Hi Baz,
NT actually remembers the last state on a user by user basis. Set it on if you
want it on - it will be that way for you forever more whenever you logon - even
if the BIOS is set to 'off'
The storage of state is help ina registry key somewhere in HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
but I can't remember where off the top of my head. Ordinarily there is no point
in changing it anyway - the system takes care of this for you :-)
Calvin.
