I think MMC is something different to RDC isn't it ? I don't think MMC
has
any relation to running Cortex on one PC and accessing via RDC from
another.
Or is this more windows functionality that I reluctantly need to know about
?

I'm getting older and more technophobic ...

Will shortly turn off fast user switching and see it has an effect on the
RDC/Cortex start issue. Have to go into the loft to do this, so some delay
...

Cheers,

David
