User account has administrator rights

[Guest]

The issue is on just one of the computers, access to certain functions that
should be reserved to administrator is allowed when logged in as the user. I
checked everything I can think of and cannot find what is allow this. If I
log in as the same user on a different machine, the user access is normal.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

What kind of function are you talking about ?
Folder access ?
System settings ?

On the machine in question, remove that user's account from the local
Administrators group.

Howard,

I ran into this on a clients machine. They (the client) had orignally had
the user account as an admin acct when they set up the system. They
installed a bunch of stuff, then added another user account and changed the
first user account (w/ admin priv) to restricted.

They too, indicated that they appeared to have admin access on this 'user'
account. The reason was: they were the 'owner' of those files and therefore
'appeared' to have admin priv when a 'restricted' user.
