I just got a new laptop and this is the first time i have had XP PRO (i have
had XP HOME and 2000 before).
I have 2 questions:
1. I want the built-in "Administrator" account to be the Admin and "Chris"
to be a limited user. But XP wont let me take admin priviledges away from
"Chris", even when I am logged into the "Administrator" account ("limited
account" is greyed out in the User Accounts control panel). I need to set up
a third account, give it admin priviledges, and then take them away from
"Chris" to have it the way I want it. It's like XP dosen't count
"Administrator" and having admin priviledges. Why the need for 3 accounts?
Is there a way around this?
2. Even once I did that, and made "Chris" a limited account, Norton AV2004
complains at logon about not having priviledges. Is there a way to make
Norton AV2004 shut up, or can I give "Chris" priviledges for certain things,
but not others, to keep the account safer? Also, is there a solid tutorial
out there for configuring user accounts with GPEDIT? I want to customize the
security for the limited account, but I don't want to mess with things until
i RTFM.
OK, that's more like 3 questions. Thanks.
