netstruggler - Thank you ! you have it in one. The new user i/d suggestion is good commonsense ... but this is Windoze that we are dealing with !
I have tried le Pingouin's routine three times (with variations such as changing user security policy ) and each has been refused "Windows cannot remove the password. Password and/or account policies require the account to have a password"
I suspect that I shall have to give in gracefully and accept, yet again ...
Windows 1 : Commonsense 0
