I seriously doubt that they would know about the F8 thing, but thanks for pointing that out. I guess the best thing would just be to make the switch...seems like I'd have much less to be concerned with.

I'll still take any other info about dealing with this stuff in Vista though, just cus it's all very interesting to me and I may still be using it for a while.

Thanks.
I am a xp fan and haven't switched to vista and don't plan to, until SP1. I am assuming there is something similar in vista and xp.

In xp, if you are an Admin, you can go into other user accounts via the C:/user folder. As the second post mentioned, security in XP is a joke. You don't have many features at your disposal. All you can do is change/remove their password or delete their accounts.
