The user has one piece of software that won&#8217;t run in Vista or 7, so we are using Windows XP Mode. I was logged in as administrator and had everything working fine, but when the other user logged in, the Windows XP Mode they saw wasn&#8217;t the same.

Of course it wasn&#8217;t until afterward that I found some helpful hints.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Microsoft Answers has <a href=\"http:\/\/social.answers.microsoft.com\/Forums\/en-US\/w7security\/thread\/0f9d0ded-dea5-4b6f-ba75-db0a78a4b3de\">a nice thread that explains how to reset the Windows XP Mode password<\/a><\/li>\n<li>XP-More is a piece of software &#8220;that helps manage Windows 7 Virtual Machines (XP Mode and any other).
