We have several computers in our office that were set up with Administrator
user accounts. I want to change the accounts to either a restricted user or
Power user. When I first tried changing to a restricted user I had a few
problems they were:

1. AutoCad would not open. Stated I needed to reinstall.
2. Could not open up a word document. Did not have rights to.. Just on one
 machine, others were fine.
3. Half of the favorite links in Explorer did not work.

Changed user to a power user and it fixed problem 1. Have had to change user
back to administrator.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dwayne
