Some weeks ago, I downloadad some kindof "gina.dll" stub modified to compile properly in BCB, I'll start with that and see where it takes me, probably, I'll scream for help regarding this later on.. ;) One thing though, will Windows Automatic Updates (WSUS) go berserk if it doesn't recognize the "made-by-me" gina.dll ? (I have seen that WSUS sometimes has problems with my NTOSKRNL.EXE which has a few modified Windows startup images). /Mathias > HTH, > Mike C
