James,

Yep!, Users Ain't Users anymore on a computer like it was on the C=64.

Here is a list of "Users" on my box.


 Volume in drive C is HP_PAVILION
 Volume Serial Number is C05A-AC56

 Directory of C:\DOCUME~1

03/09/2007  06:35 PM    <DIR>          .

Just looking at the above I notice several of the dates are changed from
when they were made.

I guess XP changes Directory Dates whenever they are 'used', at least
that is what I have seemed to notice about it.

The HP_Administrator directory was made at the factory and I used it as
it was set up for being an Administrator User Account until I changed it
to a Limited User Account this year, but the date for it is wrong,
it has been quite a few months since I chose to be a Limited user,
Not Last Month!
