I am running Windows XP Pro and want to stop my sister who uses a Limited account from being able to access the control panel. I know this can be done by using the Group Policy Editor but it blocks it for me as well my sisters account.

Adding new hardware

bchilly
I just had windows re-installed on my PC and whenever I connect a USB device it makes that Do-Dum sound but nothing else happens - it doesn't install my hardware. The only way it will work is if I enter device manager right click on the device (which has a question mark icon) and select Update Driver.

bchilly
My PC has XP Home SP2. I have an XP Pro cd which is only service pack 1. Is there a way I can upgrade to Pro without affecting the files on my HDD. Also will there be collisions involving the fact one is SP2 and the other is SP1?.

Heres the story, I installed the Windows Vista Transformation pack and didn't like so uninstalled it. The uninstaller removed nothing of the pack so i was stuck with the windows vista look. After an hour of trying to fix this I decided to remove Service Pack 2 to see if tht would restore anything.
