[PCTECH] Trying again - Windows XP Pro "Security/User Setup" Question(s)

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

Originally posted this a week ago and didnât get any feedback so Iâll try 
again â

JUST starting to get PC's in with Windows XP Pro. We have a mix, but the 
majority of PC's currently are W2K Pro. In that you have the Administrator 
account and then you can obviously create a User account and have as
choices:

Standard

Restricted

Other

And you can pretty well "tailor" things within those.

In XP Pro you set the "boot" Administrator/password and the have to setup up a 
PC "Administrator" and then can create a "User" account. And when you do this 
you get:

Computer administrator

Limited

So what is the correlation between W2K Pro and XP Pro ?

I'm "thinking" the Computer administrator on XP Pro is not near as powerful as 
the Administrator on W2K Pro - is that correct ? They even say that if stuff 
won't run, etc. as Limited then choose Computer administrator. 

So maybe I am thinking of XP Pro in the wrong light - Administrator on W2K Pro 
is the "boot" Administrator on XP Pro and then the "regular user" on W2K Pro is 
the Computer Administrator on XP Pro ?

Thanks for any help !

Chuck
