I recently updated my Novell Client from 4.83 to Netware client 4.9 on
a Dell PC running Windows XP Pro and now am having problems seeing the
tree which apparently Novell has posted some patches for. The problem
is the PC is booting into windows automatically with a limited user
account. When I boot into safe mode the PC boots automatically into
that same limited user account and I when I log off it brings me right
back into windows with that same limited user account. I need to get
in as an Administrator so I can apply the patches but can't figure out
how. Anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks in Advance.
 
One easy way would be to add a password to the account that Windows uses to
automatically log in at startup. That way you'll get a login screen when it
boots ...or try Start/Run: TWEAKUI [ENTER] if you have powertoys installed
and see the Logon/Autologon section.
