      User Accounts

      In XP, I would like to set up an account for myself and my mother on the same PC. Firstly, I know there has to be at least 1 Computer Administrator to do this but when I set up her account it says that she is also a Computer Administrator and this is not necessary, how do you overcome this? Also, when I am logged in as myself, on the start menu it says Administrator - I think this looks ugly as well as when i boot the system... how can I change this to show my name and not ADMINISTRATOR? Thanks.

      this is one of the simplest ways to do this:
      go to your control panel & you will see an icon by the name of "user accounts".
      Open it & just double click the account you want to change or work with.
      So say for your mom her guest account is "mom". Click & open it & you will see the option:
      Change the account type. <-- there you can change her from admin level to limited level.

      Same things goes with your account. You can open it & once in you will have a bunch of options. There you can change the name too.

      Good luck
