"Your side"...?

Are you saying you went in and changed your user to a limited user
while you were an administrator instead of changing the other users
to limited users?

What Operating System (version)?

If XP Home Edition - boot into safe mode, log on as the user
"administrator" and change your account back.
If XP Professional Edition and you utilize the "welcome screen"
logon (pictures next to usernames) -- Press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice
there and log on as the user "administrator" and change your
account back.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's my computer but others have
accounts too. My account should be the administrator. I changed it
to limited thinking that would limit other people, not myself,
having access to things on my side. Obviously not!

So - did the suggestions fix your issue?
