Sharing a computer with use of passwords
At home, I have an Lap Top running XP home. On this we have four accounts.
Myself and my wife have "administrator" accounts with password protection and the children have a normal account each again with passport protection. Both my wife and I can remove the passport protection status but then it has gone and a new password will be needed. Am I right in thinking that there is no other way to see what our children are doing appart from taking away the password which they would see when then next tried to log on?? -- Alan Vännäs Sweden |

Sharing a computer with use of passwords
I am not sure what you mean by see what they are doing but if you mean that
you want to see what is in their folders then an administrator can always gain access to any folder on the computer in XP Home. The administrator may first need to take "ownership" of the folder and then give themselves permissions to the folder. The link below explains in much more tail. --- Steve http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308418 "Alan" wrote in message ... At home, I have an Lap Top running XP home.
