I am afraid you cannot be admin without being admin.
The question should be, if they should stay admins.

U need to demote others to have only 1 admin user who can control all of them.

One ring to rule them all
One ring to find them
One ring to bring them all
And to darkness bind them

Start menu items are of 2 kinds:
1]User's items, independent on other users setting,
all have full rights above their items.
2]All Users settings, shown in all start menus,
read access for all, write access for admins only.

All and User items can be copied, if needed,
as far as access rights allows.

Try to find all "Start Menu" and "Desktop folders.
Items under c:\userd\yourusername are your ( or user's ) items.
Items anywhere else are items for all users, that are automatically
added touser items.
In XP they were under All users folder, in Vista there is lot of
redirection. E.g. users\all users is redirected to \ProgramData
\Programdata\Desktop is redirected to \users\public\desktop
\Programdata\Start menu is redirected to \Programdata\Microsoft\windows
\start menu
