There is no account called SYSTEM. This name is used by Windows XP. And
Windows definitely needs to be able to access all folders and all files.
Why, then, does Windows XP provide me with the option of denying
permissions to SYSTEM?
And what about Users? If I go to User Accounts in the Control Panel,
I can create two types of accounts - Computer administrator and
Limited account. As such, why not say "Limited accounts" instead of
"Users", assuming that they're even the same thing? Shouldn't the
names be referred to in a consistent manner?
Computer administrator belongs to the administrators group.
The limited user belongs to the users group. They aren't the same at all.
The "Limited account" is one of two /types/ of accounts you can
create. You can have multiple Limited accounts and I, in fact, do.
So if they're not the same, at all, then just what is the difference
between user types and user groups?
