Granting a limited login admin rights

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

My XP has two login ids. One has admin rights (admin type) and the other
does not (limited type).

On occasion I want to make the limited one have admin rights. I would do
this by logging in as admin and changing the limited one to be an admin
type. This doesn't seem to make a difference.

Is there something I should be doing using Local Security Policy?

Thanks!
