How do you create a Windows user account with SYSTEM-level priveleges (above administrator-level), and why would you want to?Sorry - Windows XP Pro.Why are you asking?
Because people have talked about it, and I'm curious. Obviously, I have no real NEED to know, since I asked why you might want to do this. And just as obviously, it isn't for any nefarious reason, since what we're talking about here is the OS of a single PC (namely, mine), rather than a server or something. Why, is this CLASSIFIED information?In general, this forum does not give out information that might HELP hackers (or more likely, juvenile pranksters). In general, people who should have system level privileges (a) know how to get them (b) why they need them. Thus a little caution should not surprise you. The system "user" can do ANYTHING with the system, and normally the only "user" with that level of privilege is the OS itself. There isn't really any reason for any user to need system privileges in a normally functioning system.
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that the LocalSystem Account has access to that the standard administrator account does not is being able to read the "System Volume Information" folders. I'm sure there is more. That's all I remember ATM.
