I think I read previously that I should NOT use my Administrator account for
general PC use, but that I should create my own User account for everyday
use. I cannot seem to find this information anywhere. Can someone please
point me in the right direction? Thank you very much. (home PC, 3 wireless
networked PC's, all with XP SP2)
 
Ok - To execute this plan...

Log in to your Current Account. Go to the Control Panel. Click "Show
Classic View". Click "User Accounts". Click "Add Account". Follow the
steps. Then go back, click on the account, click "Change Account type".
Select "Limited Account".

Woila! Done!

P.S - For added security, you should also increase your ActiveX Settings on
IE to a higher level. This will prevent a lot of common threats.

BMR - thanks, but I was looking for the article/help section/discussion that
I think I read previously that told me NOT to use my Admin. account for
everyday use. I am wondering if I really did read such information and if
someone could point out the location where I might read it again.
