Every few weeks my Vista OS asks me to "consider changing your password".
I'd like to either eliminate this requirement or, at the very least, make it
happen less frequently.

Thanks, Don

Rightclick the command prompt icon in Accessories and 'Run as Administrator'
Type "net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited" (without the quotes)

Thanks Mark. I followed your instruction. I assume this will end the
request.
