New Oh, and 64-bit Win7 Home doesn't have secpol.msc
One part of the "fixes" for networking and printing from Win7 to OSX involves making sure that that the LAN Manager Authentication Level is changed to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated". http://forums.macrum...read.php?t=776672

Of course, Home versions of Winders, like on my new Toshiba R835-P88, don't have that.

So I can't print to our Lexmark printer on the Mini from my Toshiba laptop running Win7 without sending MS $65 to upgrade to Win7 Pro. Naturally XP Home on a Lenovo netbook didn't have these issues.

Grr...

Cheers,
Scott.
(Who thinks he will be spending more time with Linux on the Toshiba...)

The .msc files are just management console snap-ins. I think I may be able to locate one somewhere (or the gpedit superset).

Tasteful, translucent, understated...it was the most charming, pleasant system crash I've ever experienced.
