Microsoft doesn't think you are smart enough to be an admin, so they hide
the 'real' admin account.
it doesn't matter if your account says admin, you have to ask the Nanny
every time to be allowed to use your admin privilege.
you can enable the built in admin account, or, always right click your
program icon and pick run as admin
