OS= XP pro

One of my workers bought a used laptop. Although he is in the computer with an "administrator" level login, he seems to have limited access. This came to my attention while I was removing a lot of spyware from his computer.

In the control panel, remove programs window, many of the installed programs will not allow us to uninstall.

Also, when trying to change some of the settings on the computer I get a message that the "network administrator" has limited access.

Any ideas on a fix or workaround?

I guess we could format the drive, but since it is a used computer he does not have the master XP disk. (And no, he will not consider Linux.)

Thanks for your time and help.
