The answer for both questions is the same, to modify the local group policy
on the computer. 1. Start | Run | mmc 2. File | Add/Remove Snapin... 3. Add... 4. Group Policy Object Editor 5. Add 6. Finish 7. Close 8. Ok 9. Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Accounts: Rename administrator account 10. Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL "bill" wrote in message ... how can i change the name of the administratir yser acct, in xp pro? it always comes up now and i want to rename it but do not have that option and i cant find where to set up ctl alt delete stop thanks |

I have the similar problem... I tried what you said and when I got to Finish,
it said that access was denied. It also didn't have just "Group Policy" My room-matewent out of town and let his brother keep the PC..his brother is very good with computers, where my roommate is not. I was asked to fix some problems with it because his brother left town (to where?) I was able to get to the CTRL + ALT + DEL sing in once.. what do I do now. He has it set up to where Users have Limited Accounts. I can't Add/Remove, run Defrag, ... Nothing PLEASE HELP!! -- Talitha "Alltel News" wrote: The answer for both questions is the same, to modify the local group policy on the computer. 1. Start | Run | mmc 2.

You simply need to smile and tell him/her that you aren't qualified to fix his machine. Or wait until the brother is back. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

I have the password now, but I have to CTRL + ALT + DEL at Windows start up
screen.... I was able to get there once before I had the pass word, but now I can't get back. Is there a specific time I to press CTRL + ALT + DEL twice? -- Talitha "Malke" wrote: Talitha wrote: I have the similar problem...

If the computer is set up to require users to press Ctrl-Alt-Del to log on, do so and type in your user name and password. If you don't want to have the classic logon box, go to the User Accounts applet and enable the Welcome Screen.
