XP Home to Pro User Accounts

[Guest]

I have upgraded an XP home machine to Pro SP2. One of the features I was
hoping to get was the extral level of access for a user like Win2000 gives.
(Full, standard and limited.) Only have Full and limited. So two questions.
1.) Can I fix this on the current machine and 2.) if not, besides doing a
clean install is there an option that will correct this for our other XP home
computers? -Dennis-

Using the Users tool in Control Panel, only offers Limited and Adminsitrator. Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 In the User's tab, you can assign other "group memberships".

Thanks, that did it. But why would they not put something like this in the
Admin Uti's section of the control panel. Beats me!

It actually is, under Computer Management, Local Users and Groups.
