Can user and admin have the same IE?
Hi,
I'd like to have my user account and Administrator account basically use the same IE or same IE "browsing experience", in other words, have the same toolbar menus, same Favorites, etc. Similarly, when I install theGoogle Toolbar as Admin, it is not installed for my user account. Can this be accomplished? (It'd be nice if they could have the same Desktop, too, but one thing at a time - I'd like XP to appear no different between these accounts.) |

Just use the file and settings transfer wizard - collect the settings from
the profile you like, and apply them to the other. They won't keep lined up, however - you'll need to modify both as you want to change them. If you keep two accounts because one is an admin and the other is not (which is a good policy, btw) you may want to play with the runas command - that way, you can keep your one desktop, and just execute some programs using admin access when you need to. -- Chris Jackson Software Engineer Microsoft MVP - Windows Client Windows XP Associate Expert -- More people read the newsgroups than read my email.

Can user and admin have the same IE?
Thanks for the tip.
As I run the wizard it seems that all it is going to do is transfer the settings from my Admin acct to my user acct in a one way transfer. What I'm trying to do is have those either dynamically linked (so that when I add a Favorite as a user, I will see that favorite when I log in as Admin and vice versa) or to use the same instance of IE. I could use the runas command, but I was hoping for something more seemless. I use that now for some programs that require Admin rights, so I'm sorta used to it. -----Original Message----- Just use the file and settings transfer wizard - collect the settings from the profile you like, and apply them to the other.
