Hello All!

My thanks to Michael Grant and Jay Fuller, who were extremely helpful in
solving my problem. Turns out Michael was correct, it was a permissions
problem. Also, Jay led me to the solution. 

The problem was that I couldn't del a couple of files in my temp fir after
I had writen them to a CD. 

When I log on I see usually myself /phil or my daughter /stacy. Quite often
I don't even see that as I put it on auto and it goes right to my profile
and starts up there, in case I'm not around for the reboot.At least my fido
mail will start up and continue to run. 

First thing, I went back to the old way, where you have your options as to
which profile you plan on using. I didn't see Aministarator in these
options, just myself or stacy. But, when I took Jay's advice and went to
safe mode, this time I saw Administrator there for an option. I used it and
then I was able to proceed down thru the many dir's and /finally/ del the
couple of troublesome files.  Which brings me to a couple of
questions. when I logged in as phil, which had admin rights, why couldn't I
del those files.
It seems that although admin has full rights, it doesn't have rights for
another admin account. Didn't realize that. Aslo, if I ever have any more
of these troubles, do I have to go back to safe mode to get into
Adimistrator account, I see quite a few folders and dir with this
owner.(Administrator) 

While I'm here, I'll get a few more questions squared away.  :) Here's the
scenario. Two users on the computer, mine and my daughters. Now, Kazza and
MSN which I don't need on my end, she uses quite a bit. How do I go about
setting it up so if/when I logon to my account, I don't have to see this
stuff and vice versa with a lot of my fidonet stuff for her. Also, at
startup I have my virus checker fired up and my firewall. Do I need these
to 
also start in her account? Little confused with some of this, as it seems
some programs don't want to try and start when it's already running som
ewhere else. Hope I'm making some sense.  :)  I'm in the process of buying
Win XPPRO and want to get a better understanding before putting that puppy
up. 

Have a nice day!
                  Phil
