I've been advised that it's best not to have users accounts be members of
the Administrators group For security reasons. With this in mind, I've
limited user accounts (currently just mine), but when I log on as
Administrator, all my desktop/folder/etc. settings are back to the Windows
XP defaults (as I'd expect, but not as I'd like). The problem is that the
same programs that normally start when I log on as myself also start up. I
don't understand why this is and it's certainly a bit of a pain as the main
reason I'd log on as Administrator now is to install a new program or
perform some other admin task that would not require any of my normal
programs running.
Is it possible to disable these items so I get a clean log on?
Only one item is located in Current User\Start Menu group and some in
Current User\Windows Registry\Run, so these aren't a problem. However, most
are located in All Users\Start Menu group and some in users\Windows
Registry\Run and these are the ones I need to change.
Problem is I have no idea how to do this. Can you help?
