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
