RE: User downgraded from Administrator to User retains the ability to list other user's running tasks

> I have found that if a user is downgraded from an administrator role to
a user role, and at the time of downgrading ? the "show processes from
all users" check box in the "processes" tab of the task manager
application was check on for him ? this ability is retained for him
(probably in its profile), although he should not have this right since
he is not a member of the administrators group anymore.

Does the user completely log off after being downgraded from the Admin role,
or was this tested by using the FUS?

BTW, FUS is only available in a work group environment. It is not available
if the computer is a member of a domain.
