Member of administrator can chat on msn or yahoo.

There it is a trick to do that...

Just add your account in the local guest built in group.

It will let you chat on MSN and Yahoo.

The only problem with that suggestion is a member of the Users group cannot add or remove users from groups.

There's nothing you can do as a member of the Users group and I'm willing to bet that since you're in a university, there's a darn good reason you're not allowed to and bypassing (or attempting to bypass) this security setting will likely get you into a lot of trouble.

I worked at a large tech school myself as an admin and several students were dismissed from the school and charge criminally for their actions (ie: trying to bypass network security)....ask yourself this, is chatting online worth having that happen to you?
