   It does.  Upgrades however do not apply the same security as clean =
installs.  They can't without the risk of breaking things.  The machine =
admin can apply any of the security templates after the upgrade.

  So you are saying that if I "slipstream" an \i386 directory with the
  SP3 install command that I posted, and then burn those files to CD,
  and then use that CD to install W2K on a new machine, that the
  registry security will be different than if I installed from the
  original CD and then applied SP3?    Hope that makes sense .

  Is so, sounds like a bug.  Microsoft's slipstream process should
  update installation config files as well as other source files.
