   Howdy! Alan and Roger,   
      
   Sure!, I'll chime up.   
      
   Ever since Jeff Guerdat told me years ago (2006? 2007?) to change the   
   Built-In Admin Users Account that I had been using on this XP pc, to a   
   Limited Users Account because it would keep the baddies out, I did.   
      
   I had already made another Admin Users Account when I was talking to   
   HP support one day when the tech suggested I make it, so I didn't have   
   any trouble changing it.   
      
   I didn't want to make a New Limited Users Account to use because of all   
   of the settings in all of the programs I used in the Admin Account   
   would have to be (RE)entered in those programs when I used them in the   
   New Limited Users Account, and I'm a lazy guy and was still getting   
   use to XP and the differences it had compared to WIN3.1 and WIN9x   
   and DOS. (Pardon My Language)   
      
   Some Programs that I use I Right-Click on them and select RUNAS...   
   to use them, or they won't work from the Limited Account.   
   I don't mind doing it on XP and I've even adjusted to UAC asking me   
   if it is OK to Run a program on the Vista box.   
      
   I know I have to do it IT'S WAY or THE HIGHWAY!      
   if I want the program to run.   
      
   ... Boot in the root! BAT in a FAT! Backup,backup, DAT,DAT,DAT!! Go... MS!
