Windows ME doesn't have administrator "rights" like Windows 2K or XP. It
does have "Policies" that can be set for each logged in user. If these are
enabled, you should be able to find somewhere under the "Windows"
sub-directory, files with the "pol" extension, such as
<userid>.pol. Search for *.pol and see if they are there.
Unless you are restricted in your Policy privileges, you can launch the
Policy Editor (poledit.exe) and change the restrictions for the user id.
