Multi-User Computer Dilemma w/ MSAS

[Keith Lewis]

A client of mine has XP Home on a Dell. SHe has three
identities set up in XP with "Cheryl" as Administrator. The
other identities are "Heather" and "Bruce". The problem
she is having is that after running MSAS, Bruce's access
rights are completely blocked he cannot change wallpaper or
anything. The Heather account is unaffected wallpaper
changes, etc. Normally with Pro edition, I would just
change the access rights, but I cannot seem to find a way
to do this in Home Edition. Any help or advice in this
matter would be much appreciated.

There are a few ways to manage NTFS access rights in the Windows XP Home
Edition. Two simpliest are:
- run winfile.exe from lates Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack (i.e. SP6a)
- start Windows XP HE in the Safe mode with networking - and use the
automagically appearing Security tab in Windows Explorer.

try this it's powerful but works for many things

go to run and type in gpedit.msc

in the group policy window that pops up you can give or deny many permissions to the users and groups on the computer I reccomend a restore backup point before this in case of mistakes as well as a registry backup
good luck
