I'm surprised Windows XP doesn't get better feedback from users

Whatever...I still have a devil of a time getting my 20 new XP machines to work in a multiuser environment. What are there, some 850 possible permissions? ~sigh

If your using HOME XP it can be a real bitch. However, they did make it a little difficult to connect with servers other than their own even with XP PRO.

My arms are getting tired from doing handstands trying to get permissions right with certain applications.

Hmm, I'm surprised you're having trouble. Are you controlling permissions at the desktop or at the server?

Here, I use groups, put new users into a defined group, and let the server control the desktop permissions.

I have very few issues. I have about 220 W2K boxes, 5 XP and 40 or so NT4 in a "Site" part of a larger 2K Domain. The XP boxes have not had any trouble thus far.

I have a few smaller environments (10 or fewer workstations) mixed O/S (W2K, W98, XP) and solely XP and the only trouble I have had was when the client bought XP home instead of Pro.

Are you running a 20 workstation environment without a domain/Active Directory?
