Logon Accounts Not Working

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

All,

We are looking to use WSS for our intranet...but I have come across a
problem.

We were trying to get FrontPage 2003 to work against the site but everytime
I tried to access the site it would constantly ask for a user name and
password. Nothing that I did seemed to work so we had a sys admin log in
useing an administrator aco*** and everything seemed to work fine. We went
back and fixed some security issues and that, so we thought was that.

However, when testing the site I noticed that whenever I amde an
announcement change it would list the change being done by the admin account
(from above). I went in and removed all accounts from the sharepoint site,
except for my own, and the system still logs me in as the admin with full
admin rights to the site.

In addition we have another person here who can log onto the site and he is
also granted full admin rights even though his account is not been added to
the sharepoint site.

I read a forum/blog/newsgroup somewhere that stated I should go and load
Internet Explorer...open the Tools menu...Security Tab...Custom Level button
and scrool all the way to the bottom and change "User Authentication" from
automatic logon to "Prompt for user name and password".

If i do this it asks me everytime for my credentials but if I go in and
reset the user authentication to "Automatic logon only in Intranet zone" I
am back to where I started. Also nothing I do on the other guys computer
seems to work. he can log onto the site as himself and has full admin rights
regardless of where this setting is at.

Thanks

dan
