    every time i try to change what programs start on startup, it says that i have to be an admin to do it. i am the admin though. Win XP SP2

    any ideas?

    Dear TurboXT

    Good morning to you and I was wondering where were you in the window when you try to change startup applications? windows explore? msconfig?
    there are about 5 different ways to do this...

    JL

    to verify that you are login as Admin...
    do start - run - control userpasswords2
    under user tab you will see user name and group..

    which is why I was so happy to return to the Mac OS:D

    I had to learn new ways of doing stuff
    that darn dock - best on the left side of my screen

    good luck
