Urgent help needed with User Accounts!!

6 New Member
Help! I am running windows XP Media Edition. I have 4 accounts set up. Mine is the administrator, 2 are granted administrator privileges and 1 is limited.

The other 3 accounts cannot access the internet because of the McAfee firewall (or so I thought). But when I logged in as my wife (with administrator privileges), I could not even open c:\program files (says I do not have permission). May explain why I cannot open McAfee in her account (and some other various programs).

Is there a way I can reset everyones permissions? Sounds to me like a registry issue, but that is more a shot in the dark than anything else. I tried creating a new administrator level account, but they also were restricted access to areas in the computer.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated (she is messing up my favorites!!)...

Thanks,
Rory

My apologies if this shows up twice.

I'm trying to get a list of user accounts on the local computer - the same list you see when you are about to log in to Windows XP or Vista.

I've tried using the Win32 API LsaEnumerateAccountsWithUserRight with the SE_INTERACTIVE_LOGON_NAME privilege, but it doesn't...

I've got an application that requires displaying all user account information on a specific workstation. It's relatively easy enough to do, however the account list I'm building includes non-typical user accounts - I only want accounts that are visible in the Add Users component of Control Panel.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
