Default Limited User Account problem

Can someone help with this problem, pls? I have a network of 11 Dell PCs
running XP Pro. They are all connected to a wireles router. They can all
connect to the internet and browse without problem, but only if I have logged
in as Administrator and switched user. If not, and the first and only log in
is by a limited user account, then the user can't type into the address bar
of IE, loses the Start menu and can't view the log off screen long enough to
click anything.

As a school, I don't want to keep logged in and it means i need to assign
admin rights to teachers so they can log in and switch user before lessons.
This is a huge security risk as they keep letting students see their password.

Many thanks for any help.

Mark

Default Limited User Account problem

A key question here is whether you're using the WinXP wireless app, or a
manufacturer's one. Reasonably sure the Windows one will work for limited
users, some others may not.

IIRC most Dells have either Intel or Broadcom cards. The Intel wireless app
is installed by default if it's an Intel card. You can turn off its service
and start the 'Wireless Zero' service - see if that works better.

The wireless card is a Belkin one that I installed.
I've set the wireless to be controlled by Windows.
Doesn't seem to solve the problem though
