    XP Pro waking up into Administrator mode.

    A friend asked me if I had ever heard and XP Pro computer, logged in as one of the regular users, have the computer go into power save and wake up as the administrator account?

    Sounds like the ultimate user dream, I know, but to the user- an inconvenience because they have to log off and log back in again to restore their profile/options.

    Any ideas?

    No fix, I just had to tell you how bizarre I find that...

    For starters, is the local admin Password blank? I would correct that if they are. Is there any tweak program installed? If so purge it.

    Have you ran a virus scan, and ran adaware or the like?

    Can you duplicate this every time??? And how many PC's is this effecting...?

    Give us more detail please...

    Thanks, Ya_know, +Daemon+; I will get more information on the situation and get back to the thread... I didn't quite know how to respond to his predicament, myself. It is quite puzzling!
