re: Administrator/Power user Saturday, May 21, 2005 at 7:21 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by DEX (11847 messages posted) yagi Say what ? If you have run the machine for 18 months as the Admin. all the setting should OK. It sounds like you may have made a 2nd Admin. (new one) you need to Run lusrmgr.msc and take a look around to see what you have done. (power user/2 Admin.) with a new password not the norm unless you want a backup Admin. NOTE**** As the Admin. you can take full control (ownership) of all the files and folders on the machine.. See HELP in win2k I don't think you want to copy the setting from the Power User to the Admin. that will lock you out and you may need to reinstall...
