I have Windows XP pro SP2.. I setup a limited user account on my desktop. I want to know, as the administrator, how i can manage the access control for this account.. like which files, folders and programs this user can access. And how can i restrict the user from creating/modifying files in a specific folder.

As far as i know, there's supposed to be a 'security' tab in the properties of a folder (or a file).. but I don't get that...

Please help.

Alright i sorted that out.. suddenly blurted out the whole @@@@ thing to myself.. mind games they say.

Anyhow, here's the next question ::

Can I, as the administrator, DELETE the built in 'administrator' account using the computer management facility. would it cause any problems..

Alrite i figured that out... i feel stupid now... anyways, I have another question! (not surprisingly)

Can I, as the administrator, DELETE the built-in "administrator" account using the computer management console. its a part of the 'administrators group'... so would it cause any problems?

okay i didn't do that... it was a server problem....

No, you cannot, without causing major problems.

Why would you want to?

You can rename it and should password protect it.

Most people don't even know it exists.
