Being an MCSE I understand this, what I do not understand
is why you can not change it in one section without
knowing the existing password, and another place, you can
change it regardless. That DOES need fixing IMO

>This is not something that needs fixing. This is by
design. When you make a user an Administrator, you give
them full control over the System. That's the purpose of
an Administrator Account. Samantha's suggestion will
work, if you're running NTFS for your file system, but if
they're an Administrator level user, there is nothing to
stop them from putting the permissions back.

search for Power User. This gives the user much
more "Authority" than a Limited user, but prevents them
from full access, including modifying Administrator
accounts.
