This is a statement, not a question. But I'll take a whack at it anyway, and try to guess what you're trying to ask. I'm guessing that you're looking for a way to avoid using the built-in Administrator account for your application. You can use Windows Authentication and assign access rights to users there, or you can create a new user in SQL Server Express and use that account for access. I believe you can assign Roles to users in SQL Server; Administrator would not be my first choice, unless you need this account to have full control over everything in the server. You might want to spend a few nights reading up about users and roles in the online help system before you jump into anything. And no, I'm not an expert, but a newbie like you, as you can tell from the dumb question I'll be posting as soon as I submit this. But I have spent some time studying, and it's definitely worthwhile. :-D

The problem ( or my be not ) is that you need administrator right to perform hard or soft maintenance in XP SO. and I want avoid that maintenance team have access to the databases. As we know BUILTIN\Administrator is derived from windows access rights. I've created a Sql login account with sysadmin rights but i can't to change permissions of BUILTIN\Administrator( for ex. avoid to init session). I don't know how do that..... thanks.
