It may or it may not be. Right-click My Computer, choose Manage, expand
"Local Users and Groups", select Users, right-click your account, choose
Properties, and examine the Member Of tab. If it contains "Administrators",
then it is. If not, it isn't and you'll have to uninstall the application
and use an Administrator account to reinstall the it.

I have no option of 'Local Users and Groups'
And Outlook ran up til 1-2 weeks ago without this burp. Does this not
imply it was set up correctly already?

Were I in your shoes, I'd uninstall and reinstall. I'd also use the account
named "Administrator", the password for which you created when you set up
your PC (if, in fact, you did set it up).

Bummer. But how do I use administrator. According to
windowsxp.mvsp.org, "In Windows XP Home Edition, you can login as
built-in Administrator in Safe Mode only"

Well, then, let's find out another way if your current user profile is an
administrator account. CLick StartControl PanelUser AccountsUser
Accounts and examine the Users tab. Your username should appear there and
your membership should be listed under ther Groups column.

Have 2 - didn't know that!
1) 'Jay Lunis Computer Administrator'
2) 'Guest - Guest accout is off'
I suppose that means if I am logged on as 'Jay Lunis' I have full
administrator priveleges. But 'Guest?' This is probably outside the
charter of this ng, but how do I know which account I am logged on as?
How do I know if I even need 'Guest?' How do I remove 'Guest?' If you
prefer, just direct me to the proper ng.

You should, yes, so I can't explain your symptoms. I'd still consider
uninstalling and reinstalling.

Guest is disabled by default. It is a standard Windows XP Home account.
