How do you set up the Administrator account in WinXP Home
I have a friend who is elderly and lets her friends and grand children use her computer. They always seem to screw it up. I thought if I set up an Administrator account on the machine I could preserve the new install. Thanks.

Control Panel -> User accounts.
Set up "Limited Accounts" for all users that you don't want to mess with settings  Tom

You can also assign passwords to each user accounts and can also assign a password to your admin account.
Try to keep your password as complex as possible. |
