hi, I want to know how I change between 2 domain easily. The current method is to change the domain at My Computer properties, then I have to restart the PC to take effect. Later when i want to change back, i have to do the same and restart my PC. Do i have make two installation of XP and choose which one to logon? If then I need to restart everytime!

Next is, whenever a domain membership is changed, XP prompts for a username & password. During the NT/W2k time, any normal user's ID can do, but with XP, normal user i.e. only logon privelege cannot provide ID to change domain membership and therefore require a admin level ID to make the change. Is there a easily way to look into this long winded method
Thanks
 
Unfortunatly there is no way around this. Current versions of Windows did
not have this particular design consideration in mind when it was created.
This might be added to future versions but for now the process you have
described is how it works right now.
