Re: XP desktop haywire after removing user from Domain Admins

Try running the Change User Permissions wizard from the User node of
standard management. Make them all "users".

Have them log off, and back on.

Help! Strange thing just happened. Late last night I realized the Domain
Users was a member of Domain Admins!! So, I removed domain Users from
Domain admins.

First thing this morning, a user logs in and something drastic happened to
his desktop:
- No program icon in the Start menu (but all menu choices still there)
- Background image changed to blue screen
- Outlook crashes on atartup, says SEND to Microsoft, but send fails
- Internet access and several drives access fine
- McAfee AV

I added user back to Domain Admins to see if it resolves and it did not.
Any ideas? Is this a profile problem? If so, I'm unsure how to revert
back to the one her was using. I don't believe we have roaming profiles,
nor do we particularly need them. His Profile tab on his user account is
blank.

Thanks for any thoughts or ideas!
