Right click "My Computer", left click "manage", left click the "+" sign next to "users and groups", left click on the "groups folder", double left click the "Administrators" group, all administrators will be listed, remove anyone you don't want to be an administrator.

Removing a user from this spot demotes them to a "restricted" user.

The usual cautions apply, if you remove too may you will lose access to some functions.
