I've run accross an interesting problem. I have my son's
account that's getting the following popup at log on.

"your account is configured to prevent you from using
this computer"

I'm on a stand alone pc. I dont have him in the "deny
logon locally" on security policy, nor is he a member of
a group that's affected by that policy. I do have him in
the user's group, which can log on locally. It seems that
only members of the local adminstrators group can log
onto this PC. He was able to log on recently, and I
haven't messed with the local group policy.

Any ideas?

Thanks
