Differing logon environments

Hello,
I have a need to create two administrator accounts on the machine. One I
want to boot with a normal startup environment, the other I want to boot
with no services and no startup environment.

Now, I used msconfig.exe to create the startup environment when logged
into the account I want to be stripped. It reboots and has the environment I
want. However, when I reboot into the regular administrator account, I find
that it is affected by the changes made to the stripped account.

I tried creating a power user with admin rights, boot into it, reran
msconfig--but my regular admin account is also affected.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Troy
 
I think there is some confusion here.
The machine gets booted, not the account.
Once the machine is up one logs in and based on the account used
some things can be specifically configured. However, if such things
include for example changing a service from automatic to manual,
that change is a change of the machine configuration. Such a change
is not tied to the account used to log in. Similarly, if one logs in with
one
account and runs something that stops a number of services and then
logs off and in with a different account then those services will still be
stopped.
