XP Home (media center edition to be specific) with three users:
administrator (never used) and two individual accounts, both set with
administrator access.
One of the two user accounts has no issues. The other has all kinds of
restrictions set against the account: can't change the time, can't change
the resolution, can't open properties on My Computer... all of these actions
prompt a message along the lines of "the requested operation can not be
completed because of a policy restriction" (not an exact quote, I am not in
front of that computer at the moment - the gist is that the account is not
recognized as an administrator but seems to be stuck as a restricted user).
This is XP home so there are no domain policies. I have switched the user
from admin to restricted user and back again (rebooting after each change)
using both the other user account and the built in admin account. Searching
for the error message returns hits that are either about:
a) spyware (repeatedly scanned, nothing detected)
b) domain policies (not applicable)
c) IE explorer zone settings (irrelevant since the errors have nothing to do
with IE)
Can anybody shed some light on this situation?
Thanks
