Re: Windows XP Professional User Account Security
Is this Windows XP Home or XP Pro?
Is this a brand new installation that you just now made? After using a
rgistry cleaner there is no saying what that thing broke or what other
problems might crop up later on. If it is a new install I reccomend
that you do another clean reinstall and not use registry cleaners on the
installation!

This is a home computer, used in a Workgroup. I set up my account first, as

Computer Administrator. I can use and access all folders and programs w/out
error. My wife cannot. When she tries to open c:\Program Files, she gets a
File Not Accessible error window. I have, via Windows "User Accounts",
deleted her account completely. I ran EasyCleaner to wipe out any extraneous
registry keys. I've rebooted the PC. Then I added another new Computer
Administrator account, using a completely unique name. Rebooted and opened
the new account, and I get a "Please wait wile Windows is being configured"
window. C:\Program Files is still not accessible. I have a feeling that I
messed up a security setting somewhere, but I don't know where.
Any ideas?
