There are several ways to fix this problem:
The best way: Get regmon and filemon from sysinternals and find out what
your program is trying to access, then give your user sufficient
permissions. The downside is this is kind of complicated.
A good way: Give your user write permission to program files and winnt and
full control of HKLM\Software. This is less secure but reasonably easy and
fast
An ok way: Make your user a power user. This often opens you up to a
number of security risks but is the least hassle to deal with.
The wrong way: Do everything as administrator. This is not a good idea,
and I don't recommend it, especially if you don't know what you're doing.
However, all that said, as long as you have a good virus scanner, spybot
detector and firewall, you're probably ok for home use.

Export your outlook express settings, and import them from your admin user
id.

Sounds like you just need a decent win2kpro manual, you can pick one up at
any bookstore with a computer section, or order one from www.amazon.com
