She's only 2.......terribly so. 😀

Compared to my other two I think she will forever be the baby even when she's 20 yrs old. 🙂

Ha ha, that reminds me of Richard Feynman.

Intriguing. You got me to readin' up on the guy. I assume your reference is to his lock picking tricks.

Perhaps we should add his Lectures on Physics to our recommended books thread. I was also amazed by the prescience of his "minority report" on the Challenger loss--perhaps he should have titled it Unsafe at Any Speed. 😞

I sent that info to a friend and here's his reply:

Hi Don,

OK. I set up a restricted account and ran the command "control userpasswords2" which opens up the control panel applet and with the parameter of userpasswords. That does work!

However when you attempt to change the administrator's password, Windows will tell you that you have to belong to ...[text shortened]... H BUSTED! ( At least on my 3 machines. ) *s*

Can you comment on this?

"I set up a restricted account "

Duh!


MYTH BUSTED BUSTED!!!!


BTW. Why did you have to "send it to your friend" when you could just try it yourself?
You're just an argumentative person - why do you not make a suggestion to help instead of trying to criticize others? 😠😠😠😠

That's ok....I'll fix up all up real good 😠

Well you could un-install and re-install norton, put in a new password that you will remember.

I wasn't criticizing you my friend. I appreciate your expertise using Windows and sent the info to a friend because his job is repairing computers. I thought it might be useful to him.

Edit: The "Myth busted" thing was his reply.

Yes, my reference was to his lock picking tricks. I have only read his autobiography - hilarious reading! He describes his lock picking tricks at Los Alamos in some detail there. One of the things he found out was that a lot of people hadn't bothered to change the code of their high-security vaults from the default, so you could open a lot of vaults with "000000" or something like that.
