Workstation Service not starting?

Hi Steve,

You can create batch file that will start the workstation service. You must
put the

net start "Workstation"

in a batch file and run it. User will need admin rights (unless you change
this in Group Policy). You can also put this script in startup script...

The main question remains, why doesn't it start. Are there any information
in Event Log that might tell why Workstation service is not starting?
