When I set my wife and kids up with Limited user account,
programms like Outlook and IE don't work. If I create
Administrator accounts for them everything is fine, but
that defeats the object of having separate accounts ie
ref security of my files. How do I get Limited accounst
to work properly?
Thanks in advance.

window? or the window just quits. I also see you've posted this in =
microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin. Please post the result of =
