I have changed these settings (assigned them to the Administrators = Group) for the need of a software package and I need to know how these = policies affect my system in terms of security and functionality as well = as the influence they have on the Administrators of the System. While I have changed them and assigned all these to the Administrators = Group I don't remember anymore which of them were assigned or not to the = Administrators Group before changing them - as a system default - and = which were their original status! (especially for number 2). Any help is really appriciated. Any internet resource that can me help understand in detail all the User = Rights Assignment Policies (or even all the Local Security Settings!) on = Windows 2000, I will be very willing to read and learn.
