Howdy,

I have a user that has done something to his machine but
he wont tell me what he has done. but if he is a memeber
of the administrators group he can log into the machine
with his domain account but if he is not the
administrator of his machine when he puts in his user
name and password to log into the domain he gets "saving
settings" and go back to the CTRL-ALT-Del screen, help I
dont want him to be the admin of his machine

Sounds like ntfs/registry permissions were changed somewhere - maybe on his profile.
Check that he has full control permissions to his profile or delete his profile after
backing up necessary data and have him logon again to create a new profile. If that
does not help, permissions may have been changed on the \winnt folder structure.
Check Event Viewer for any clues. You could try to use secedit to reset security
settings back to defined levels as described in KB link below. You might want to
reinstall as this guy sounds like a Bozo. --- Steve
