Our accounts are both password protected and we both have admin settings so even though I could get onto her account and log her off it just gets me in trouble. So I was wondering:
1. Is restarting the PC so often going to harm it in anyway? Normally you only restart after installing an application or if you're computer is having trouble but I must restart at least twice a day. Is there any other way I could log her account off without restarting or messing with her settings?
2. The reason she has admin settings is because she claims some of her programs otherwise don't work. Like Limewire. Is there a way to adjust the settings so these programs will work on a normal, non-admin account? Because I really don't like the idea of her having admin abilities and I'm kind of the maintenance guy for our PC.

1. yes, restarting often isnt good for the comptuer.
are you talking about XP? because theres a log off button and a switch users. Switch users leaves everything on for that user and lets another user log on. Log off completly logs that user off, nothing in that account is running, restarting doesnt do any extra.
2. if thats the case then its tryin to use something that you'd need to unlock, or its installed in a spot thats for admin.
should try searching on google for that.
