Interactive login privalidge has been disabled.

[kazzybee]

I have setup 4 users on a stanalone PC, with 2 users having
administrator rights. All 4 persons could login & then all of a sudden
only 3 were allowed to login, the 4th gets the message "Interactive
login privalidge has been disabled.". The 4th person had password
protection & this was all done correctly. I have setup another account
for the 4th person and that works fine but I cannot get into the
disabled desktop to rescue appropriate files.

Can anyone tell me why this has happened and if I can rectify the
situtaion please. OS is Win XP (I dont think it has SP2 downloaded) but
alll the logins worked fine for months & then the one just became
disabled.

I am a newbie to having to go into things in depth, so if there is a
way round this/solution could you guide me step by step please.

Many thanks in advance.Kind regards

Is this XP Home or XP Pro? For XP Pro you can use secedit.msc in the run box
while logged on as an admistrator to open Local Security Policy and go to
local policies/user rights and make sure users shows in the user right to
logon locally and that the user right for deny logon locally does not
contain the user name or a group that the user is a member of. You can use
the command net user username with the real username of course to see the
group membership of the user. You may also be able to fix the problem by
doing a system restore to a point in time before this ever happened. You can
go to all programs/accessories/system tools/system restore while logged on
as an administrator to start the System Restore Wizard.

Dear Steve
Thank you so much for your reply and for talking me through it. I
believe the PC is XP Pro so I shall try this & let you know in due
course.
Kind regards
