I only seem to have three account types as options. Administrator User Guest. I am used to Win2k Pro. Where I have Power User, Backup Operator Etc. I tried to find them in xp pro but I could not, and could not find any relevent Microsoft Knowledge Base Articles. ---------------------- These accounts do exist in XP Pro, but you must locate them in the Computer Management msc (management system console?), a standard MS came up with for Win2K. It's accessible by several methods. If you have the default XP desktop/view enabled, right click My Computer, then left click Manage. In the left pane of the console, there is a users and groups category. Working from here, you can promote/demote users to the groups you mentioned above. Note that these other groups are NOT available in XP Home. HTH, Paul A.
