Ah,

I have created another user on the server and modified the startup 
menu OK.

What I really want to do is logon to the Admin desktop (which is 
already running as part of the auto-login) so I can see all the apps 
running and results/logs etc.

Is this not possible with TS, unlike XP's desktop sharing?

Paul.
