This would close a lot of the security holes. ROFLMAO! Okay, yer not serious, right? XP, by default, on a clean install, makes the 1st user an *administrator*. You got it bass ackwards, d00d, it was the other way around. Windows finally caught up with *nix by actually making it a bit easier for the user to create 'limited' accounts, before that you had to be a power user to even *know how to create limited accounts*. XP doesn't 'force' anything of the sort. Joe, you really need to read more carefully.  I'll let you look at my initial post (at the top) again so you can figure it out for yourself... - Jack
