Nope. No GPOs that I’m aware of, and I was here when the contractor built the domain for us, so I think I’d know. J The user’s start menu looks different when she’s a member of the local admin group than when she’s just a power user too. The admin has the “old style” start menu and the power user has the “new” style Windows XP start menu. Which is really weird. It’s almost like she’s got two different profiles, one for admin and one for power user, but I watched her log in and it’s the same username/password both times.

Hmm… guess I could redirect LPT2 (it’s already pointing lpt1 to another printer hooked up to a PC) and point it at that.

She normally prints to a network printer, but for some reason, if I take her out of the local admins group, it will remove the network printer from her machine and disallow her adding it back. But if I add her back to the local admins group next time she logs back in, the network printer is there and is the default again. What’s going on and how do I fix it? I’m trying to keep from having every user be a local admin, but apparently if they’re going to print to a network printer, they’re going to have to be. At least that’s what it seems like…. Do I need to do anything special to give her access to the network printer w/o making her a local admin? Thanks!
