I understand that you can access the true Admin account via the MMC
Users section to enable it through Vista Business or Ultimate.
However, I dont understand how to get to it via Home Premium. This is
so annoying as I login with a user that I initially setup as
Administrator, but it turns out that account really does not have full
privledges. I'm trying to mofigy default user profiles and trying to
delete old ones but no can do under the user with admin rights.

Can you help explain my options to enable the true admin account in
home premium edition?
