About the users' accounts in WinXP


Recommended Posts

That *should* work. I am in the same situation: my account has administrator rights, and I am logged into a network domain. But I have no problems; full administrator control (over the local computer).

What are the things you cannot do? Maybe that could give us a hint what's wrong.

For instance, 'Add or Remove programs' is not available within Control Panel.

Question: were these options (in FreshUI) set so when you opened it, or did you change them? If you changed them, you may need to reboot Windows after.

If you did not change them, then I have no more answers. It may be some setting in gpedit, but I am not too familiar with all these options.

Hopefully someone else here has some more ideas.

How did you set up your user as an administrator? Did you set it up through Control Panel > Users , or did you right click My Computer > Manage...? If you did the Control Panel route, then I recommend you login as Administrator (just to make sure you have full rights, of course), right click My Computer (from the desktop), click Manage... You should get a new form to appear called 'Computer Management.' In the left pane, you will see three main folders. The first folder is System Tools. Inside of that, there's a subfolder called Local Users and Groups. Inside of that are two folders, Users then Groups. Go inside the Groups folder, and in the right pane, double click Administrators and make sure your username is also listed in there. If Administrator is the only one listed, click add, type your username, then click Check Names button to the right and click ok. Logout and login as your username and see if that fixed it.
