    How to tell if current user has admin privileges?

    You could try having the batch file try to create a file in the root of c: (e.g. ECHO Test Text > C:\TEST.TXT) and the use IF EXIST C:\TEST.TXT to see if the file was created. Since restricted users have only read permissions to the root of c: the file will be missing whereas an Admin user will...

    REGSVR32 Error Message

    I think you're using too many switches - try just REGSVR32 /u DLLPathFileName first then with the /i swich if this is unsuccessful.

    Usernames

    You'll need to go to the local security policy (under the Administrative tools) the look under Local Policies > Security Options to find the "Don't display last user name in logon screen" key. Change the setting to Disabled. If your PC is part of an AD domain, then this setting may...

    Problem with line up printing labels in Word 2000.

    This is only a guess but it is probably to with the change in printer driver and/or fonts when you upgraded. (The lines may be slightly smaller than previously. Using a table to format the labels might help, particularly as you can then specify an exact height and width for the cells. Hope this...

    Cannot send zip files in Outlook

    If you're using Outlook with dial-up e-mail, then there's nothing you can do but change the file extension. If you're attaching to an Exchange server, the the rules for sending/receiving attachments can be set at the server -go and talk nicely to your Exchange Administrator! :o)
