New to XP........I need help!

[SharkB8]

I have a been a die hard Windows 2000 guy for years and have just built my first XP box. I have searched the forums and the web but have not found an answer to my question.
I don't like being limited to only Administrator or Limited user groups when creating a new user account in XP. Is there a tweak that enables the old Windows 2000 user creation menus so that the Power User group option is available? I know that the systems at my work are set up like this so there must be a way. Help me, my head hurts from banging it against the wall. :disgust:

You just need a WinNT or Active Directory domain at your house and you're all set!

<--- not aware of any other way, someone skoOl me if there is one

Just change your account settings in 'user accounts' in the 'control panel'. from there, you can create a new account that has all the privs that an admin account does, or change your account to an account name of whatever you want and still have admin rights. hope that helps.
stop banging your head against the wall....you're losing brain cells by the second. :Q
