Win XP, Dell deminision 8400, IE 8, Office 2003, Cable Internet...... I
have hardened my computer within the last few weeks and am now using a
limited user account when surfing the internet and for usual duties not
needing administrator priviledges .....i had previously made a shortcut for
my network connection (administrator account) and was able to enable/disable
my internet connection, which i usually disabled at night. But now that i am
using the limited account i can not longer enable/disable the connection
using the shortcut.......so my question is how do i change this and permit
the limited user account to enable/disable the network connection by the
shortcut.

Thanks in advance for any and all help with this matter.
 
Tap the F8 key on pc start-up,safe-mode,enter xp as administrator,reset
the connection..Also,surfing the internet is wise with a limited
account,however
you should create an administrative account for privilages & other problems.
 
You should always use an admin account for disabling or enabling, Limited
accounts are not designed to allow this.
 
Thanks for the quick reply...... how do you "reset the connection". Yes
surfing the net in a limited user account is the smart way to go and yes i do
have a admin account password protected but its a pain to have to switch back
and forth to enable/disable the network connection.
