Subject: Windows XP Professional User Account Security

This is a home computer, used in a Workgroup. I set up my account first, as
a Computer Administrator. Then I set up my wife's account, also as a
Computer Administrator. I can use and access all folders and programs w/out
error. My wife cannot. When she tries to open c:\Program Files, she gets a
File Not Accessible error window. I have, via Windows "User Accounts",
deleted her account completely. I ran EasyCleaner to wipe out any extraneous
registry keys. I've rebooted the PC. Then I added another new Computer
Administrator account, using a completely unique name. Rebooted and opened
the new account, and I get a "Please wait wile Windows is being configured"
window. C:\Program Files is still not accessible. I have a feeling that I
messed up a security setting somewhere, but I don't know where.

Any ideas?
