   Sorry, missed that on first reading.  However, this is an insecure   
   situation, therefore anyone, say another family member, could have   
   changed something on either PC.

   My advice would be to go into Control Panel, User Accounts, check what   
   user accounts have been set up and their group membership, you won't be   
   able to tell what passwords they have except by changing them but don't   
   change anything yet, and then work through my instructions above   
   checking all the settings mentioned, again not changing anything yet,   
   noting down all this information as you go, and report it back here.
