Well let me say I appreciate your answer because that is helping.

Although, I would appreciate it even more if you left out your relentless comments, one example "which is it it can't be both."

I get a kick out of people who have to criticize to feel good. Especially where its not necessary (like a forum to help people.)

This is where I stop seeking help from forums like this. They seem to be filled with people and there bad personalities. Instead of people who just want to help.

I started this same exact thread on another site and it is quite different (much more friendly people).

Thread closed for me.

Both of you, please cool down.

@bigbutt100: The first question from frans wasn't meant sarcastically, or anything (at least in my understanding), but based on the simple fact that in the beginning you posted in an UNIX forum of this site. If I'd seen & moved it sooner, he wouldn't even have asked.

@Corona688: Please give new users the benefit of doubt. I can't imagine that you did everything right from the beginning on every forum and site you've joined. Yes, he posted in the wrong forum at the start, but I don't think it was because he intended to. As for

Which is it? It can't be both.
Why can't it be both? The two factors are not causally connected.

Here's a script Harris that uses the Windows 2000 Resource Kit tool Cusrmgr.exe to change the Local Administrator Password. You can do more with this tool, but the script will only change the Local Administrator password. Once you compile the script as an EXE file, you can run it through SMS with Local Admin rights.

Danger, Will Robinson!! Don't ever run any program of a web site that tells you it'd change the Administrator password.

Also, what does changing the Administrator password have to do with the issue posted?

Any chance of starting a clean thread? Needs to mention the Windows version(or versions) involved, whether each is workstation or server, and whether all the filesystems involved are NTFS. I guess that these are not Microsoft Office files?

The archive method is unclear bearing in mind that some backup software does not like passworded files.

MySQL RE: a windows password script

Ok guys this is not that much of a big deal. I hate to make you guys think so much seeing how complex this seems to be.

I will look forward to a program that will just install a script and provide the "attach password" in the right-click context menu. Cross OS compatibility and NTFS/FAT/FAT32 would be important.

I will check back to see "Meryl's" ideas or any others but for now you all don't have to post anymore.

Thank you
