After setting up a system running Windows XP Pro with the user set to be a
member of the Administrators group, that spontaneously changes so the user is
a member of the "Debugger Users" group. I wonder if anyone else has come
across this, and if he knows why it occurs. It isn't generally a problem,
but it does cause some problems at times with some of the software we use
which requires the user be an Administrator. I think it gets changed when
running windows updates, but I'm not sure. I would like to be able to set a
user as an administrator and have that remain the setting, without wondering
how long that will remain in effect.

Thanks for any insight.
