No. I have so much more fun fucking with him. Plus, I am not trying to get Mindy into trouble (as much as I professionally hate her). ---

you can also simply block access to the specific sites through ie’s built in security. ---

Control Panel -\> User Accounts -\> Click guest2 -\> Change account type. Then it tells me that I have to pick another user with administrator access before I can change it, but my Administrator user (the one I’m logged in on) has Adminsitrator access… so WTF? ---

you need to be the admin admin… won’t always work with a user with admin rights unless you properly delegated permissions… you can also change it as the local admin off the domain. ---

I am the “Admin Admin” (as you put it). I can’t delete the user either, if I could figure out how to do that, that would be fine too! ---

Reboot into safe mode… Administrator is often left as a blank password… log-in as that and then change it to limited access… should work :dunno: ---

As far as deleting it… i have a program that will login to the windows registry through DOS and do anything you want to the registry… change passwords, delete accounts… anything ---

WTF @ Darkstar… SonofaBish, I’ll try re-booting into Safe Mode first. If I can just change the permissions to limited that would be fine for me. ---

I’m logged in as Administrator in general. Not specifically Administrator@domain. I only have two users… Administrator and guest2 (and guest, but it’s not active). 2. When I do that, it only shows the user that I’m logged in as, is that correct? It (of course) won’t let me delete that. I’m not messing w/ registry. I hate doing that. ---
