Hi

Help Please

I upgraded from WinXP to Vista Business

I had only one user account

Now this user account is called an Administrator but in reality is not when
you look in the user account settings.
When i select change to Administrator the Change Account type box below
de-activates?

Now i cannot be nor create real administrator priviledges not can i enable
the security features of Vista.

Please help....

any new user account set as an Administrator looks like an Administrator byt
actually

Hi Stuart,

This will show you how to enable the built-in Administrator account in
Vista, like the one in XP.
