    Ok, coupla questions.  I understand where you're coming from with the
link, but

    1.  It applies to Windows 2000 Server & Advanced Server only
        [I'm running Windows XP Professional SP1]
    2.  The issue was apparently resolved in Win2K SP2 (which was
        released more than a year ago...SP3 is the latest for Win2K
        at this point).
    3.  Ummmm...how exactly does one switch 'Terminal Services' to
        'Application Server' mode?  For that matter, how do you see
        what mode it's in?  All I see is an NT service, like
        any other (e.g., Cygwin IPC Daemon), and I don't notice
        anything obvious in the Registry settings for that service
        (HKLM\System\CCS\Services\TermService).  This is normally a
        DO NOT TOUCH type service.  You leave it be, and let it do
        its thing.
