Re: Limited Accounts

When I go into user accounts via control panel, I only see options to create
a limited account or administrator. How do I add this other admin account
which is different from the system admin?

Hi,

It is best to not run daily off of the System Admin account. Can't
imagine using a Limited account for daily operation. Add another admin
account and save the system admin for emergencies.

I have a pc with XP Pro. I am the sole user of this pc and for years have
heard for safety, you should have two user accounts, 1 admin and 1 limited
account. Most days you should work under the limited account and the only
time to use the admin account is when you want to install software.

I thought I would try that and it works fine for the most part. My only
concern are the automated Windows critical updates and the anti-virus
definition updates. They don't automatically happen under the limited
account. Is there any way to give the limited account permissions to
allow certain updates to occur?

Thank you
