hiding accounts from other admin users

[jamie oneill]

i have experienced problems when it comes to Limited
users accessing web pages through IE explorer, therefore
changing everyone to an Admin account. i downloaded
Tweak from MS powertools and was able to stop users
viewing my personal documents, but how can i stop them
from changing my account type or deleting it. (not that i
dont trust them) thanx

An admin account has full access and rights to the system. What kind of
pages would not open for non-admin accounts?

when limited users tried to view web pages, it wouldn't
allow this. so, i change all users to admin accounts so
they could view the web pages. however, Tweak from MS
powertools has a function that stops users viewing my
documents when they try to view them through the my
computer page.
does this make sense?

Not particularly...

Question 1: Which operating system are you using? XP Pro?

Question 2: Is your machine configured with NTFS?

Question 3: How were the users "limited" - "limited" as in not
administrators?

Question 4: How comfortable are you with setting security permissions on
folders?

1. Go to My Computer
2. Right click on the C: drive icon
3. Select 'Properties'
4. Near the top look for either "FAT32" (or some other FAT) or NTFS

And they couldn't visit _any_ page in MSIE or only certain pages?

No matter... you're certainly old enough to pick all of this up with ease.

I believe the best way to resolve your problem is to post a request for help
in microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser on solving the other
issue - the issue where non-administrators can not browse with MSIE. This
might be a content advisor issue, though I've never messed around with that
much. This is a much easier (and more secure!) way to go than granting
administrator access to everybody on the machine (which is poor practice in
general) then trying to make administrator accounts less-than-administrator.
That's only asking for trouble.
