I am fairly new to this so be gentle. I am running xp pro as sole Administrator. On occasion I receive errors saying I don't have the right permissions. Where do I find permissions and how do I adjust? I'm only one on machine. You can email lorenk1@suddenlink to help me if this is too roopkie to be said here. Thanks. Loren

Hello,

You can go into the Start Menu > Control Panel > User Accounts

From there you can add users and change permissions of users.

via Administrative Tools/Local Policies/User Rights Assignments. Read and think through these options carefully before making changes however, as "Uncle Billy" (MS) uses some rather bizarre language here.

Administrative Tools does not by default display in the Start/Programs menu, but you can reach it through Control Panel. If you want to display it in Start/Programs, right-click in the taskbar, select Properties. If you are using the default XP GUI, select Customize/Advanced tab. Then scroll to the bottom and click the "Display on the All Programs menu" radio button. If you are using Windows Classic interface, after right clicking in the taskbar and selecting Properties, select the Start Menu tab, then Advanced and scroll through the options until you find "Display Administrative Tools". It should be at the top of the list. Put a checkmark in that box.
