Limited User Account problem

Guest

Can someone help with this problem, pls? I have a network of 11 Dell PCs
running XP Pro. They are all connected to a wireles router. They can all
connect to the internet and browse without problem, but only if I have logged
in as Administrator and switched user. If not, and the first and only log in
is by a limited user account, then the user can't type into the address bar
of IE, loses the Start menu and can't view the log off screen long enough to
click anything.

As a school, I don't want to keep logged in and it means i need to assign
admin rights to teachers so they can log in and switch user before lessons.
This is a huge security risk as they keep letting students see their password.

Many thanks for any help.

This may have to do with the wireless router and its associated software.
You may want to check the website of the manufacturer and especially any
software that is installed along with it. I have had problems with 2wire
Home Portal devices and limited user accounts.
