User options at startup??

[Guest The Kat]

I'm trying to help a friend fix his system.

 

He has W2k Pro, and had to replace his primary

HD, which worked OK, but he's now stuck in a

non-administrator account with no option at

startup to select any other account.

 

I'm SURE I used to know how to reset that

option (he needs the access to do backups),

but I CAN'T remember how to do it now.

 

Anyone, please??

You have two options:

- Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to log off, then log on as the other user.

- Press a Shift key during the boot phase in order to cancel the

auto-logon process.

 

Note that auto-logon settings are mostly set in the Control

Panel, users and passwords.
