Hello,

On one pc(windows 2000) (on workgroup, not domain), any
user with only user privileges is unable to logon. At
each logon attempt the following message appears:

"Your account is configured to prevent you from using this
computer. Please use another computer."

If this same account is then given admin privileges, the
account can then logon. I must have an incorrect setting
in my security policy, but cannot find the solution.
