Okay. I tried it, but I got the same result. I did notice that when I used
ctrl-alt-del and changed the user name to administrator, the logon message I
got says "Unable to log you on because of an account restriction."

I have not done anything unique with my user accounts. No passwords, no
special restrictions. I just set two accounts up one for me and one for my
wife.

Any other ideas?
