I'm totally new to nt4, so could I ask what thingy I click and
what to change to enable this ntsec thing?  The previous poster
mentioned that he'd been able to use the control panel, but I see
no cygwin icon when I bring up the control panel... perhaps he's
not using nt.  Is the registry thing what I need to change?  If so,
how does one change it?

If this stuff is discussed in a beginners guide to nt, or a help
file that I just need to read, then a pointer would be very welcome.

Thanks.
