A client of mine has XP Home on a Dell. She has three
identities set up in XP with "Cheryl" as Administrator.
Theother identities are "Heather" and "Bruce". The
problem she is having is that after running MSAS, Bruce's
access rights are completely blocked he cannot change
wallpaper or anything. The Heather account is unaffected
wallpaper changes, etc. Normally with Pro edition, I
would just change the access rights, but I cannot seem to
find a way to do this in Home Edition. Any help or
advice in this matter would be much appreciated.

Tell me how it's not associated as MSAS obviously changed
the settings... They were fine before and after running it
for the first time, that ident is blocked from doing all
but the most basic things.

You are talking about a wallpaper here, which is associated with the desktop
display settings, which limited user accounts are allowed to change. Unless
you are on a corporate network and some group policy editor was set for you
to not do such a thing. Click Tools > Realtime Protection > View All Blocked
Events to see if anything there is blocked.

You can change access rights in Home edition by restarting in safe mode, and
logging in as "administrator"--often with a blank password.

I agree with Andre--this isn't a Microsoft Antispyware issue--you'd be
better off in a group for Windows shell UI issues, I suspect.
