    Requires Administrator

    Hi All, ............ A friend gave me his Dell Dimension E520 computer with several problems (Desktop, Slow start and Shutdown) and five users. He wanted three users removed. I have been able to remove three users and now have users Bob (Administrator) and Jack (Limited User) remaining. Operating as user Bob, the computer performs well. But with Jack as user some problems still remain. When I try to install a program or for example open Msconfig I get the request for Administrator. So where I need help is: How do I get the Administrator from one user to the other?

    You can find msconfig.exe and right click -> Run as Administrator
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    Steve, ........... OK I got it working and am now able to bring up msconfig.
    Doc, ............. That video was not currently available.

    After removing considerable junk from each of the users and making Jack an administrator the system is performing better. There is still a sight problem re. msconfig and the System Configuration Utility. I'll start a new posting for that. Thank you both for your help.
