Windows NT administrative rights

Comment:

This may sound like a stupid question to you, but I need to give a user administrative rights to an NT box, and I can't seem to find any information on how to do it.

I tried that already, it didn't give the priviledges the user needs. It won't let her save programs, or access certain others.

Michael, Those are the steps required. If her account is in the Local Administrator Group, she can indeed do anything on the machine. What exact steps did you take?
