Hello,

I have a user and I just added his own laptop to my XP domain.
How can I gave him admin rights to his laptop to manage his programs, files, etc when he is logged in to the domain as a reguler user?


Ask your network administrator or IT department how to add his domain account to the local administrators group.


Also, how can I let him have access to his own/old profile in Documents and Settings as well?

Again, consult your IT department for specific instructions applicable to your specific domain environment.
