We have several PC's running Windows 2000. All of these machines have an administrator account and several power user and user accounts. Many of the power users have had their accounts temporarily changed to administrator level accounts, in order to install software or add hardware. They are then changed back to a power user level, and Windows goes to pot. Some of them lose internet connectivity, many email clients no longer function, etc.

Any ideas/remedies of what causes this in 2000 and XP?

Thanks,
Lisa

Each user or/and group account has its own rights and permissions.

Group your common elements: installations & configurations from pure user-level usage.

So, place the relevant user account(s) in the appropriate group(s) with its service assignment. Issues are resolved.

I hope this helps!
