Can someone remind me, please: where do I tell Windows how often
users are required to change their passwords?


First, you will need administrator-level access rights to change the
password-reset time.

Open the Group Policy Editor (or type into the "Run" box) the following :

gpedit.msc

....and press [ok]

Then, navigate to :

Local Computer Policy :- Computer Configuration :- Windows Settings :-
Security Settings :- Account Policies :- Password Policies

[etc.]

Perfect -- thanks, Tim!
