RE: [K12OSN] OT- wine and user accounts

Thanks Barry.

I came across a little information on getting this to work on the Wine
site:

http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wineusr-guide/using-regedit

I will give this a shot tomorrow and see if this does the job.  I am a
little hard headed at times, will probably end up with Xover Office
before it's said and done.
