Windows XP, limited accounts, and system time
« on: August 04, 2009, 10:06:33 PM »
Is there a way to give a limited user account on Windows XP Pro access to the system time?

I *think* Super User has that right.  If not, you may be able to use the policy editor to give that user specific rights to change the system time.

I'm on XP Home right now or I'd tell you exactly how.  I'll check tomorrow when I'm at work.

I want it mainly because I'm used to double-clicking the clock to get a quick and easy calendar to reference, and I find out recently that limited user accounts can't do that.

Open the group policy editor.  (Start-->Run-->gpedit.msc <enter>)

Go to:
Local computer Policy\Computer configuration\Windows Setting\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\
Double click on "Change The System Time" and add the user.

I THINK this'll work.

What Robear said...

Open the Group Policy editor, go to Windows Settings, then User Rights Assignments.  You'll find the Change System Time option there.
