Software settings such as Antivirus is usually a machine
setting. It will apply to all the users who log on to the
machine. One thing you can try is create a batch file
which can disable services (antivirus for one) and run it
at startup for the second login accont (put it in startup
folder) or run it manually with a single account to
terminate unwanted services or program. You can also
create two hardware profiles if you want to disable
certain hardwares to speed up your system.

Hi folks,
I am running XP Home and want to set up two seperate
profiles, one for accessing the internet with Anti Virus
software etc running, the other profile is for CPU and
Hard Drive intensive audio work, therefore i want minimum
behind the scenes activity. How can i set this up?
 
Thanks LG
That makes sense, only problem being i wouldnt have a clue as to the hows and whys of setting up a batch file. Any pointers?

Andy
