XP basic question

Hi,

In Windows XP Pro, I only see the most basic of settings for user accounts,
even though I am logged in as administrator. How can I change the view so
that I am able to edit more advanced user settings?

I would also like any users logged on to the computer to be logged out after
so many idle minutes. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance,

JohnH

Hi John,

Start/run:

control userpasswords2
secpol.msc (Pro only)
gpedit.msc (Pro only)

Even easier: Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-
Users and Groups
