I have Norton's Internet Security 2006. In order to the personal firewall to
allow AOL to connect it must be configured. The account is a limited user
account. I need to be logged on with administrator access but still be a
limited user. I read somewhere about a "secondary logon" that would allow me
to be in a limited user account and yet still be able to log on with my
admin. rights. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am unsure of how to
configure the norton's and yet still have my brother set up with limited use.

Am I correct in assuming that you have never connected with NIS as an
administrator?

If so, I would upgrade your current account to administrator level, connect
to the internet via AOL and get the configuration set, and then downgrade
your account back to Limited.

I run daily as Limited, but frequently need to do this when installing new
software to assure that the necessary registry entries and configuration
details are properly written.
