Hi,
I have a very similar problem, a lot of which I see posted here. However,
my problem only affects one user. I can login into the other user accounts,
and I check the registry and the registry entry as noted in the article is
correct; there is no mention of wsaupdater.
The other account I log into is the Administrator Account and the orginal
problem account I have is called Owner, which is also an Administrator.
The major problem I have, aside from not being able to access Owner, is that
the Administrator seems to have been limited in some way that is not apparent
to me. I can for example write or delete new files most ANYWHERE on the
computer. Even when I check file rights and take complete ownership, there
seems to be something overriding these settings I can not see.
I am REALLY wanting to recover the Owner account, because this is where I
have 100's of application settings I can not get to, but short of that I
would work with the Administrator account if it wasn't somehow being limited.
Any ideas on how to get into Owner, or reclaim true Administrator rights for
Administrator?
I found that my son was messing with Local Security settings in Control
Panel and I BELIEVE some Group settings, but what could possibly overtake the
Administrator rights in such a way?
