanks,
Carrie

- Dunno really. Right now I am researching security flaws (as of the past month or so), while doing that, I read a lot about how to fix these flaws. For some reason Win2k passwords can be cracked using "John the Ripper" I believe. I forget what program finds the usernames, I think it is a flaw with the search, that displays the computer names, which then shows the usernames for that computer.
Your best bet, is to have permissions for whatever you need to do, and nothing else. It takes a good 10 minutes to get inside a windows box.
