    Of course I can't get into Control Panel. They've done a good job actually - the PCs don't have USB ports or floppy/CD drives, so nobody can take data out of the building from their computer. I don't have a say in which wallpaper is displayed or when the machine is defragged (I don't suppose anyone does that, but as it only uses a handful of programs I doubt it's very fragmented).

    Actually there's not much loads in startup - the machine seems to take ages to boot because it runs a logon script etc and from two weeks ahead, it halts and asks if you want to change your password. We don't have screensavers loaded.

    Hi, my name is JP and I'm a dumb user. (they say the 1st step is admitting you have a problem. They never mention what the 2nd step is )

    If there's one thing worse than a dumb user, it's a dumb user with a redundancy issue! AND HERE I AM!!!!!!!!

    LOL JPnyc people who don't realise what you're doing will think you've gone slightly weird

    FYI I'm getting two notifications for every post in this thread, so we're experimenting with me subscribing/unsubscribing

    I unsubscribed, got no notifications at all (I checked the thread manually), then I subscribed again, because basically I want to see replies in that thread. Once I resubscribed, I got two notificatons once more. Seemingly they aren't sent together, because I've only got one notification for this reply for instance - but I'm sure it won't be long before I have another.

    Edit Yes, I have two. Strangely, once I read one, the second one is marked read. That is, it arrived in my inbox in "read" state. When I have two that I haven't opened at all, they're both unread until I open one, then the other goes to being marked read.

    Starting to sound like an email provider glitch.
