Default XP users automagically become Administrators

Here's a weird one. I have 4 users (me, my wife and 2 kids) sharing a
single XP SP2 box. There are 5 logins (when counting the
Administrator). My normal login also has administrative privileges.

Now, here is the weird part: despite my repeated changes of Account
Type from "Computer Administrator" to "Limited User" via the User
Accounts applet in Control Panel, my wife and kids keep switching back
to the Computer Administrator Account Type!

At first, I thought my son had my password and was changing it but I
know for a fact that he isn't. My wife almost never uses her account
and her account type changes too.

Any ideas? This is kind of freaking me out!
