I have been using the Admin account for all my work and want to go to a
limited (or whatever it's called). I currently have three accounts: Administrator, All Users, and Default. Can I use the Default account for my everyday use? If so how do I rename it, or do I copy it to a new account? Etc., Etc. ? Thanks, Jim H |

If your saw this in the Documents and Settings folders they do not represent actual account (with the exception of Administrator). They are used for profile creation for new user accounts and for the generation of Start Menu items that are common to all user profiles. If you wish to create another user account then the admin one you are using then do so. In the control panel User accounts applet. -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions, please use these newsgroups "James Harper" wrote in message hlink.net...

The others are not accounts but used to share Start menu and desktop icons or creation of new profiles. See User Accounts in control panel to create a new user for everyday use.
