i have experienced problems when it comes to Limited
users accessing web pages through IE explorer, therefore
changing everyone to an Admin account. i downloaded
Tweak from MS powertools and was able to stop users
viewing my personal documents, but how can i stop them
from changing my account type or deleting it. (not that i
dont trust them) thanx
 
An admin account has full access and rights to the system. What kind of
pages would not open for non-admin accounts?
 
when limited users tried to view web pages, it wouldn't
allow this. so, i change all users to admin accounts so
they could view the web pages. however, Tweak from MS
powertools has a function that stops users viewing my
documents when they try to view them through the my
computer page.
does this make sense?
 
Not particularly...

Question 1: Which operating system are you using? XP Pro?

Question 2: Is your machine configured with NTFS?

Question 3: How were the users "limited" - "limited" as in not
administrators?

Question 4: How comfortable are you with setting security permissions on
folders?

XP HOME EDITION

I do not understand
Click to expand...

1. Go to My Computer
2. Right click on the C: drive icon
3. Select 'Properties'
4. Near the top look for either "FAT32" (or some other FAT) or NTFS
yes, not administrators
Click to expand...

And they couldn't visit _any_ page in MSIE or only certain pages?

No matter... you're certainly old enough to pick all of this up with ease.

they could not visit any page. they got the page could
not be displayed message.
 
I believe the best way to resolve your problem is to post a request for help
in microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser on solving the other
issue - the issue where non-administrators can not browse with MSIE. This
might be a content advisor issue, though I've never messed around with that
much. This is a much easier (and more secure!) way to go than granting
administrator access to everybody on the machine (which is poor practice in
general) then trying to make administrator accounts less-than-administrator.
That's only asking for trouble.
