- logging on as administrator while in a limited user account...
- Posted by vtt516 on January 28th, 2006
I have Norton's Internet Security 2006. In order to the personal firewall to
allow AOL to connect it must be configured. The account is a limited user
account. I need to be logged on with administrator access but still be a
limited user. I read somewhere about a "secondary logon" that would allow me
to be in a limited user account and yet still be able to log on with my
admin. rights. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am unsure of how to
configure the norton's and yet still have my brother set up with limited use.

Norton and AOL both like to make things difficult in the name of
"user-friendliness". There is free security software that is better than
Norton and easier to work with. Get a free firewall at

Am I correct in assuming that you have never connected with NIS as an
administrator?
If so, I would upgrade your current account to administrator level, connect
to the internet via AOL and get the configuration set, and then downgrade
your account back to Limited.
I run daily as Limited, but frequently need to do this when installing new
software to assure that the necessary registry entries and configuration
details are properly written.
