All,

In the last few motnths I set up XP home with
2 admin accounts and two limited accounts. All
was well until a few days ago. Now when one tries
to log into the limited accounts, there are
a number of problems.

1) Some programs run verrrry slowly.
2) Windows explorer will not run at all. It aborts
   most of the time.
3) The Start Menu can get hung up. It comes up, but
   the progam menu goes completely blank and hangs there.
4) One cannot log off the limited account as Explorer
   aborts and restarts. It is necessary to use Task
   Manager to log off a limited account.
5) My McAfee VS 6.0 complains about missing files. which
   are not missing.

If the account is changed to an admin account everything
Works fine. Any insights or suggestions would be welcome.

Thnaks in advance.
