When you log into Windows XP as a limited user, standard security settings dictate neither you nor any program you run can change any important Windows setting. On a shared computer, you should follow good security policies by maintaining an administrator account for yourself and give other users limited accounts.

For maximum protection, use a limited account for your own day to day computing needs, logging on as an administrator only when necessary. But it aint that simple…..

Using Windows XP’s limited account (known as “Standard” in Vista) can be a nightmare: Some applications won’t install, run, or even up
