    Start/Computer access, limited user account.


    I have two limited user accounts on my system, and my Admin account.
    My Admin account can access Start/Computer and any drive I have.
    My limited user accounts cannot, they can't even access the Public folders, only their own folders (which also means the libraries are limited to them also).
    I created a new test (limited user) account, and it was able to access these with no issues.
    Originally they could access the drives with no problems.
    I do not know what changed, and therefore how to resolve this.
    Please help?
