Hi Kathy, >From a security standpoint, it is best to operate from an account other than the administrator account. even if you live by yourself and noone ever uses your computer. Here's why, Should someone manage to penetrate your internet security, they can do more damage to your system if you are logged-in as the administrator. If you are logged-in with less privileges than it would be difficult for someone to make changes to your system.

Hi to all, I have heard some different opinions on user accounts in XP. As of right now I am working off my account that is the same as administrator, should I have a separate account that I work in for everyday computing?
