Click Start, and in the quick search box, type in

Local Security

and you'll see it find Local Security Policy (assuming you have the quick
search box enabled in your start menu). Press Enter to launch it directly.

Still don't see anything. I've tried every way I know how to search in
Vista, but still no Local Security Policy.

Which version of Vista are you using. If you are using Either one of the
Home versions, most of the .MSC tools are not available in that version.

If there are no .msc tools in the home versions, what can you do?

Most of the options in Local Security Policy and Group Policy Editor can be
configured using direct registry edits in the Home versions of Vista.

What are you wanting to do?

Re: Map Network drive fails user & password

When trying to map a network drive connection, the wizard accepts the
network path, asks me to log on (using the UN and PWD that I have set up), I
type it in and the computer automatically changes the UN (from jade to
jades-laptop\jade). It does this even when I request for it to log on with a
different UN and PWD. Then I get the following error message:

"Log on unsucessful. Windows is unable to log you on. Be sure that your user
name and password are correct"

Is the Microsoft position seriously that if users of Vista Home want to
connect to a local network drive and have their connection
automatically restored on re-start, they have to manually perform
registry changes themselves?

Astonishing. And rather a step backwards from XP....

It depends on which version of XP you are referring to?

My comment,

"Most of the options in Local Security Policy and Group Policy Editor can be
configured using direct registry edits in the Home versions of Vista."

Was about the Local Security Policy and Group Policy Editor not being
available in the Home versions of Vista. These tools were also not available
in the Windows XP Home version. They were only available in the XP Pro
version. Since the upgrade from XP Pro is to either Vista Business, or
Ultimate, then nothing has really changed.

Using the registry to make modifications in the XP Home version was the
normal procedure since these tools were not available.
