| Subject: XP Home Limited Account Issues
| Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 05:22:02 -0800
| I am having difficulty assisting a friend set up his XP
| Home system with a limited account.
| He has a broadband connection to the Internet and his
| account (ADMIN) works fine, but when I set up another
| account for his family (LIMITED) the Internet is
| unavailable and mail cannot be sent/recieved. I know with
| my XP Pro I have different groups available, but with XP
| Home I don't see a way to alter the setting for a limited
| account.
| Is there a way to configure the Limited account to have
| access to IE and Mail?
|
| Please send any replies to (e-mail address removed)
