And for benefit of the uninitiated reading the above, this is an extremely bad thing to do by default. It's something you might do for special circumstances, but not in the normal run of things. NB: Log-in is not sped up, it still takes the same amount of time. You're just not being asked to authenticate. We know security is not a consideration with Karl, he's already been remote hacked for that attitude, quite some time ago. And still hasn't resolved the issue, going by another message that he's recently posted. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
