There's no difference between NT and W2K which might explain
that.

Are you sure that you have identical settings?

For example if you are using ntsec on W2K while not on NT that
could be a reason. When not using ntsec, the file is identified
as executable by it's magic number `#!'. When ntsec is on, it is
executable only if the executable bit is set in it's security
descriptor.

Just a hint,
Corinna
