We have a couple of pcs running XP Pro in a Community Drop-in. Occasionally, one of our "helpful" youngsters sets a password on the general user account. It's not a problem in that we can reset it through the Admin account but I would prefer they couldn't change the password in the first place.

Can you give a clue as to whether (and if so how) I can set the parameters for the password so that only the admin can change it?

See if this helps :

1) Configuring Windows XP/2000 for use on University Network

2) How to change the password policy

3) M$ Security Options

Hope this helps, especially the first one.

Sorry I've been a while replying - been in sunny South of France!

Thanks for the thoughts - the first item seems to relate to network logons whereas I'm trying to restrict Windows logon. Well, not so much restrict, more just stop someone setting up a password for a limited account. I'll have a look through some of the bits on the second link. The third link doesn't work.

Ah, to be in southern France.

Just checked third link and had no problem. Must be M$ messing around with you.
