Ok, I have three users, all are admins, cause if I change a user to power user, for some reason my wireless PCI card doesn't seem to wanna work, at least the config console, which stops the whole thing from working. Any ideas on that one? Secondly is how can I make it so that if I change say, a desktop icon, or a skin on one user, it doesn't change it for all? It's annoying when my dad deletes my short cuts.

i get the feeling you are not setting up the user accounts right. ... every user you setup they should only see the default windows screen (ie: no extra icons, default background etc.) right after the account is activated. so in effect each users screen should look like its their computer and not a computer that is shared between users.

That's right Joe, that's what it looked like at the beginning. I haven't touched the new (Win2000) computer for a bit now, but I just tried it out this morning, and all the users have their own stuff, so that's okay, I must have remembered wrong. What I'm wondering, although very trivial, is can I get different skins for different users in winamp? I have winamp 2.81, and I've always gotta share the same skin as my brother<BR>

Just right-click WinAmp, scroll down to skins, and you can pick whatever skin you want (or download more). Do you mean how does one set up WinAmp so it defaults to the last selected skin of the current user, rather than the last skin selected by whomever? Don't know how to answer that. Sorry.

Yeah, that's what I meant rithemking, I just don't like having my brother's skin come up everytime I log onto my user, cause he changes the skin on his user
