Bob,

Click Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2", and click Ok.
Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option, and click Ok.

it is NOT good practice to use the built-in Administrator
log in for every day use. This is your ONLY way of
accessing your machine if your user log-in goes belly up
short of a repair install. Create a user account, give it
admin rights and THEN do what Ramesh advised. I am
surprised that Ramesh, being MVP did not mention this.

why bother since your the only one...

Totally agree to your point, Gordon. But the OP might be referring to his account [admin equivalent] as they say "I am the only one who uses my computor". But, I can see your point here.

Ramesh,

How do I set up the "user" account to have the same rights as the
administrator. I've tried to do that and have not succeeded. For instance
the administrator can look at the tempory internet/content.ie5/numered
folders, while the user cannot. I want the user to be able to look at the
same files as the administrator. There are a lot of files that the user gets
a "no access" flag.
any thoughts?

Thanks,

Bob

My setup has 2 user accounts that have administrator priveledges and there
are no files or folders I can't navigate or manipulate that I have run into
except, of course, for system files in use etc...

You can create/change the user account type to Administrator, via Control Panel User accounts.

>> tempory internet/content.ie5/
These folders will be present in each user profile.

>>"no access" flag.
Which files/folders? You may need to take ownership of those files.

Ramesh,
Let me give you two examples and the reason for the original inquiry.

1.) The folder id90fd68etc, sub folder SP2, when accessed by the user "Bob",
listed in the adminstrator group, gets a "access denied" flag. When accessed
after logging on as adminstrator, I get access, a sub folder SP2 and another
subfolder Update.

2.) I have moved the Temporary Internet Files to the C:\ location. When I
endeavor to access the folder C:\Temporary Internet Files, as user "Bob" I
can't find any subfolders. When accessing the same folder as adminstrator I
get 5 subfolders, one of which is content.ie5, which contains 4 subfolders
and the index.dat file.

When logged on as user "Bob" I see the folder c:\System Volume Information
folder. (which has a virus infected file (per symamtec scan) A0000394.com.
When I try to access this folder I get a "access is denied' flag. When I log
on as adminstrator The System Volume Information folder is "not" there?

Thanks for your help'

Bob
