    I tried to remone a startup program with msconfig and XP told me I had to
    be administrator to do so. The system was a gift so I don't know which
    choice was administrator. One is guest, the other two are the previous
    owner's and his wife. I am using the previous owner choice when the system starts.

    Now what? His wife? Doubtful. Can I make myself administrator? I need to remove that app and many others.

    TIA

    If you're trying to remove Norton Security (and maybe similar
    software), you might need to fiddle with the registry.
    But you didn't mention which program you were trying to
    remove...
