Hi - After dropping any account from admin level to "user", I've
noticed the following:
1 - The wallpaper's gone.
2 - I can't create or delete files in the Windows folder. (I get an
access denied message.)
3 - When I right click on the desktop, I get the context menu. Under
New> , I only get Shortcut and Folder, I don't have Notepad, Word doc,
Image etc.
4 - When I do display properties, I can't choose a different theme,
and the desktop preview is black, with only the top edge of the
Recycle Bin showing.
I'm sure there are some other glitches, but you get the gist.
The question is, why is this happening?
More background:
XP, SP2, all updates. New install, so Firefox installed, no other
apps.
When installing XP, I changed the default location of the Documents
and settings folder to D: drive.
I used the profile "Copy to" feature a bit (this lets you make one
profile the template for another profile) - I think this might have
caused problems.
Ah yes - another bit of weirdness - In User Accounts in Control Panel:
All the little profile pictures you can choose (the cute puppy, the
bass guitar, the snowboard dude etc) are missing. (When I create a
new profile, it gets given the Chess pieces as it's picture. I think
this is the default picture when XP doesn't know what pic to give
you.)
Any ideas? Any help?
Thanks,
Richard
