Setting Administration Access (WXP)

[neocruelz]

Hello,
Is it possible on WinXP, that a limited user would be able to change the user profiles so that it becomes an administrator? and if so, how do u execute it? I was set on administrator and my sister as limited, she did something to my computer and now im limited and she's admin. i dunno how to reverse the effects! Please help!

- why is supplies on a truck called 'ship'ment and supplies on a ship called 'car'go?? ;)

No it's not. The limited user doesn't have any available options to do so. Furthermore, you can't copy the admin's ntuser.dat file and overwrite any other account type ntuser.dat file. Also, a limited user cannot make a copy of an Admin's User Profile via the System properties/settings button.

It reads to me like there's more to this puzzle than we're aware of.
