By default, Windows XP’s new user management tool only allows you to edit the Administrator account if there are no other accounts (excluding Guest) on the system that are active. Here is how to manage it with the Windows NT-style of editing users:

    I have an XP system that will not allow accessing the right-click menu in the start menu.

    There is also a folder in Documents and Settings that is set by the past owner. It can’t be renamed or moved. Are these administrator issues in XP?
