Vista - RE: Switching from adminstrator to user

It's been a while since I posted to your thread, sorry I'm still trying to
sort out some driver issues on my own Vista installation with limited time.

I'll assume you haven't moved your data files etc from your administrator
account to your personal account and try to help you.
I did a little research on Vista's user file and could not find anything
specifically related to your configuration. However, as you probably already
know, you can "Move" User settings and data from one folder or volume to
another within each User folder's property settings. I have done that myself
with relatively little hiccups. In my case I'm keeping all the permissions
of my files and folders the same and just changing locations and pointers to
them. Quite simply, I believe you will have to change permissions. But I
can suggest on how to modify your user folder permissions if you are willing.
I can relate to your intrepidation. I think the solution should be
straightforward. Post if you're interested.

Thanks, Eddie, but I've since decided to just continue working with the admin
account - I'm the only one with access to this computer.
