OK, you are not really listening. I suggested that you map a diagram of your
accounts in a clear algorithmic type of way to preempt any confusion. You
have not done it. Let me try to make some assumptions for you based on the
above statement as I see it.
You are saying that XP users are fine as far as getting into Vista. It means
that they can access any Vista Folder, right? You are not saying that they
can actually control the Vista accounts, even admin accounts. You are not
saying it, I presume. If you really want an XP user (and administrator on XP
machine) to make changes in Vista as a Vista administrator, it is a
different aspect.
From what you seem to be saying in the quoted statement above I deduce that
you want a Vista user with limited admin account to control another Vista
user's full admin account in such a way as to make changes in the account
set up, etc.
Does it sound right? This may not be possible.
FYI, this forum is full of know-it-all trolls who badmouth people trying to
solve other people's problems in good faith. They are near criminal
characters and I was waiting for them to jump in and say: "I do know what
you problem is, Robin!" So far we haven't heard that.
Anyhow, I will keep trying to help you but keep it in mind that my network
experience is limited and I need a much better description as to what your
actual account set up it.
