So my profile should fill in the above for me.... *finds out*

Although there is more to this post I'm making, I have stumbled onto one of those problems that are a pain in the butt to actually search for cause of the vast results and crummy tutorials you get!

Assuming you can call this a problem, I have recently become much more interested in my Windows XP Professional Security settings, especially now I have an IIS gizmo running, and to feel safer on our little network ^_^

I don't expect you to run it all through with me, just if you know of any links throw them my way and I'll check them out!

It's just I'm looking at the Users and Groups section, and somehow A Million bizare user names has spawned over time, and I would like to "Clean Up" as it be, tie up the lose ends! And figure out how to use the groups and such...

Thanks Alot! ^_^

Wait! Never Mind ^_^ I Forgot all about the gizmos in the Control Panel under Administrative Tools, and now I'm understanding the whole users and groups thing, suprisingly easy to sort out... I just got one more question unrelated to security though:
Do I have to add users to log into my computer, with the same names of other PC's on the network to let them in? I'm beginning to think they might just go through the Guest Account I just activated... Or the User account.
