Default USER ACCOUNTS

Help! Whenever I try to switch user, it doesn't go to the
welcome screen. Instead, it says "This computer Has Been
locked". I have to type in my user name, and I can't view
the users on the computer on the side. I looked in help
and support, and it said classic prompt, and I did
everything they told me to, but the screen I want to show
doesn't.

I really dont understand what are you trying to say but
if you want to switch to Welcome Screen mode then:
Control panel -> users account -> Change the way users
log on or off -> Check: Use welcome screen and if you
want to you can also choose you fast switching
I hope it will help. Tell me if you have more problem and
give me more details if you need help.

Default User Accounts

I just created a separate Windows XP user account and I
was wondering if I could transfer some files from one
user to another. If anyone knows how I can do this
please contact me at GR8PTGRD34@comcast.net

Hi,
I've downloaded Kazaa and want to have it work on my
son's user account as well as mine. Do I have to
download it again or is there a way to transfer it over?
Thanks
Bev

Hey,

You can install Kazaa to the regular Program Files Folder
then when you go to your sons account, right-click on the
task bar, and click on the Start Menu tab on the top.
Look down and you will see 2 options, one says Start Menu
and the other says Classic Start Menu. If the first
option is selected then you should be able to see it in
the Start Menu (if not then just go to the
<driveletter>:\Program Files\Kazaa folder and execute the
program (kazaa.exe). You can actually do that even if
the second option is selected but if you like using the
start menu, just click on customize, go to the list of
items and click the checkbox next to "Use personalized
items" to make it blank. Press ok and it'll be in the
start menu.

Hi Mond,
This might help: Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm and scroll
down to "Restrictions" (you might do a 'find' of the word in IE as it is a
huge page)
