RE: performance with multi users?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Actually it was always recommended to have xp with at least 2 users in
the system,the user(s) dont slow xp,having a user running as an Administrator
seems to have somewhat of multiple negative effects though.With a user
running in "limited account" alot of services are turned off or not
available.
