Hi Kenneth,
Yes, I do have XP Pro (sorry, I realise I should have said that !)
I have followed your easy guide (thanks for being so detailed too) and
have done what you said !
I had a look in Aministrator while I was there and there was a tick in
"Password never expires box" but not in my user name (Steve would you
believe !) and so I now feel confident that you have solved the
problem for me, I was getting really worried !
Many thanks for your help !
Kindest Regards from the UK !
Steve
