Juan has an answer in front of him, but not necessarily THE answer. There
might be some system setting that can easily be changed to make that option
available. A broken system can't be trusted to tell you the truth about
what it can or can't do.

Having a Microsoft KB article that spells it out would be sufficient to make
one realize it can't be done.
